On this week's show, the Trump Indictmental is suspended, the grand jury is sent home again, and Carrie Lake wins her appeal. Plus, Walmart lays offs people, and the economy is starting to get bad.
00:00:47.000We were worried that Donald Trump would be arrested, the first president, former president in history, to be arrested on some kind of criminal charge.
00:00:53.000But it looks like Donald Trump calling it out, creating a press storm, likely put pressure that resulted in this going away.
00:01:01.000I think that if Donald Trump didn't say anything, then it likely would have happened because there was no pushback.
00:01:06.000Now a bunch of these more, I don't know, middle-of-the-road conservative types are calling Trump a grifter over it.
00:01:12.000He raised 1.5 million dollars, probably more.
00:01:40.000Maybe the lower court will just say screw off, because they're not going to want to listen to it.
00:01:44.000But potentially, if this goes back to the lawsuit, if this goes back to actually addressing signature review issues, then something might happen.
00:01:53.000Perhaps they actually have to go and review the signatures and then start disqualifying them.
00:01:57.000I don't know for sure, but we'll talk about it.
00:01:59.000And then, we got a whole bunch of crazy news about layoffs.
00:02:02.000Apparently, Indeed is laying off people.
00:02:04.000We've got Walmart shutting down stores and laying off people.
00:02:09.000Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's basically what we do here, and it looks like the economy's starting to get pretty bad.
00:02:13.000So, before we get into all that, head over to TimCast.com.

00:03:11.000But also, Head over to TrashHouseRecords.com and pre-order our new song, Bright Eyes.
00:03:18.000As you can see, it says zero songs right here because it comes out tonight at midnight.
00:03:23.000So if you order it now, it counts towards our next week of sales.
00:03:30.000Maybe you support our cultural endeavors.
00:03:32.000I appreciate that a whole lot as well.
00:03:34.000We've been banned by Bandcamp for no reason, and it's probably just because they don't like us politically.
00:03:40.000They do not want us getting a foothold in cultural space as well.
00:03:44.000Sad news for them, we don't need them.
00:03:46.000For now, we're using Amazon, which is not perfect, but we do have alternatives where we're gonna pick up more song sales, other websites that will be live this coming week.
00:04:00.000So pre-order the song if you want to help us stick it to the man once again.
00:04:04.000If you like the music that we produce, we will keep producing more.
00:04:07.000With the rollout of this song, we are starting to gear up into getting new artists and more artists and expanding beyond just the four songs that we'll have released so far.
00:04:40.000For the people who are watching live, stream going down has to be on YouTube's end, not ours, because everything we got going is good, so we'll just carry on.
00:05:00.000Matt Kibbe, president of Free the People.
00:05:02.000Free the People basically produces video content designed to reach people out of our tribe.
00:05:07.000We want to turn on a new generation to the values of liberty and cooperation.
00:05:12.000We want to get into that cultural space where I think most people live.
00:05:16.000And I'm also the host of Kibbe on Liberty on Blaze TV.
00:05:18.000What was the recent documentary you guys did?
00:05:21.000The most recent one, well the one I was talking about, was one about Thomas Massey called Off the Grid with Thomas Massey.
00:05:28.000We made it three or four years ago and it's about the down-to-earth values of someone that lives off of the land.
00:05:36.000He built his own home by hand from materials that he found on his farm in Kentucky.
00:05:43.000He's 100% green guy because he likes the independence of not being dependent on the government who can flip off the switch.
00:05:52.000And that was recently featured in the New York Times as an example of this new generation of conservative libertarian Republicans who are reaching people outside of our tribe.
00:06:05.000There's a lot of disaffected liberals who love the environment.
00:06:38.000Trump issues another threat and tells Soros-backed animal Alvin Bragg to drop the Sturmey Daniels case as grand jury is canceled for the rest of the week and questions grow about looming indictment.
00:06:49.000Manhattan grand jury members were told not to show up to court on Thursday.
00:06:53.000Sources tell DailyMail.com prosecutors are having trouble convincing the jury to indict Trump over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
00:06:59.000Trump is expected to fly to Waco, Texas on Saturday for a campaign event.
00:07:04.000Trump's also raised $1.5 million off of it.
00:07:06.000I think he's done absolutely the right thing.
00:07:08.000I think he's doing the right thing by continually calling this out, and I think only because he called it out are they backing down.
00:07:15.000So they don't convene the grand juries on Friday.
00:07:27.000So they get a chance, they wanna convince the jury, but if they can't convince the jury, I think that means that they lose the case.
00:07:33.000I don't think that means you get to keep trying to convince them every day, but, is there some legal precedent where you're allowed to be like, you don't believe me yet?
00:07:39.000Alright, we'll see you again tomorrow.
00:07:40.000Until they break the jury and make the jury go the way they want them to.
00:08:12.000I think there's exculpatory evidence that outright proves Donald Trump didn't do it, and they're desperately trying to do this anyway.
00:08:19.000But I think that Donald Trump calling this out and saying they're trying to arrest me is what caused this to basically start breaking apart.
00:08:25.000High level of media scrutiny, political scrutiny, Alvin Bragg is probably sweating it.
00:08:30.000He issued a letter, sent it to Congress.
00:08:33.000I have a feeling that coming next week it probably won't happen.
00:08:35.000Not to mention, I'm willing to bet, when Democrats saw the news that Trump raised $1.5 million in three days, they were like, dude, you gotta stop doing this.
00:08:42.000Like, I know it's good for your career and all, but you're filling his war chest.
00:08:48.000I think I think this guy learned what every Republican primary opponent of Trump learned the hard way in 2016, which is this.
00:09:38.000They can't believe that this is happening to him.
00:09:40.000And the element of surprise that we've talked about a little bit, the perp walk photo that I think a lot of left-leaning journalists would have really liked to have published, it's gone, right?
00:09:57.000Like, they completely miscalculated how he would handle the situation.
00:10:01.000I wonder if it's that Alvin Bragg is this low-level nobody.
00:10:05.000You know, it's like, imagine you're the CEO of this big company, and you're about to do a big merger deal or some big buyout, and then the janitor throws a water balloon at the other company's president.
00:10:16.000Like, so Bragg is this nobody, and he's like, I wanna be famous, I'm gonna indict Trump, and the Democratic leadership is like, what is this guy doing?
00:10:25.000He is making Trump's base fervent, he is riling them all up, filling his war chest, and then I wonder if he got a phone call and they were like, you need to stop.
00:10:36.000See, I wonder if- Absolutely happened that way.
00:11:02.000Also, yesterday we talked about it, and Michael Cohen is apparently the one that paid Stormy Daniels $125,000.
00:11:08.000From the evidence I saw yesterday, there was no evidence of Trump paying her anything.
00:11:12.000So maybe there is evidence of that that I haven't seen?
00:11:14.000No, there's... My understanding is there's no evidence.
00:11:17.000And what they're doing is that Cohen paid the money, and then in the legal bills that Trump paid is a comparable amount of money, and they're like, aha, that proves it.
00:11:26.000And it's like, no, it just proves that Cohen lied.
00:11:29.000And he went to jail for it because he's a liar.
00:13:22.000So there is no circumstance where Obama is innocent in this.
00:13:26.000I don't, I mean, when you're the president and you're in control of the military and you have a war enemy and you want to kill his family members.
00:13:31.000We are not at war with Yemen, Yemeni civilians.
00:13:35.000I agree, we haven't been at war since World War II.
