Trump's trial date has been set for March 4, and the only person to be remanded to custody is the man who runs Black Voices For Trump, a group dedicated to unearthing the truth about the Trump administration. Plus, a new poll shows that Donald Trump's support among black voters is at an all-time low.
00:00:46.000And I think one of the most damning things to come out from this story of Trump's indictment in Georgia is that the only person to be remanded to custody is the black guy who runs Black Voices for Trump.
00:00:57.000We have a poll that came out from Fox News that says Donald Trump has 20% support among black voters.
00:01:04.000Now, if that's true, and it's a very big if because, you know, among the I'd like to see this poll repeated 100 times before I believe it.
00:01:11.000But if that's true, according to the Wall Street Journal and many analysts, if the Republican Party reaches 20% support among the black vote, Democrats cannot win.
00:01:20.000So this should be pretty interesting, and perhaps that's why the one guy who gets remanded to custody, no bail, is the Black Voices for Trump director.

00:03:06.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Spike Cohen.
00:04:14.000I think it was Brian Kemp tried to shut it down in Georgia.
00:04:16.000And now at the federal level, like, OK, well, we're going to interfere by any means necessary.
00:04:21.000Former President Donald Trump torched special counsel Jack Smith, as well as federal judge Tanya Chutkan in a new post he put up on Truth Social Monday, just hours after his official trial date in Washington, D.C., was set for March 4th, 2024, the day before Super Tuesday.
00:04:37.000Trump suggested the actions of both parties amount to election interference and promised he would appeal the decision, saying...
00:04:45.000Deranged Jack Smith and his team of thugs who were caught going to the White House just prior to indicting the 45th President of the United States, an absolute no-no, I like that, have been working on this witch hunt for almost three years, but decided to bring it smack in the middle of Crooked Joe Biden's political opponent's campaign against him.
00:05:12.000He made a follow-up post saying, page two, colon.
00:05:16.000How do you have an indictment that is based almost entirely on the findings of the January 6th unselect committee of Marxists, fascists, and political hacks?
00:05:24.000When these same lowlives who have been caught lying for years about Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, FISA, the fake dossier, and much more, purposely and illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence, findings, and proof of the January 6th committee, when will deranged Jack Smith criminally charge the committee?
00:05:41.000Well, there's no question in my mind, and I think any reasonable human being can understand, that when they set the trial date for the day before Super Tuesday, this will inhibit Donald Trump from campaigning on the single most important day of maybe even the whole election.
00:05:58.000Because whether, Super Tuesday's huge.
00:06:00.000You're gonna win the primary, but the votes, the turnout we see in the primary is, it reflects the general election.
00:06:06.000Donald Trump won't be able to have rallies, or if he does, it's gonna be at a courthouse, And it's going to give his opponents and Joe Biden a tremendous advantage.
00:06:18.000It's not just that it's Super Tuesday, which is 14 states, including Texas and California.
00:06:24.000It's also that they're seeking to put a gag order on him to not be able to talk about a lot of what's in the case.
00:06:31.000So they already did gag him for some of the stuff.
00:06:34.000I think anything involving witnesses, information about that, that comes out pre-trial.
00:06:39.000But who knows if they're going to file another motion to try and stop him from having any further discussions publicly about what's going on in this case.
00:06:46.000I think that's a really big concern as well, especially when he comes out saying that it's election interference.
00:07:23.000All the pronoun people, words are violence.
00:07:26.000It's a ridiculous concept when these far leftists are like, words are violence, and then they insult you and call you a name, because by their definition, your response should be what they describe as self-defense, which is violence.
00:07:45.000I think he's certain to win the nomination at this point.
00:07:48.000I don't see a scenario in which he doesn't, you know, pass away or something like that.
00:07:53.000That doesn't result in him getting the nomination.
00:07:55.000This is more about having the pretense or the pretext to be able to, like you said, to gag him.
00:08:00.000To make it where he can't talk about what promises to be, if not the single biggest election issue, one of the biggest ones, while he's campaigning.