00:13:37.000Yes, but we're not, like, you can make the argument that, well, you know, in Iraq and Syria there's a war going on, there's an AUMF, the Congress Authorized Use of Military Force.
00:13:46.000Obama was like, What's this country we're going to be blowing up?
00:14:03.000If Barack Obama walked out into the street with a gun and shot a kid, that is not nearly as bad as ordering a drone strike on a civilian restaurant, using the might of the American military, a multi-million- how much does a Hellfire missile cost?
00:14:38.000Everything that happened in Vietnam was complete BS, and yes, but the commander is not the president, okay?
00:14:45.000So there is an issue of the banality of evil, and if someone is ordered to drop napalm on civilians, yeah, I'm gonna be in favor of them going to prison.
00:14:54.000You do not get to be like, but my boss told me to do it!
00:14:56.000And if Barack Obama is like, I'm gonna rubber stamp blown up civilians, I'm gonna be like, well, then you get to go to jail.
00:15:01.000So if they want to come out and complain about Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels, my response is this.
00:15:27.000You're letting a lot of politicians off the hook because I come from the school of thought that all politicians are criminals and particularly all chief executives have committed war crimes against humanity.
00:15:38.000So while we're arresting people and imprisoning them, let's grow the list.
00:15:48.000But we were talking about this before the show, and I mentioned this, and you were like, I'll take that compromise.
00:15:52.000Like, I like Trump, but I will gladly accept him getting a few months on a misdemeanor charge if it means Obama gets life in prison for the things that he did.
00:16:01.000There's no excuse, there's no, but he was in charge of the military, dude.
00:16:05.000If I ask someone to hold my weapons for me, you know, like, I'm gonna put you in charge of the weapons in this house, use it responsibly, and then he goes, okay, and then he grabs it and starts shooting a kid with it, I'd be like, okay, you're going to jail.
00:16:17.000Like, we're gonna stop you and lock you up.
00:16:19.000We did not entrust you with our military arsenal so you could go and blow up civilians in a country we are not at war with.
00:17:00.000Was he- Why are you conflating active warfare with declarations and the world involvement with a country is not at war with us but Obama wanted to send a message so he executed an American citizen by blowing up a civilian restaurant?
00:17:19.000Okay, so imagine if Barack Obama got mad at the Mexican drug cartels, so him and his buddies got a bunch of fully automatic rifles, went to the home of a bunch of Hispanic children who were friends with or had grown up with these cartel members, and started shooting a bunch of kids.
00:17:35.000Obama had no choice but to start shooting kids in the face.
00:17:37.000If the American government went to war with the cartels, you better believe family members will start dying.
00:17:43.000In the United States, you are making the argument that we should not criminally prosecute Obama because the extrajudicial assassination of an American citizen in a country we're not at war with is justified because that was the son of someone we were targeting in a different country.
00:18:00.000I think if you start prosecuting presidents for war crimes after every president would go to prison, and then they wouldn't be able to do their job, it's like telling a cop they can't get rough with the guy they're arresting.
00:18:11.000At some point you've got to let the president do war.
00:18:15.000I mean, it's the commander-in-chief of the military.
00:18:17.000You just want to let other people win the war?
00:18:21.000So, I don't know what Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki was doing that was helping these terrorists win any kind of war other than drinking coffee and having to have been related to a guy.
00:18:32.000No, man, they sent a message to the dad.
00:18:38.000Look, in war, there is a reason why we have, I think war crimes are a silly concept, right?
00:18:45.000Because it's like, if you're at war, you're trying to win.
00:18:46.000But there is a difference between tactics and retribution, you know?
00:18:52.000So like, if we were to, if the United States was like, we're gonna stop ISIS by any means necessary, and then they did a whole bunch of really messed up stuff, like napalming cities and stuff, I would be mad about that.
00:19:03.000I'd be like, dude, we need to stop ISIS.
00:19:05.000You know, doing this is too far, but I understand it's military.
00:19:10.000We're talking about Obama dropping bombs on civilians who we are not at war with.
00:19:18.000All that's going to do is make the war worse.
00:19:20.000Like if people are at war with us, and then you send in troops to a neighboring country and start executing kids, you are going to make more war and generate more enemies.
00:19:32.000I'm thinking about the Fallujah, the white phosphorus attack on Fallujah in 2003, where they use it as an illuminate because they were like, yeah, we're gonna light up the sky so we can see our targets, but really it melts human skin.
00:19:42.000So they just dropped white phosphorus all in the city of Fallujah and just melted all these civilian skin.
00:20:35.000I'm not going to hold that against Trump.
00:20:36.000Granted, there are some things I think Trump did that were bad that we need accountability for.
00:20:42.000I don't know if it goes as far as saying, like, Donald Trump pulled our troops, was pulling troops out of the Middle East, so he increased drone strikes to maintain control of the territory.
00:20:51.000I'm like, I don't blame him for that, I blame Obama for that.
00:20:54.000Not that I like it or anything, but Obama was like, blowing up kids.
00:20:58.000Now granted, there is the story of the commando raid in Yemen which resulted in the death of an eight-year-old American girl.
00:21:03.000That, if proven to be Trump's orders, then I believe Trump deserves prison for that as well.
00:21:08.000However, that story is still a bit of conjecture and we don't know.
00:21:12.000When it comes to Abdur Rahman al-Awlaki, this is reported far and wide by like every major media news source, and the family, and you know, so you take it for what it is.
00:21:21.000All that really matters is, you know what?
00:21:30.000You know, I've had a lot of libertarians, and I don't know how you feel about this Matt, tell me that Trump is the lesser of two evils, and I disagree.
00:21:36.000He crossed the DMZ into North Korea with no security detail.
00:21:39.000He helped negotiate the Abraham Accords.
00:22:32.000Not always, but mostly moving in the right direction.
00:22:35.000And, you know, he didn't get us out of Afghanistan, and I wish he would have succeeded at that, because the way Biden did it was a tragic shitshow, or I don't know if we're allowed to say shitshow.
00:22:56.000There's a congressman, Warren Davidson, who's been like a real hero saying, we've got to get our guys out no matter what.
00:23:04.000And I ask him, Is this just gross incompetence the way we got out of Afghanistan or was it purposeful?
00:23:10.000And he in a very political way said, I don't see how it can't have been purposeful so that the lesson is don't ever get out of anything ever again because it doesn't work.
00:23:23.000And you have to wonder why they would abandon Bagram Air Force Base without notifying security forces in the country, why they cut all air support logistics.
00:23:32.000Why they left all that equipment and didn't decommission it with nanothermite, like they didn't melt the machines before they just left it behind.
00:23:38.000And they were purposely blocking private efforts.
00:23:41.000They had transportation, they had people, and all the State Department had to say was, do it.
00:24:00.000We got this story from the Daily Mail.
00:24:02.000The West has brought humankind to the brink of nuclear Armageddon with its decision to use depleted uranium ammo in Ukraine, says Russia's U.S.
00:25:09.000They can now, as they are starting to do, use this as justification for the expansion into nuclear warfare.
00:25:15.000And this doesn't mean ICBMs, because people need to understand, I think the first thing we're gonna see is probably nuclear artillery.
00:25:21.000Which is, they're gonna load up a howitzer or some kind of artillery, they're gonna fire a nuclear shell with a decently large payload, it's not gonna be a megaton bomb or anything like that, but it's going to be massively devastating.
00:25:34.000These are very, very powerful weapons.
00:25:36.000So, the first They can argue nuclear war has already started with the use of armor-piercing depleted uranium.
00:25:53.000Yeah, this says here, depleted uranium, both regular uranium and depleted uranium, and their immediate decay products emit alpha and beta particles and a small amount of gamma radiation.
00:26:16.000The West escalates and uses low-yield missiles?
00:26:19.000I think there's also concern that the dust that's created by the depleted uranium is breathed in.
00:26:23.000A lot of it's really when it's in your body that can do a lot of damage.
00:26:26.000Um, what's happening is they build tanks out of armor that are created with depleted uranium because it's so dense you can't pierce it with a lot of weapons.
00:26:33.000So they need to make depleted uranium ammo in order to pierce the depleted uranium armor.
00:26:37.000And then the ammo ends up in the dust, in the dirt underneath your feet.
00:26:43.000This picture of how it works is really cool.
00:26:45.000This gigantic artillery shell, look at this.
00:26:47.000It's basically a gigantic cartridge, like a bullet, with a depleted uranium tail fin with a sabot around it, and then it fires, sabot disengages, and then rips through with a point.
00:26:59.000It's two times denser, it's nearly twice as dense as lead, that's why they use it.
00:27:03.000They say it's nearly unstoppable because of its density, so once it gets propelled, the inertia is just too powerful, it just rips through everything.
00:27:11.000I mean, that sounds pretty badass, to be honest.
00:27:19.000The reason they have, like, the Hague and the war crimes and things, because, like, if you annihilate a country with depleted uranium, you're making it unlivable, essentially.
00:27:26.000If the ground's peppered with depleted uranium, good luck growing crops and raising a family on top of that.
00:27:34.000I mean, it's definitely a heinous war crime in my opinion, but out of desperation and armored tanks that can't be penetrated, they've had no arguably other choice.
00:27:42.000I think we may see some kind of... I think World War III.
00:27:48.000I don't know how or when, but I think it for one reason.
00:27:51.000Because all of the oil-producing nations are teaming up.
00:27:55.000China is working these deals to do oil trade in yuan as opposed to the dollar.
00:28:00.000And the United States and NATO will never allow that.
00:28:06.000I kind of feel like military-industrial complex will be salivating at the thought of an opportunity to go to industrial-scale warfare or beyond.
00:28:16.000is going to be like, we're not going to let these countries do this.
00:28:18.000We will blow them up if we have to because we're not going to lose.
00:28:20.000Yeah, I think they would love to have another war, regardless of the consequences for people.
00:28:25.000But one of the most frustrating things about this is we're escalating while we're demilitarizing our ability to produce energy.
00:28:35.000And I actually have friends in Ukraine and in that whole area.
00:28:40.000My wife and I go speak to free market groups in all of these countries.
00:28:44.000And our point was, why aren't you guys producing energy?
00:28:49.000You're banning fracking, you're destroying your economies, and you've basically made yourself completely dependent on your enemy's sources of energy.
00:29:01.000And all of this green stuff, there's a Green Deal in Europe that It's already been implemented.
00:29:06.000This is the most destabilizing policy that empowers really bad guys.
00:29:16.000I think he is a criminal for invading Ukraine.
00:29:21.000But I also think that Ukraine is incredibly corrupt country.
00:29:25.000And I think the United States has no business in this because if you want to protect yourself from Russia, Do something for yourself, like clean up your own country, allow for the production of energy, and if you can't produce your own energy, allow for robust markets that allow you to buy the energy you need and not wait for Russia to shut off the pipeline.
00:29:53.000No, Ukraine doesn't do that, but Europe and particularly Germany and the UK and places like that.
00:30:00.000Well, I think it's because, you know, when I look at the internal conflict in the United States, I can only assume it is intentionally driven by our enemies, like the woke left.
00:30:11.000I look at what they believe in, what they're fighting for, and how insane it is, and how destructive it is, and how it is a major component in the victories for China, and I'm like, I kind of feel like they're doing it on purpose, like with TikTok, things like that.
00:30:25.000They talk about the Russian disinfo campaigns and all that stuff, and I'm like, well, we know China's been hacking and attacking us with cyber warfare for a long time.
00:30:33.000I wouldn't be surprised if a large component of the culture war Yeah.
00:30:37.000is intentionally driven, not... And they did talk about this with Russia. They said it
00:30:42.000wasn't necessarily intended to win an election, it was intended to sow division in the United
00:30:45.000States. I'm willing to bet China's doing that to a great degree. That's what TikTok is.
00:30:50.000I watched a video earlier where this woman was like, I am a bird. I am a bird. I am trapped
00:30:55.000in a human body. And like, that's the kind of thing that TikTok promotes. So if you have
00:31:00.000people in this country who are of sound mind saying, we cannot allow China to do the things
00:31:05.000they're doing to the Uighur Muslims, etc, etc. And then you're on a committee with one
00:31:09.000other person who goes, but I'm actually a bird. So I'd like to move this here to talk
00:31:14.000about what we're gonna do about bird rights. And you're gonna be like, what?
00:31:20.000China, the Chinese Communist Party knows we cannot function politically if half of our political system thinks they're animals or weird things and doesn't make any sense.
00:31:37.000is on the verge of civil war or in one, or if the Democratic Party is just their whole die-on-this-hill moment is removing the testicles of children, then it's just like, okay, I guess.
00:31:48.000Fortunately, I don't think the goal is to win.
00:32:20.000Against our common enemies, or in a way that allows me to continue doing the things I like.
00:32:23.000I think the problem is, you know, there are a lot of countries that feel morally compelled to insert themselves into issues and say, you can't live that way, or part of our doctrine is that we have to expand our power.
00:32:35.000I mean, it doesn't have the isolationist boundaries that maybe we would like it to.
00:32:40.000If we could just all stay within our own countries and, you know, cooperate when necessary, it might be a different tale.
00:32:45.000But geopolitical I think there's a bunch of bad actors, but I'm not as afraid of Russia and China.
00:32:52.000I think their economies are a house of cards as well.
00:32:54.000And my argument is, if we would get our house in order, if our allies would get our house in order, we would not be vulnerable to their shenanigans because they don't have the resources to do what they do.
00:33:07.000And I could quote Michael Malice's new Right.
00:33:44.000I think banning it's not right at first because then it would lead to someone banning Twitter and you don't want to start banning companies from the States.
00:33:57.000It's got to be like, and Elon might save us, and I'd hate to put all of our eggs in one billionaire's basket, but the solution to TikTok is an alternative that's not nuts, that's not manipulative, that allows the things we like, speech and argument and all the things that America is built on.
00:34:18.000Who are you going to vote for in 2024?
00:36:12.000If he gets closer, they're just going to say, you know what, you need 20% of the polls to be on the stage.
00:36:17.000But the point is, with all of these platforms, how many times do we have to point out that Joe Rogan is bigger than all three networks right before an election combined?
00:36:30.000And point out that if we want to have that conversation outside of corporate media, we can do that now.
00:36:36.000Yeah, and I also think that if Joe Rogan ran for president, he'd probably win.
00:36:44.000I think a lot of people would, because he's like, you listen to him and he's talking about cultural issues which the right agrees with, but he's still somewhat of a moderate lefty kind of guy, so you kind of get a compromise, but he's just so popular.
00:36:58.000I'm not saying he's going to run or he should run, I'm just saying that kind of personal connection and gravitas is what you need.
00:37:08.000I think Trump's got a lot of bad about him, but I view him as a slight net positive, mostly on foreign policy.
00:37:14.000I don't completely blame him for the lockdowns.
00:37:16.000I somewhat blame him for the lockdowns.