00:08:09.000Well, yeah, and they just turned over, what, like, I think 12 million pages of discovery.
00:08:13.000I think that came out today as well, 12 million pages.
00:08:50.000It's hard not to think that any gag order imposed on Trump would be broadly interpreted, too.
00:08:55.000So even if for some reason he could be, you know, at a campaign rally, they're able to say, well, you referenced the last election, which of course he would because he's campaigning for president.
00:09:05.000And they'll say, no, you're in violation.
00:09:07.000It seems obvious that they're trying to trap him into potentially facing more charges.
00:09:11.000I'm torn between whether or not they want him in jail, when they want him in jail.
00:09:16.000I think they do, but I don't know if, like, these Democratic leaders are in alignment on when and how.
00:09:24.000Because if Donald Trump went to jail now, it would be a massive boost for his campaign, but it's really hard to predict exactly what would happen.
00:09:31.000Like, if they remanded him to custody.
00:09:33.000It would inhibit his ability to campaign, but the press would be so explosive that it might make more money for him than possible.
00:09:41.000He did raise like $7 million off the Georgia mugshot.
00:10:15.000And then and then I think we mentioned on the show and everyone laughed and I'm like, well, you guys didn't like I thought everyone just noticed they did that.
00:10:20.000Yeah, your tweet was the first thing I saw on that, and I was like, oh no!
00:10:38.000Well there was that poll, I saw a screenshot from Fox News, and I didn't see a headline reflecting that particular aspect of the story.
00:10:47.000The headlines were all like, Trump improves, and then you can read the poll and see that Trump is enjoying 20% support among black voters, according to Fox News.
00:11:01.000But, far be it from me to say outright it is completely wrong, Wall Street Journal, I think it was a year ago, found the exact same, almost the exact same thing, 17%.
00:11:12.000And a month or two before that, found that Latinos and Asians were also skewing towards the Republican Party.
00:11:19.000And it may not be that they're skewing towards the Republican Party, but the left is going absolutely insane.
00:11:23.000And the Democrats saying things like, we know gas prices are high, but sacrifice!
00:11:28.000for Ukraine kind of drives voters insane and they're going to be like at this point I'll vote
00:11:32.000for whoever offers me anything give me a ham sandwich and I'll vote for you. So I do think
00:11:36.000it is possible these numbers are real and there was a lot of propaganda videos people put out
00:11:40.000where it's you know like black dudes saying like yo I'm gonna be free with you I f with Trump man
00:11:44.000yeah go Trump like yeah okay dude like come on you find a handful of guys it doesn't mean these
00:11:48.000polls are real. Those aren't fun videos though. They're fun but they're real.
00:11:52.000But the reason I'm skeptical is if this is true, Trump can't lose.
00:11:57.000Yeah, there was actually something that came out, this would have been back in like 04 or 05, that said that if black support, if everything else remained equal, all other demographics remain equal, if black Democrat support went below 80%, there isn't a single state that they could win an election, a federal election or a statewide election.
00:12:16.000Wall Street Journal wrote that up, referenced it a couple years ago.
00:12:21.000Well, and that's why it was so significant when Trump gained like even two percentage points between 2016 and 2020 among black voters.
00:12:27.000I mean, he is, this was like Edison and Pew Research that found it, but he is more likely to have support from black men than black women.
00:12:36.000But especially in this, you know, four year gap that we've had Biden, it's, it wouldn't surprise me if he maintained the stamina that he had produced in the four years he was in office.
00:12:45.000It was funny, we had Fresh and Fit on the show on Friday.
00:12:48.000And Fresh was telling us that Trump getting this mugshot is going to resonate with a lot of people who felt that they've been unjustly incarcerated.
00:12:57.000They're going to see this guy who's being unjustly incarcerated.
00:13:34.000I'm not going to say that that idea came from this show, but people are saying it, and now they're getting offended that it's racist to imply.
00:13:40.000I suspect he's going to get at least a little bit of a boost in black support if for no other reason than he created the greatest rap album cover art ever.