00:37:18.000I think he surrounded himself with really bad people.
00:37:21.000I'm also thinking now, You know what, man?
00:37:25.000I'm willing to get him in the next four years if we can see more of that foreign policy.
00:37:30.000If it's more of secure our borders, bring jobs back here and get our troops out of these other countries, make NATO pay its fair share.
00:37:35.000All right, well, you know, then I'll take what we get domestically, but I think the economy will be good and I think he'll do a better job.
00:39:09.000The argument is, not just in Kerry Lake's case, but in Trump as well, the argument is, too many signatures got accepted that should not have.
00:39:19.000That many of these probably didn't match, but they were letting them through anyway.
00:39:22.000When Carrie Lake sued, they said, this is a procedure question and you should have sued before the election.
00:39:29.000Well, now the Appellate Supreme Court has said, no, how would she sue unless there was something done that she can sue over, go back and redo this.
00:39:39.000For all we know, the lower court just kicks it out again.
00:39:42.000But it's entirely possible that they're forced to take it up.
00:39:45.000The issue with Carrie Lake and with anyone involved in this is that every single person in politics save like, I don't know, five, ten people.
00:40:26.000So what I guess I would say is, you know, aside from this story, I feel like a big thing that's being revealed right now is just how cowardly so much of our society and government is.
00:42:48.000And it's like, but they took something.
00:42:49.000You're trying to frame it as, you know, she's this crazy wacko, but don't worry, she's being subdued.
00:42:54.000And really, you know, the issues that matter and the ones that could make a difference are being moved forward.
00:43:00.000I think a lot of the cowardice in politics comes from people being able to communicate from behind a keyboard and a computer in a locked room.
00:43:06.000Like, a lot of the stuff people say to each other in social media, they would never say to each other face-to-face.
00:43:12.000Look, man, the DeSantis response to the Trump indictment stuff was like getting a bucket of water splashed in the face.
00:46:52.000And I think he's substantially better than anything anyone else has to offer.
00:46:56.000But I understand why people like Trump, because Trump... You know, this is the thing why I said before that DeSantis might be a good VP is because DeSantis has what Trump doesn't.
00:47:30.000I think it's tough to say what would have happened, should have, whatever, but I think if DeSantis had been president when COVID struck that he wouldn't have let Fauci run the show.
00:47:40.000I mean, he knows how to use the system.
00:47:43.000He used his state of emergency in Florida and he held it open so that he could reposition funds to make sure that schools couldn't close down.
00:47:51.000So it was like, yeah, he knew that this COVID crap was an emergency and it was making kids get masked when they were two and three.
00:47:56.000So he's like, no, the emergency is that kids are getting masked up at four years old.
00:48:00.000I'm not going to let that happen to kids.
00:49:18.000It shouldn't be hard to... Look, Donald Trump gets on stage, and he calls you names, and then you look at how the rest of the GOP handled it in 2016, and it was hilarious.
00:49:29.000They could not handle, they didn't know what to do!
00:49:33.000It's funny, I'm like, you need somebody who can actually stand toe-to-toe with Trump and fire back in the same way.
00:49:39.000I don't know who could possibly do it.
00:49:42.000To be fair, the Democrats don't have one either.
00:49:44.000I mean, there's no one politically in America, I mean, unless the Libertarians are fielding someone I don't know about, there's no one who could take on Trump.
00:50:39.000I don't think that the old tactic of like, I'm the outsider isn't where he's not the outsider, he's the front runner.
00:50:45.000So he needs to play like I'm already the winner.
00:50:48.000And when I win again, this is how I'm going to change the world.
00:50:51.000Unless I see a mission and a meaning to it, I have no interest in playing party politics or identity.
00:50:58.000Not to be one note, Johnny, I still think that the lockdowns and his relentless advocacy for vaccines as the thing that he did, I think that's his Achilles heel.
00:51:09.000And I think as this goes on and all of the economic damage and all of the damage caused particularly to young people by vaccines becomes more apparent.
00:52:02.000So that's why I'm saying, like, Trump has the attitude, but then there's a question of, is he going to step up this time, see what he did wrong, and fix it?
00:52:10.000Or should we just be like, look, we got a real opportunity with DeSantis on this one.
00:55:14.000I'm sort of joking about a sitting president arresting former presidents.
00:55:19.000That feels a little bit banana republic to me.
00:55:21.000I'd love that there was a more objective standard of justice.
00:55:26.000But our point stands, these guys committed crimes, and we shouldn't just sweep it under the rug.
00:55:32.000I want to clarify, too, about Trump when I said his horrible domestic policy.
00:55:36.000The tweets, the division, but also the COVID stuff, man.
00:55:39.000That just, like, hands-off, let the dog bite kind of thing with Fauci, just let him go nuts with Jen.
00:55:45.000He didn't deploy military to stop riots.
00:55:49.000He didn't let people riot and burn buildings.
00:55:52.000I mean if you think about that summer of 2020 and everything that happened like all of the businesses that were already suffering under the code mandates that then suffered even more and he didn't intervene it's hard not to forget that that final year of his presidency was really rough for him.
00:56:07.000I think he did do a lot of great in the first three but Is that enough to balance out the final year?
00:56:13.000I'm also kind of just like, I want to see Trump finish off what he wants to do.
00:56:20.000I want to see him just have a crack at it.
00:56:22.000I don't know if that's meaningless, like there's nothing really behind the idea, but there's
00:56:26.000like an emotional part of me that's like, we just got to get, you know, Trump's got
00:56:31.000to go in and then finish what he started, whatever that was supposed to be.
00:58:20.000Because they have a modernized version of that new tech that was built.
00:58:23.000If we're going to bring back these industries to the United States by easing on environmental regulations, yes, there's a risk of pollution.
00:58:30.000However, We can set new leases for developing in areas like Alaska, which I believe is being tremendously wasted.
00:58:37.000I'm sure a lot of Alaskans would love to have the development to improve their lives.
00:58:41.000And when we build these factories, we build these developments, we can build them with modern versions of technology, which mitigates for a lot of the pollution and helps facilitate it away.
00:58:50.000Yeah, we could rebuild the railroads with graphene instead of iron or whatever, steel, that warping, bending metal, something that's stronger because a lot of the problem with industrialization is the transportation of the materials.
00:59:16.000I think the issue with Maglev is they have to be in cities with high power, whereas if we're going across countryside, you just want a car or something.
00:59:25.000But yeah, we can build better, faster trains.
00:59:27.000And we can build better infrastructure and build all these things.
00:59:30.000The reason that Donald Trump wanted to ease environmental regulations was to bring companies back from China.
00:59:36.000What happens is, and it's very obvious, the United States imposes environmental regulations, increasing the cost for a business to operate.
00:59:43.000They then increase the taxes on that business.
01:00:03.000So when the Democrats got in, people are wondering, like, what did Joe Biden do that was so bad for the economy?
01:00:07.000Well, uh, increased environmental regulations, increased corporate taxes, and decreased tariffs, resulting in companies fleeing the country and shipping the products back, stripping jobs away from Americans, and extracting the value from our economy and destroying the country.
01:00:38.000If Thomas Massie was here, he'd point out all of the, quote-unquote, dirty industry that's involved with making clean energy.
01:00:47.000And then there's the whole question of World War 3.
01:00:50.000Maybe we should actually produce more oil and gas in this country and maybe our allies should as well so that we don't end in a nuclear winter because that's dirty too.
01:01:05.000If you have a huge trade network with your neighboring country, you've got eight trade routes, you're getting your iron from them, you're getting your horses from them, you've got most of your income from them.
01:01:14.000If they go to war with you, it all goes to zero.
01:01:54.000And so I had this massive expansion and growth.
01:01:56.000Then when we got to this technological level, all of a sudden, the underdeveloped neighboring country that stole my technology with spies had tons of uranium and started building nukes.
01:02:12.000We're gonna go to war, and they've got this stuff, so what do you do?
01:02:15.000Well, I mean, hope you don't go to war, and then you do, and then you're fighting, and they have uranium, and you can't, so you can't build these weapons, they can.
01:02:22.000You gotta go seize that city that's got access to it, so you can build them, and they can't.
01:03:34.000Yeah, there's a bunch of cops walking with the protesters.
01:03:37.000I saw a picture of Macron with his face palming, because it's been going on for months now or something like that.
01:03:43.000Brutal widespread riots across France.
01:03:46.000I mean, he survived a no-confidence vote, but the people do not like it, right?
01:03:50.000The legislature allowed his government to stay in place, but he has really upset the people of France with his retirement plan issues.
01:03:59.000I mean, I think... This game sounds really fascinating, and I don't think I've ever played it before, but I do think that When we talk about TikTok and we talk about kind of the American acceptance of what's going on with Ukraine or our involvement in it, a lot of that has to do with long-form cultural warfare that's been going on for a long time.
01:04:16.000I think America thinks of itself as the leading exporter of culture in the world and that's just not true at this point and I think largely that is because of the internet.
01:04:26.000Other countries can take some of our culture but also maintain their own, right?
01:04:29.000So we saw this, there were a couple times that, you know, there are movies that China is rejecting that typically they'd let in or they are seeing their own original content outperform imported American movies and that's because they are prioritizing their own culture.
01:04:45.000I think the way that we saw people sort of readily adopt
01:04:49.000the Ukraine flag out of this understanding that like we should be helping them
01:04:55.000is sort of this idea that we are the global citizens, this cultural war that we have put on our own people.
01:05:02.000No, so I'm not a cultural warrior, but I think that culture is everything.
01:05:07.000And so I tend to be sort of blue sky optimistic about letting people free to figure this stuff out.
01:05:16.000And so I worry less about the fact that China is manipulating us or that Russia is manipulating us and that free people have a natural ability to figure stuff out.
01:05:27.000Do you think that American, like the youth in America, is truly free?
01:05:33.000And I only ask in the context of, you know, the algorithm on TikTok, we hear about it all the time, and I sound vaguely afraid of technology, but, you know, there is the idea that the youth in America are being fed content that is meant to psychologically disrupt them, right?
01:05:48.000To encourage anxiety, to push other kind of You know, negative experiences and emotions, so therefore they are completely consumed by basically collapsing in on themselves while Chinese teens are being encouraged to pursue STEM and other things.
01:06:05.000Like, are you truly free if you have this technological disruptor coming through?
01:06:11.000Well, you're still free, but the phenomenon of a herd mentality and most people just sort of following the leader is not a new thing, and it's not caused by technology.
01:06:22.000And most of cultural change and most of cultural development comes from those cultural entrepreneurs that speak up and say, you know what, let's do it a different way.
01:06:32.000So I still have confidence in those young people that are thinking, because that's what
01:07:16.000Hannah Arensman says, I have decided to end my cycling career.
01:07:21.000At my last race at the recent UCI Cyclocross National Championships in the elite women's category, I came in fourth place, flanked on either side by male riders.
01:07:33.000My sister and family sobbed as they watched a man finish in front of me, having witnessed several physical interactions with him throughout the race."
01:07:41.000So, this is, this is, the photo is the woman crying as she's quitting because she was denied the podium by a male athlete.
01:07:49.000There's another story where another male has won, I think, like 15 races?
01:07:53.000Like 15 of 15 or some ridiculous number?
01:08:44.000I ran track in high school, so it's a sport I care a lot about, but there are, there was a group of track athletes in Connecticut that were some of the first to file a lawsuit and say, you can't let male, biologically male athletes compete with us because it does take away our right to compete in a sport.
01:09:02.000Like you are flying in the face of something that theoretically feminism fought for.
01:09:06.000And those two males were not undergoing hormone therapy or anything like that.
01:09:10.000They were just males who were like, I want to compete against the females because I'm
01:09:37.000And especially if we're supposed to treat biological men who identify as women the same way, then you are literally giving away spots on teams and educational dollars to them when these girls have trained for so long to get to that place.
01:09:53.000I mean, it seems like, to me, it seems like common sense, but I understand our culture has created a different narrative around this.
01:09:59.000Well, I feel like, you know, Matt was saying, the insanity is starting to be pushed back against.
01:10:04.000I think we're starting to win on this front.
01:10:11.000One was when Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks agreed with Bernie Sanders saying, we want equality of opportunity, not outcome.
01:10:17.000That's like, okay, welcome back to the mix.
01:10:19.000And then we have, I think I have the tweet right here.
01:10:22.000Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks tweeted, I'm a woman, please don't ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates.
01:10:30.000How do people not realize how degrading this is?
01:10:32.000You can support the transgender community without doing this-ish.
01:10:36.000And of course she got ripped to shreds, the left went after her and started screaming at her and insulting her.
01:10:40.000They're calling them the Young Turfs now instead of the Young Turks.
01:11:08.000And then I just saw Sam Seder went on value attainment.
01:11:11.000So it's like people that you would consider from the left and the right are coming together to talk.
01:11:15.000I think a lot of it's because of this banking fiasco, you know, the economy hitting its breaking point.
01:11:20.000People are like, what choice do I have at this point?
01:11:22.000I think there have probably always been people who say, like, hey, this is something that we should not, we should not pursue.
01:11:28.000So because it's Women History Month, I've been writing about anti-feminists.
01:11:31.000And this week I published a profile of Camille Paglia, which I'm definitely pronouncing her name wrong, but she is an academic at University of Arts in Philadelphia.
01:11:40.000And she gets this reputation of being, you're nodding your head, of being the anti-feminist feminist.
01:11:45.000She said, you know, I was a feminist in the 1960s and we fought for our rights to be free.
01:11:49.000We fought so that we wouldn't have to have curfews in college dorms.
01:11:52.000We could risk the right to be raped and attacked on campus because we wanted the right to take
01:11:57.000care of ourselves and not be in the protection of men or whatever else.
01:12:01.000And one of the things that she has gotten in trouble for in more recent years is saying,
01:12:06.000you know, you guys should pay attention to biology.
01:12:09.000You guys seem really interested in science, except for when it applies to this issue.
01:12:12.000And she says, you know, you can't, your biology says you can't just suddenly decide you're a different gender.
01:12:17.000And this has ousted her from the feminist community.
01:12:20.000I mean, she still identifies as a feminist, but feminists don't want her there, even though she's one of the most noted academics in this ideology.
01:12:28.000She's the most legit feminist out there, and my wife and I have this fantastic argument, and I always lose arguments with my wife, but I consider myself a radical feminist, and I see the comments are gonna freak out here.
01:12:39.000My wife considers herself an anti-feminist because we both believe in really strong women that have the right to determine their own destiny, and that's what feminism used to be about.
01:12:52.000My childhood intellectual hero was a woman, Ayn Rand.
01:12:55.000She turned me on to a lot of these ideas, And she was a badass who fled the Soviet Union after her father's business was stolen when she was still a teenager.