00:13:53.000Yeah, I've been hearing this from people that it's like basically racist to say that a mugshot would engender support in the black community.
00:14:00.000But by the left's own numbers, right, by the Democrats' own numbers, black people are proportionally by population more imprisoned.
00:14:47.000If the Democrats are claiming that black lives by doing it.
00:14:51.000If the Democrats are complaining, saying that black people are disproportionately targeted by police, and then someone says, I think that might benefit Trump, that he's being unjustly, you know, charged, it's absurd that people are like, how dare you?
00:15:04.000But of course, Democrats, what else can you expect from them?
00:15:08.000I think it's the bending of the logic.
00:15:09.000They'll be like, well, Trump could never experience the things other people could experience, like, because he's, whatever, white and privileged.
00:15:16.000I think part of it is, you know, As you watch him get buried in all this legal bureaucracy, getting 12 million documents sent to him, people identify their own challenges with law enforcement and the legal system, right?
00:15:29.000They just see that, like, this is not a system that is meant to give you a swift trial.
00:15:34.000It's not something that necessarily It's fair and it's not necessarily a racial sling so much as people who find that the system is broken is seeing that no one is safe from it.
00:15:44.000Trump was the president of the United States and they're going to do whatever they can to try and use this arm of the government to keep him out.
00:15:50.000If it could happen to the previous president, it could happen to anyone.
00:15:53.000It is interesting too that the DOJ has been trying to accelerate the timelines in the cases that they're prosecuting and Georgia and New York both seem to be stretching it out a little bit.
00:16:05.000It's like Georgia and New York want to get convictions after the DOJ gets convictions so that they can use those convictions in their case.
00:16:11.000Even Alvin Bragg got permission to use Trump's testimony in the E. Jean Carroll case for his falsification of business documents case, which of course, I just want to point out, Hillary Clinton got charged with falsification of business documents.
00:16:26.000That was for the creation of the Steele dossier, which they classified as legal fees.
00:16:31.000They got that, and Trump's facing... It's multi-layered, right?
00:16:35.000They get one trial date, I think, in Georgia.
00:16:38.000You've got Kenneth Chaseborough, October 23rd.
00:16:41.000They will use all the testimony from all of these, and they'll keep layering it on.
00:16:45.000The first mission to inundate Trump's sphere of influence with legal challenges that drain their resources and inhibit them from rallying, campaigning.
00:16:54.000The second, of course, is to just put them in jail to get rid of them.
00:16:58.000And another large component is, maybe lastly it's get them in jail if we have to, but the other large component is, can we utilize any of this testimony to remove Trump from the ballot?
00:17:39.000New Hampshire Republicans have erupted in a feud over a long-shot effort to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot in 2024, with the chair of the state GOP insisting Monday that the frontrunner for the party's nomination will be included.
00:17:51.000In New Hampshire and elsewhere, some legal scholars and Trump critics have long argued the former president should be disqualified from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment Which bars those who've taken an oath to support the Constitution from holding office again if they've, quote, engaged in insurrection against the United States or given aid or comfort to its enemies.
00:18:10.000But the dispute is taking off in New Hampshire where Bryant Corky Messner, an attorney who ran on Trump's endorsement, Uh, and Senate nominee, blah, blah, blah, is questioning Trump's eligibility for the ballot.
00:18:33.000State by state, it's not even 2024, and they're already trying to remove his name from the ballot.
00:18:40.000If even a single state removes Trump's name from the ballot, you will have 75 million people at the bare minimum saying, we never had an election.
00:19:01.000If Trump's name's off in Florida, he can't win.
00:19:04.000Especially off, especially prior to a conviction, right?
00:19:07.000Like he's being found, essentially being found not guilty, being found guilty before a conviction and I also think that's why they're trying to push these things forward is they're not just looking at the, you know, gagging him or the political consequences of it, they're looking at trying to convict him so that he doesn't even qualify to run for president.
00:19:25.000But criminal conviction doesn't matter because the lawsuit citing the 14th amendment is a civil matter, it's a political matter.