01:13:07.000And she ended up in Hollywood as a scriptwriter.
01:13:52.000Not because I want them to suffer, or because I'm trying to be mean, but because they need to free themselves from the shackle of this cult.
01:13:58.000And if they no longer have any incentive to try and please these people, and it seems like they're already shaking that off, maybe they'll stop pushing a lot of that garbage.
01:14:18.000So, I do think the main issue with the Young Turks is that they're duplicitous.
01:14:22.000You know, I can respect her making the statement, but they make fake videos about me and other people all the time, so it's not like I expect them to ever be good people or anything like that, but I'll give them credit where credit is due.
01:14:31.000We need to make these gains in the culture war and take what we can get when we can get it.
01:14:35.000So, I don't know, I thought The Young Turfs was really funny.
01:14:59.000I feel like there are so many men, conservative men that I know who are advocates for strong, capable women, and they believe that women are completely capable.
01:16:56.000You're still, even if you identify as a shoe, you're still a human.
01:16:59.000But this is like where the concept of deadnaming comes in, right?
01:17:02.000Like if someone says, you know, now that I have accepted this identity and I believe I'm supposed to be like this, you should never refer to me and even reference, I don't want to see pictures of this person I was before.
01:17:12.000I mean, they do feel as though they can completely leave behind, you know, this part of themselves.
01:18:24.000And you have to be a woman to be a trans man.
01:18:27.000So they're playing with definitions, I think, for legal reasons.
01:18:30.000Because if they can get the culture to start arguing that woman includes males, it changes civil rights law.
01:18:39.000And then you see these like Pete guys beating women in races and things like I understand.
01:18:43.000I want to project that future because it looks like people are waking up and kind of acknowledging how dirty it is for a guy to be like, I feel like a woman and I'm going to take your trophy lady.
01:19:56.000We've been trying to put a skate show together for a long time, but we need the new facility to be built, and it got delayed for so long that we were planning on having the show started like seven months ago.
01:20:06.000But now the building's nearing completion, so we may actually get that ball rolling.
01:20:10.000And then we have some other Pro Skateboarders in mind who are going to co-host the show.
01:20:14.000But I'm just like, we've got to provide support to people who are doing the right thing standing up.
01:20:22.000She's super nice, you know, super chill, and just said, hey, it's not okay that, like, I would have got first place and made more money, but now it's being taken away from me.
01:20:30.000So we did this thing where I wrote her a check, and we did, like, a big fake check saying, like, here's the difference, here's what you would have won, and we paid that.
01:20:38.000And then offered her a job and said, you know, why don't you host the skate show once we get it going?
01:20:59.000We're going to do poker with the boys.
01:21:00.000Poker with the boys I am most excited about.
01:21:02.000That's going to be the best show ever.
01:21:04.000Because during the Members Only show the other night when we had Troy Nails on, Congressman, someone suggested, like, members of Congress need to do these things like AOC did with playing Among Us on Twitch and getting all these viewers.
01:21:20.000Well, I don't think it makes sense for, like, you know, a late 50s or 50s-ish, you know, member of Congress guy to be, like, playing a video game with some kids.
01:21:28.000But you get a Matt Gaetz, a Troy Nails, and, like, a Lauren Boebert playing a game of poker with a bunch of people, and they're talking smack, and that's the kind of thing that's personable and relatable and culture-building.
01:21:57.000Perfect opportunity for a good person who has good principles and the courage to speak up to be given an opportunity.
01:22:03.000So let's make sure the people who are speaking up don't have that fear where it's like, this woman, Hannah Arendsman, She's ending her career, her cycling career.
01:22:25.000I mean, especially in this case, I feel like she is officially ending her career, but her career is also being ended for her, right?
01:22:31.000If you're a competitive athlete like this, I mean, there must be a prize associated with each level.
01:22:35.000So if you can't place first, second, or third, then you are missing the potentially large payout that you need to fund the training and everything else that goes into this career.
01:22:45.000And the sponsorships that go with placing top three.
01:22:47.000should go with that. I mean, I can't imagine that these brands are like, oh, I'll sponsor
01:22:51.000number four, the one who consistently comes in fourth. But it's sort of, you know, a rigged
01:22:56.000game. She's being forced out of this income that she's built for herself, which, of course,
01:23:01.000as an athlete, there's a clock on that anyway. You can't necessarily compete forever. It's
01:23:22.000There's this lie among the left where they're like, there's no advantage to being male in sports, then why are the females competing against males?
01:23:38.000And the problem I see with this, if I'm gonna go into a committee hearing and be like, as a member of this committee, I cast my vote to say, obviously males will have physical advantages over females.
01:23:50.000And then the other guy sitting across from me goes, no they don't, I vote against you.
01:23:53.000And I'm like, okay, this is not democracy.
01:24:21.000But most of the people in Congress are way more sane than a lot of the crazy stuff I'm seeing on the internet.
01:24:28.000I don't see, like, crazy... I don't want to start blaming people.
01:24:30.000I just want to see what happens with Gen Z, right?
01:24:32.000Like, I am so fascinated because theoretically they are marginally more conservative than generations before them, but also 15% 1 in 6 identify as LGBTQ, I guess.
01:24:45.000So they're kind of divided among themselves.
01:24:47.000It seems like they are drifting in in tons of directions.
01:24:49.000Although I feel like we talk about this a little bit, like there are things that I think our generation feels differently about.
01:24:56.000Like we there are a lot of millennials who feel more social liberal.
01:25:00.000They take a fiscal conservative approach.
01:25:01.000Like they are not as rigid in their political stances as generations before them.
01:25:07.000I think Gen Z is going to be hard to predict in that sense because we feel like someone will stand, like you were saying before, someone will come to the surface and say like, hey, let's not do this anymore.
01:25:15.000But I feel like there are enough components of that generation that believe really, really intensely in the dogma of what they're being taught.
01:25:24.000They're always trying to figure out who they are and where they belong.
01:25:29.000And not everybody's going to take the lead in figuring it out.
01:25:32.000And it's going to be someone that they respect from their generation that steps out and maybe they quit cycling because of something insane.
01:25:42.000And that becomes a defining moment in their sort of figuring out where they belong.
01:25:48.000And I just have a lot of confidence in people.
01:27:19.000I think if people could represent themselves a little easier, because the whole purpose of sending a representative was so that they could represent you more effectively than you could represent yourself.
01:27:27.000But now with the Internet, you have an opportunity to throw up an Internet video and that's full representation of who I am.
01:27:31.000Wouldn't a step in that direction just be returning more power to the states, right?
01:27:36.000Because then you're being represented on a smaller level.
01:27:38.000I mean, right now, Tim is totally right.
01:27:42.000For each member of Congress, really, there's a huge number of people they're representing in the US.
01:27:46.000If you were to give them equal representation on a federal level, you'd make Congress even bigger.
01:28:05.000So when we have woke people who are like filibustering this woman in Nebraska, demanding, demanding
01:28:12.000the legal right to castrate children, it's like, okay, how far do we want to go with
01:28:21.000And how far does her decision-making powers go in this country?
01:28:24.000Are we talking about she can only affect her local jurisdiction?
01:28:27.000Then the question is, if I live in West Virginia and I hear that in Ohio, but to the hundreds, to the thousands, they're giving young girls mastectomies and sterilizing them, do we just go, well, you know, I don't know, that's Ohio.
01:28:41.000We're not going to get involved in that.
01:28:43.000Or do we say like, hey, we got to stop that.
01:28:46.000So I always lean towards making sure that parents have more rights.