00:19:32.000So the question is, does a judge think Trump waged insurrection?
00:19:36.000We're not here to, you know, the judge is going to say, the question laid before the court is not whether or not Trump committed a crime, but whether or not he waged insurrection.
00:19:43.000Based on the evidence from the January 6th committee, media report, media report, media report, video, video, video, it seems clear the judge says, just says yes.
00:19:55.000Let's just say it's December 12th, and it finally goes to the Supreme Court, it's rapidly pushed through, and they say, we reject this, you cannot remove Trump's name from the ballot.
00:20:09.000It's interesting too, because, and I'm sure you've seen it, the stories out from the Atlantic, New York Times, you know, NPR, whoever else.
00:20:16.000Saying that Trump should be off the ballot that they should use this 14th amendment and then I was listening to a podcast Like an NPR podcast because I'm always interested to hear what they say what they say, you know And I'll be like that's not what happened But I'm always interested to hear it and they were saying that state like secretaries of state for each state and attorneys general They could make the decision themselves that Trump was guilty of an insurrection and pull his name off the ballot ballot and they were sort of encouraging People to do that.
00:20:43.000I will say, though, that for the the New Hampshire thing, the New Hampshire GOP chair was on Charlie Kirk today and was saying that he talked with the Secretary of State and Attorney General and doesn't think the move against Trump on the ballot is going to happen.
00:20:58.000But that doesn't mean that it couldn't happen in other states.
00:21:00.000And certainly a lot of Democrats are saying that attorneys general have the power to do that.
00:21:05.000What I don't understand is why... Wait, wait, wait.
00:21:09.000The Attorney General can unilaterally just say we take Trump off?
00:21:11.000That's what they were saying on this podcast I was listening to today, was that they could, that the Attorney General could say he's guilty of an insurrection, that that could then be appealed.
00:21:19.000But by that point, like you were saying, if he's already off the ballot, then the election interference has already happened.
00:21:33.000Because they want the legal challenge.
00:21:35.000to uh to uh to go through after the after the election yeah that's right they do it in october you uh early voting and mail-in voting is happening and there's no name there's no trump on some of these bouts and you know what it's entirely possible based on what we saw in 2020 With the executive unilateral changes to the election rules and things like that, things like in Pennsylvania where they did universal mail-in voting in violation of their own constitution, a lower court judge said, yep.
00:22:03.000Then the Supreme Court goes, nah, it's probably fine.
00:22:05.000Even though any reasonable person can be like, yeah, your constitution says you can't do this, but they don't care.
00:22:11.000I wouldn't be surprised if, come October, they just, as you mentioned, Attorneys General, just take Trump's name off and say, there is no question.
00:22:40.000It's like with COVID when in New York State, Governor Cuomo shut down all the churches and a suit was brought and it ended up getting an emergency hearing before the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said, no, you can't shut down the churches.
00:22:52.000But that was months and months and months later.
00:22:54.000And by that point, like most of the people had stopped going to church altogether.
00:22:59.000And Cuomo said, okay, we'll get rid of it, and then he did another one in a slightly different way that did the same thing.
00:23:05.000So then it could be challenged again, and months later be ruled to, yeah.
00:23:09.000And I don't think they brought a challenge at that point, I think they were out of cash.
00:23:12.000I gotta tell ya, when people start to realize that the courts have no enforcement power, Everything's gonna start breaking down.
00:23:20.000Because it's always, it's an interesting thing, right?
00:23:21.000The executive branch has its enforcement power, the judicial, uh, uh, the legislative branch has subpoena power, and they can make criminal referrals.
00:23:29.000The executive branch is obviously where most of the power is, almost all of it.
00:23:32.000But the, uh, the courts, what can they do other than bang the gavel and say, do it?
00:23:35.000And of course, you know, courts have some degree of enforcement, but it's minimal.
00:23:40.000If a court says something and no one abides it, what do you do?
00:23:44.000I tell this people when it comes to private matters too, like, you know, it's the old saying, a person can be judgment proof, or you can't get blood, you can't squeeze blood from a turnip.
00:23:52.000I'm like, if you win a suit against someone, like look at Alex Jones, right?
00:23:56.000They sue him for, what is it, like the entire GDP of France?
00:24:33.000And now you have, on top of the political violence, a story we'll get to in a minute, a GOP lawyer, we don't know what happened, was killed in his home.
00:24:41.000Maybe political, maybe not, but we'll talk about that.
00:24:44.000But with the escalation of political violence that we've been seeing, to the point where Stephen Marsh, who wrote the book The Next Civil War, says we're in civil strife.
00:24:51.000I had a lingering thought about these autonomous zones.
00:24:56.000It's funny to me that, so I was trending earlier on Twitter,
00:24:59.000because I guess- In your own category, right?
00:25:12.000If I were to tell you that say, like a president claimed the election
00:25:17.000was completely fraudulent, large amounts of his supporters were claiming
00:25:21.000that he's the true president and Biden's illegitimate.
00:25:24.000There had been a dispute over who actually won the election in the previous election cycle as well.
00:25:29.000And then you ended up with a bunch of people storming into the Capitol and fighting with police in front.
00:25:34.000You also had a roving band of 100-plus far-left extremists storm onto government property in Georgia, And in one instance, get into a shootout with police, shooting a cop, and then the cops shoot back, killing one of the extremists.
00:25:46.000You have far-left extremists being arrested and charged overtly with domestic terror.
00:25:49.000I'm like, at what point do you say, maybe, yeah, civil war, right?
00:26:20.000Chaz and the George Floyd Autonomous Zone were on public property.
00:26:25.000The Atlanta Autonomous Zone was on a Wendy's, but the Wendy's was burnt to the ground, and then everyone kind of abandoned the area.
00:26:32.000So we have these different circumstances.
00:26:35.000What happens if far-left extremists occupy a piece of private land?
00:26:39.000Let's say in Georgia or Tennessee or something.
00:26:44.000Slightly more conservative leaning area, near an urban environment.
00:26:48.000They occupy, to set up their autonomous zone, on a derelict piece of private property.
00:26:53.000The person who owns that property then goes to the police and says, get these whack jobs off my property, and the police say, we have no capability to do that.
00:26:59.000Like we saw with Chaz, and with George Floyd, and Atlanta, the police backed down, and were like, we're not getting involved.
00:27:05.000But what happens when a private owner, or corporation, says, if the police won't do anything about it, I will?
00:27:11.000Well, you saw there was a guy in Atlanta who was a landlord.
00:27:56.000But this was a group of black nationalists who had Taken over a little area in Philadelphia in West Philadelphia.
00:28:04.000They had purchased a property in Virginia and they were planning to move to Virginia get out of the city and there was a shooting of an officer officer ramp.
00:28:13.000I think it was in 79 and a bunch of people like nine people ended up getting arrested and put in prison for that.
00:29:45.000Like, let's imagine it's just like an old warehouse building that's not being used, but it's still on the books for some big corporation or moderately sized corporation.
00:29:53.000Let's say like medium local or like corporation in a city that's got like a few board members and maybe a couple hundred employees.
00:30:15.000This is why the second amendment and the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense is so important.
00:30:20.000Like we see over and over again with Chazz and with Chop, with Uvalde and with Parkland, like when the police have mandated that everyone is vulnerable to violence and that, you know, they're the monopoly on violence, they very often like kind of hang back.
00:30:34.000And in a way you almost can't blame them because they also want to get home to their families.
00:30:39.000But they were holding back parents that were trying to get in there.
00:30:42.000In Uvalde, the guy who actually went in to kill the Uvalde shooter, he was an off-duty Border Patrol agent who ignored their orders not to go in there.
00:32:00.000Well, the cops apparently got a call that someone had a gun.
00:32:04.000I guess what happened was, someone told the police, you need to get down here and clear this barricade before someone shoots one of these protesters, something like that.