01:28:53.000And when I see school districts, which are government entities, when I see state politics or local politics intervene in that relationship, where a lot of this stuff is coming from, I think that's the cancer that needs to be wiped out.
01:29:06.000And I think parents have to have that responsibility.
01:29:09.000I'm not saying that parents will get it right every time.
01:29:15.000But I trust parents more than politicians, and I absolutely trust parents more than these interest groups that are feeding off of this system.
01:29:24.000There's huge financial benefits to all of these therapies and drugs and treatments.
01:29:32.000That's all intertwined with government.
01:29:35.000And if we're going to unwind that, we have to shift power back to parents, power back to people,
01:29:40.000power back to communities to judge parents who aren't doing a good job.
01:29:43.000But who gets to define what a good job is, right?
01:29:47.000So the challenge is there's two arguments.
01:29:51.000The left argument is not cutting off the child's testicles is genocide.
01:29:59.000They genuinely believe, or at least they presume to believe, that they're saving children's lives.
01:30:07.000Well, by that argument, they're preventing a genocide.
01:30:10.000You're going to have a community of people be like, we're all here in agreement preventing genocide is bad, therefore we're going to sterilize a bunch of kids.
01:30:16.000I mean, I think that view's insane, and I think that parents would reject it.
01:30:21.000But we're watching in California the embracing of it en masse.
01:31:38.000The system we have now is supposed to have a federal government which protects rights.
01:31:41.000And if we have a shared and cohesive morality, you do not allow a parent to do, to jazz what that woman is doing to that poor, poor human being.
01:31:51.000For those who are not familiar with the story, it's a viral clip.
01:31:54.000Of Jazz Jennings' mother saying she wakes Jazz up in the middle of the night, grabs a dilator, lubricates it, and says, stick this in or I will.
01:32:02.000I mean, that's the most hor- it's horrifying.
01:32:03.000And then she even says, if she goes off to college and doesn't do this, I'll wring her neck.
01:32:11.000But among that community, they believe they're in the right.
01:32:14.000I believe the state should stop these insane people from committing what I believe... I mean, look, if an adult human being makes a decision to get surgeries and do whatever, I'm like, okay, well, you know, that's your life, right?
01:32:27.000You want to look like a cat and get implants in your face?
01:32:30.000But this child's been, in my view, tortured their whole life.
01:33:03.000I think that's a challenge for me with libertarianism, where you make this argument that parents have the final say in the health care of their children.
01:33:11.000And it's like, OK, well, this lady thinks health care is cutting off her daughter's tits.
01:33:19.000And if we send in federal authorities to stop them, they'll scream civil war.
01:33:23.000So that's why I'm like, I don't know what the solution to this is.
01:33:25.000It's a dilemma because some parents are going to get it horribly wrong.
01:33:30.000And my question is, if we say that the state is in charge of protecting children, what if the crazies get to write the laws that start mandating these kinds of things?
01:33:44.000This is a conversation that, when I got really interested in libertarianism, it was when I was interested in, I thought I was going to go into foster care and work on adoption law.
01:33:52.000Because there are all times that we agree there are children who are in incredibly dangerous situations with parents who are not fit to take care of them.
01:34:00.000Because if you believe in limited to no government, how do you also protect these children?
01:34:06.000And it was some this crux that I never got a clear answer on.
01:34:09.000I hate to say that because again with with transgenderism it's a little bit different because people feel as though they are doing what's right as opposed to like Yeah, you know, more obvious, we can all agree this is complete and total abuse.
01:34:26.000Yeah, I mean, before there was a welfare state, there were churches and other social institutions that emerged to help solve these problems.
01:34:35.000And there is absolutely no perfect solution to a broken family.
01:34:39.000I know it's terrible because the thing is like you want to believe that a community organization whether it's run by just the people of that community or their religious group could also protect them but ultimately we know that's not always the case and it just feels like especially when you talk about young children it's such a gamble and there's not a lot of time you can't really Say, oh, we'll try it with something with this batch, and then we'll see if we get it right the next time, because you're obviously right.
01:35:01.000I just think that you're always better off with local peer pressure and community institutions making sure that children are okay.
01:35:11.000The further away you get from that child, all the way up to Washington, D.C., or, you know, God help us, some global thing that's going to emerge, they don't give a damn about that kid.
01:35:23.000What about marketing like corporations?
01:35:35.000I mean, a corporation can't make you do what they want you to do unless they happen to be a pharmaceutical company that cuts a deal with the government to force you to take their product.
01:35:44.000Or like show a kid cartoons of a guy eating sugar when they're one.
01:35:48.000And then I guess it's up to the parent not to put the kid in front of the television to get indoctrinated by the corporation to buy their product.
01:35:54.000Or stop the food industrial complex from hijacking the government nutrition standards.
01:36:00.000Again, I'll always go back to some corruption where big corporations get in bed with big business, they buy access, and they force you to do things that you didn't want to do.
01:36:18.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show if you really do like it because word of mouth is one of the most powerful things you can do to help, and go to TimCast.com, become a member by clicking join us, then join our Discord server, And if you get into the VIP chat, you can submit questions for our call-in segment, which happens in the members-only portion.
01:36:41.000At around 10.10 p.m., the uncensored show will go live.
01:38:40.000And you got people like Biden who are in on it.
01:38:44.000Noa Yelverton says, Tim won't read this, but I just wanted to say I agree with him that the terms left and right don't work anymore, but I think it's because people can't agree on what left wing and right wing is.
01:39:00.000It doesn't matter what they agree on what it is, it matters what it is.
01:39:03.000And the left and the right are tribal team names, that's it.
01:39:08.000It doesn't mean anything about your policies, it just means which team are you on.
01:39:11.000So when people are like, liberal and left, it's like, well, all that really means is team name.
01:39:16.000I think we should call them like, the Screeching Weasels, and we can be the Freedom Faction.
01:39:52.000Hamhawk says, Tim, I spent 10 years as a promoter, booker, and talent buyer in my region, put on lots of concerts, and even some small festivals.
01:39:58.000Would love to be a part of Trash House.
01:40:16.000When you think about wearing something, what is your first thought?
01:40:19.000Well, I like big, oversized t-shirts, and then Carter and I were talking about tie-dying them or doing different stuff so they're more custom.
01:40:25.000Amos Moses says, how far in is Hannah Clare in the Fast and Furious?
01:40:55.000They went completely in the wrong direction.
01:40:56.000I'm really disappointed because they had the last one with Charlie's Throne and like, you know, it's the submarine and going to outer space and all that stuff.
01:41:58.000One is like the Joker drugs him and he kills Lois or something like that and then Superman's like, If only, you know, like, you let me kill him or whatever, and then he goes nuts, and then he just starts killing all of the, like, there's great story arcs.
01:42:09.000And they couldn't make a movie series.
01:42:56.000Because then what happens is they get tapped as like a crack team of, you know, special agents to get the job done.
01:43:02.000And then, you know, The Rock is like, we need your help.
01:43:05.000And then, you know, then you got Shaw, who's like this bad guy, Jason Statham, but then he becomes a good guy or whatever, and then his sister or something, and Charlie's Throne.
01:43:13.000Like they're getting all these celebrities in it.
01:43:15.000It's like better than the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
01:43:18.000I want Transformer crossover or superpowers?
01:44:06.000By the way, it shouldn't be a president.
01:44:08.000It should be freaking Congress, which has the responsibility of declaring war and has the responsibility for holding the executive branch in check.