00:32:12.000Then what happens is, the dispatcher says to the police, there's concerns about a potential shooting, we've got protesters, so then the cops think these protesters have guns.
00:32:21.000And when the cop rams the barricade and jumps out with his gun, he says, where's the gun?
00:32:52.000The Nevada thing was absolutely amazing, though, because you had climate activists blocking the road, you had Burning Man people trying to get through the road, and then you had tribal police show up to clear the road.
00:33:03.000So the climate change people think they're on the side of the tribal police.
00:33:07.000They think that they're on the same side as them.
00:33:08.000The Burning Man people think they're on the side of the climate change people, but it turns out they're not.
00:33:13.000Meanwhile, the tribal police are the ones who get, like, all, they have all the oppression points, so they're the ones who get to win, and then they show up as a bunch of guys in trucks with guns.
00:33:23.000It was sort of, it was just fascinating to watch.
00:33:25.000You did have a bunch of upper-middle class white people occupying native land.
00:33:28.000Right, and that's one thing they said, you're trespassing on tribal land, is one thing the cops said to these people.
00:34:04.000When Jussie Smollett comes out and claims some guy threw a noose around his neck, the whole world shuts down.
00:34:12.000Every television network runs a tribute.
00:34:14.000You get, at the time, Ellen Page saying, like, frantically, because some guy hate crime hoaxed all of us.
00:34:24.000And then when you get a story about a GOP lawyer being stabbed to death, it's like, well, you know, we don't know exactly, so let's move on from this.
00:34:31.000That's why I think this story matters.
00:34:33.000Because maybe people on the right, be it post-liberal, libertarian, whatever you want to call yourself, should start saying, when these things happen, we make the assumption in the worst until we learn otherwise.
00:34:45.000Because they went Balls to the wall for Jussie Smollett.
00:34:49.000So how about we say we demand answers as to what happened to this GOP lawyer who got stabbed to death in his own home the police are claiming was self-defense.
00:34:58.000It's going to be difficult for you to convince me, and it's possible, that a person in his own home was killed in self-defense by a different person.
00:35:23.000There's one article up from a local news station saying they've identified the person involved, but they haven't decided what's going on.
00:35:30.000I mean, The longer there are no answers in communication, the more suspicious it gets, the easier it is to let sort of the conspiracy theory run wild.
00:36:06.000But I think the issue here is I'm gonna lean towards, you know, the back of my mind, political.
00:36:14.000Because when it comes to instances of mass tragedies and the perpetrator's left wing, they disappear.
00:36:21.000Whenever the bad guy, whenever the person committing the crime happens to fall into the alignment of the corporate narrative, it's like, uh-oh, can't have that one getting out, and the story vanishes.
00:36:29.000Well, it's like Jacksonville versus Nashville.
00:36:51.000But I think they were triggered by the same- It was a couple days after, because we were in Austin at the time and we- It was after- Kyle Rittenhouse had just gotten, I think within 48 hours this happened.
00:37:00.000So they were right next to each other, yeah.
00:37:01.000And he had posted, the guy had had some like BLM related stuff on his Facebook page, but also he had like, Crashed his car into his child's mother before driving to the parade.
00:37:13.000I mean, obviously it was a very unstable person.
00:37:15.000And then he stops to try and get a sandwich, remember?
00:37:17.000Yes, and he represented himself at trial, which was something to behold.
00:37:26.000I thought that judge should get a... I mean, because part of it was like, he just kept interrupting.
00:37:30.000Like, you're saying, you know, when you don't believe in what the courts are ruling, you can kind of defy them.
00:37:34.000It also turns out that if you don't want to follow the procedures of the court, it is challenging to enforce anything and also ensure the person who's representing themselves gets a fair trial.
00:37:43.000He had to keep getting sent to another room to watch virtually, and then it's a question of, like, can he accurately represent himself?
00:37:50.000This is a tangent, this is an aside, but you know, in the case of this lawyer, what's hard is like, either way, loss of life, very sad, you know, the police in this town are saying there's no threat to the public, so it's sort of playing, I actually think it's leaning towards domestic violence, or they're gonna imply it, but like, it is extremely difficult, I totally get you don't wanna Jump the gun and blow something up that you're giving the police a chance to accurately investigate.
00:38:15.000On the other hand, it is hard to say this is a fairly prominent political figure in a state that's the first in the nation to primary.
00:38:23.000So we kind of need some information here as soon as possible.
00:38:27.000And this past week, the GOP was arguing over whether or not to remove Trump from the ballot.
00:38:31.000So I don't care to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, and my bigger concern is, as a reasonable person, you're right.
00:38:38.000Domestic probably seems like what this may be.
00:38:41.000The person who identified may be a significant other, and that's why they're like, Oh my god.
00:38:46.000And they're saying self-defense, like who else would be in your home?
00:38:48.000Yeah, who else would be defending themselves in this guy's house?
00:38:50.000Right, not a visitor, but someone who actually lives there as well.
00:38:53.000That being said, if the freedom faction of individuals, whatever you want to call that, the anti-establishment faction, does not get serious in their propaganda game, they lose.
00:39:06.000And I don't mean to just lie, I mean to make noise, at the very least.
00:39:10.000Win on the merits of being reasonable, that's why I opened the segment by saying, probably a bad poker game, who knows, but be noisy enough about it to force the conversation.
00:39:20.000Because in the event that there is, and there have been, like Aaron Danielson, for instance, someone shot and killed in the streets of, I think it was Portland, right?
00:40:07.000It's not because he does not know what the culture war is.
00:40:11.000Everything he sings about And he's a good avatar for this.
00:40:14.000Everything he sings about representing working class people is effectively a right, quote-unquote, a culture war right position.
00:40:21.000But then he doesn't understand because he's not involved deeply in it.
00:40:24.000So when the media attacks him and calls him conservative, right-wing, and the left says these things, he's like, no, no, no, it's not left or right, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:36.000These regular people, you go to them, they don't understand the depravity and the evil of the uniparty, neocon, neolibs, all of these warmongers and this garbage.
00:40:46.000The Jussie Smollett stuff, the woke corporations, they think, well, you know, I'm going to be somewhere in the middle, but they don't pay attention.
00:40:53.000And then when you actually engage and you say something like, Look, I'm not here to argue about policy or anything like that, but it is true that Joe Biden got that prosecutor fired while threatening to withhold a billion dollars.
00:41:05.000As soon as you say that, you're right-wing.
00:41:07.000My favorite thing is when he said, you got money for foreign wars, you can't feed the poor.
00:41:11.000It's like, That's a right-wing talking point.
00:41:13.000Because the left says, sacrifice for Ukraine.
00:41:19.000And if you're loud enough, and we bring up more stories like this, and we question these things, maybe they might start to see more of the issue.
00:41:29.000Oliver Anthony is kind of the personification of what Pericles said long ago, which is, you may not be interested in politics, but politics are interested in you, and we're seeing that.
00:41:38.000This is a guy who, you know, writes songs, and he did one about his frustration with how things are going, and it was, I mean, there was a political element to it, but the guy clearly does not want to be political, and it seems like the rest of his songs aren't political to speak of, and he's been thrust into this political battle he didn't want to be a part of.
00:41:58.000A part of me wants him to just be able to just be a guy who's making songs.
00:42:02.000Unfortunately, he's being dragged into something he didn't even want to be a part of, which speaks to what you're talking about.
00:42:33.000Joe Biden's the one funding the foreign wars.
00:42:35.000And at the very least, while there are many Republicans who want war, there are many who don't.
00:42:40.000So there's a debate happening over there and not one happening over there.
00:42:43.000It is clearly more about one side than the other.
00:42:46.000The other thing too, I mean you were talking about 20 years ago, the culture war, and it's like 20 years ago is about when artists and art programs and all that kind of thing started saying that you have to be an art activist and politics started being really infused into art programs, which is when I was in grad school and that's what it all turned into.