01:44:17.000It should be done that way, but they will never do it.
01:44:19.000And Ian, ThatOneGamer says Anwar was killed September 30th, 2011.
01:44:23.000Abdulrahman was killed October 14th, 2011.
01:44:26.000Anwar was already dead for almost a month.
01:44:32.000I appreciate the super chat with the negative one, because it's a it's a hard thing to talk about, like whether a president should have the ability to just drone strike random people around the around the earth.
01:48:20.000I've heard good things, but I think he's a, I'm pretty sure he had a bad track record during the Trump administration, but I have to look into it because I'm willing to review these things.
01:48:33.000I've had a bunch of people, because he switched from Republican to Libertarian, so I've had Libertarian people tell me that it's actually good and to take a look.
01:48:40.000But the only thing I really remember from his tenure was that he was like, never Trumper.
01:48:52.000But I like Dave Smith, and Dave Smith's been, you know, against Trump for a long time, but I can respect someone who's got that position, so, you know, I'm willing to take a look into Amash's arguments.
01:49:00.000I think Justin was one of the first to adopt minds when we built the website.
01:49:07.000He was in something very early where I realized he was, like, red-pilled and awake as to what was going on, like, in 2011 or 2013 or something.
01:49:14.000I'd love to interview him and talk to him.
01:49:16.000He'd be interesting to have on, and he was absolutely anti-Trump as a member of Congress, but he has a long career before that, so if that one thing is a deal killer for you, it's worth looking at what he's willing to do.
01:49:35.000Like, Luke rags on Trump all the time.
01:49:38.000I don't care if people aren't mad about Trump.
01:49:39.000I just care that they have real arguments behind why they're mad about Trump.
01:49:42.000And so, Dave, we had a discussion about foreign policy and all that stuff, and he's right about a lot of it, and I'm like, I can respect that, absolutely.
01:49:48.000I just have a slightly different opinion.
01:49:50.000Like, if we got a leftist to come in here, like, we're having Destiny on the show next week, and I'm a big fan, I think he's a good dude.
01:50:05.000And I think what a lot of people don't understand is, like, If he comes in here and he's like, well, don't you think X, Y, and Z about transgender surgeries?
01:51:13.000And he has reasons behind them, he's explained them in great detail, and I've argued with him and I got really angry, but, like, that's fine.
01:51:19.000Well, you want the diversity of thought.
01:51:20.000Like, if he is reasonable and well-informed, even if you don't agree with him, it's better to have him talking than to just have people saying, like, oh, yeah, I agree with you.
01:53:43.000I didn't realize that's what I was doing, but after it started to happen, I realized it kind of gave me strength of character.
01:53:49.000Clef the Misfit says, how the hell can you say DeSantis is weak when he smacked down Biden, Fauci, Disney, Teachers' Unions, and the Florida GOP establishment, taking near king-like control of the state?
01:53:59.000We need Luke back to set you straight, Tim.
01:55:36.000Because he was saying like we shouldn't be involved and then the media attacked him for it and then he came back like, oh, they're misinterpreting what I'm saying or something like that.
01:55:44.000Michelle Corley says DeSantis sold out to rhinos.
01:56:18.000What I'm reading about is he referred to it as a territorial dispute, and then now he's maybe walking that, that he's walking back that characterization.
01:56:26.000So in the beginning it sounds like he saw it, kind of like I do, which is that the Russian Federation is attempting to colonize Crimea and take roads into Sevastopol, the Donbass, because they want that trade port in the Mediterranean, territorial.
01:57:28.000Yeah, like, you can take any federal employee and then completely isolate them from every position, and then within a month, they're terminated.
01:58:19.000But do you think it's like a path that we should head towards?
01:58:21.000It's too dangerous for people to have that?
01:58:23.000Um, I don't know, but I would love to have an environment where that sort of entrepreneurial innovation was allowed to happen and, and let science and entrepreneurs figure that stuff out.
01:59:05.000Because I mentioned, like, the purpose of the $25 level to get access to the VIP room, or six months, is because we don't want to make people spend more money to get access, but we also need a way to control for bad actors who are going to try and come in and screw things up and get us banned.
01:59:19.000And that's a reality no matter what we do, but for the voice chat, we have to be a bit more strict.
01:59:23.000But what we're going to do is we're going to create what we're calling, I guess, like the Silver Lounge, which is if you pay $25, not only do you get access to the VIP chat room for Collins, but you will get a special $25 level Because otherwise it's just like, what are you really getting for the money other than, you know, and then after six months you can reduce your membership now that you're, you know, you've passed that gate or whatever.
01:59:43.000Then with the Elite Club, this is the more costly social club element we're building out.
01:59:49.000It's a hundred bucks a month for this room, but we're giving people access to testing out apps and games.
01:59:55.000Early access to the stuff we're working on.
01:59:56.000So you're basically, like, in the club.
01:59:59.000So when we are, like, working on song stuff, like, we maybe will, like, here's a part of a new song we're working on.
02:00:04.000You'll get direct access to all the internal stuff we're working on, like, top secret stuff.
02:00:08.000And that one is a combination of we want to build, like, a social club and a physical space that comes with the coffee shop we're building.
02:00:13.000And we also need to be able to trust a certain level of trust that, like, hey, if we share with you, like, something you don't You know, leak it, or whatever.
02:00:22.000Like, here's a new song we're working on, and all of a sudden it ends up on the internet, or whatever.
02:00:25.000Yeah, because tonight I want to play Bright Eyes on the after show, but it's just a little premature, and it's coming out at midnight.
02:00:32.000Maybe it'd be cool to show... We'll play it for the Elite Discord.
02:00:36.000We'll put it in there somehow or something.
02:00:38.000The Elite members will get to listen to the song tonight.
02:00:40.000Alright everybody, if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and become a member by going to TimCast.com, clicking join us, getting on the Discord, and then we're gonna have that members-only uncensored show coming up in about 10 minutes, where we will take your calls.
02:01:14.000But the last three songs have all got on Billboard, so we're three for three.
02:01:18.000It'll be awesome if we're four for four and we keep rubbing their faces in it.
02:01:20.000Because when we send out emails being like, hey, new song was released, we actually got some of these corporate press outlets saying, F you.
02:01:27.000Like, literally, like, screw you, F off.
02:01:32.000Sure, I'm going to shout out my friend Matt Battagli, who's our executive producer.
02:01:37.000He has a new book out, a comic book, House on Fire.
02:01:40.000It's a dystopian story about this unbelievable world where the government tells you that you can't leave your neighborhood, that they make it very difficult to find the medicine that your wife needs, and otherwise living in this unbelievable dystopian future that sounds a lot like America today.
02:01:57.000And you can find this at your favorite shop and you can also find this on the big guys like Amazon.
02:02:04.000Go to freethepeople.org if you want to check out our videos and we also have some cool merch there as well.
02:02:19.000You can see a lot of work from our journalists, all of it really, and including a review of House on Fire by Chris Burtman, who is an awesome member of our news team.
02:02:57.000You can rewind the video if you need the link.
02:02:58.000And we're definitely getting to the point now where we want to expand into other artists doing more music than just like the four songs we've put out.
02:03:06.000We've put out, this is our third song put out through Trash House, Will of the People was put out a couple years ago.
02:03:11.000Those first three songs, Will of the People and the two we put out did really well on Billboard.
02:03:15.000Hopefully this next one does with your help, but then we can actually start finding more music and, you know.
02:03:21.000Yeah, Landon Starbuck last night played some of her music for us.