00:43:08.000Like, I was studying theater, and the next thing I know, it's not about telling a good story, it's not about making something beautiful, it's about infusing your work with political narrative.
00:43:17.000So that started there, and it's been pushing out this whole way.
00:43:20.000And now we see, you know, like, Oliver Anthony can't get a song out without it being part of the culture war, but like, also you kind of need to know where you're squatting down, you know what I mean?
00:43:55.000But my criticism back is, my dude, you must pay attention.
00:43:58.000You must recognize who your enemies are and who your friends are.
00:44:01.000And I'm not saying the Republicans are your friends by no stretch of the imagination.
00:44:04.000Nikki Haley goes up on stage screaming lies about Putin wanting to invade NATO.
00:44:09.000So she can justify her insane warmongering.
00:44:11.000Yeah, Republicans are mostly bad as well.
00:44:13.000But you need to recognize who will come after you when you say something like minors on an island somewhere, right?
00:44:19.000It is going to be the politicians who are on that plane, who are typically aligned with the establishment and their corporate allies.
00:44:28.000Well, and this is, I mean, this comes down to another way of saying you may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you, is you may not be interested in democracy, but democracy is interested in you.
00:44:38.000When more and more decisions that are being made aren't, we aren't allowing individuals to make them, we're democratizing them, what happens is that means that someone has to win.
00:44:49.000Which means everyone else has to lose, and the people that lose have the winner's opinion enforced on them, whatever that thing is.
00:44:56.000So it becomes less and less about, I disagree with how you live, or what your opinion is, you disagree about it, but we're living separately.
00:45:04.000So now someone that you disagree with is your enemy.
00:45:06.000And so, of course, the culture war is only going to get worse and worse as things are more centralized and democratized.
00:45:11.000And the answer, obviously, is the opposite.
00:45:13.000Decentralization, allowing individuals to make their own decisions.
00:45:17.000That was one of the things I liked about Oliver Anthony's Rise was that it comes from a kind of growing area of music.
00:45:23.000I mean, it wasn't from, I don't know where music is headquartered in the U.S., I guess Hollywood and Nashville, depending on what you're doing.
00:45:30.000It's sort of this other alternative form of music that's getting popular right now.
00:45:34.000I think there is a desire to decentralize our sort of cultural capstones, but it's very difficult because I think that's not what the system, to give it a broad term, wants you to do.
00:45:46.000Well, I think the art forms that are the most accessible for decentralization are comedy and music.
00:45:53.000And so I think that that's in part why we're seeing more counterculture people coming out in music and comedy, but we're not seeing that as much in film.
00:46:03.000It takes an awful lot of money to create an independent film or a series or a theater performance.
00:46:09.000Or if you're an actor, if you get that black ball in your file, no one's going to want to hire you.
00:46:13.000And they're on strike now, which I actually think is a boon to culture.
00:46:17.000I think that's a great thing, that all of these people are not right now being paid to create garbage that we have to stuff in our faces, or stuffed in our faces, rather.
00:46:27.000Let's jump to this next story, because with all the talk about trying to stop Donald Trump and get his name off the ballot, there's another strategy that may be coming.
00:46:36.000President Joe Biden says he will request more funding for a new coronavirus vaccine.
00:46:41.000President Joe Biden said Friday that he's planning to request more money from Congress to develop another new coronavirus vaccine as scientists track new waves and hospitalizations rise, though not like before.
00:47:10.000You know, it's really worrying to me that for the first time in human history, a virus is not... We've got seasonal viruses, but now we're dealing with an election seasonal virus, which is particularly worrying.
00:47:24.000Well, it's just, you know, it's because as more people start gathering to rally, This virus spreads, you know, all people are going to these political rallies.
00:47:53.000As always, as always, I will stress, don't take medical advice from podcasters and talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
00:48:00.000That being said, it's kind of hilarious that all of these different preparations are being made, and it would seem that another lockdown or heavy mandates are about to unfold.
00:48:12.000So I'm also not a doctor, I'm just a Jew on the internet, and I can see where the confusion would come.
00:48:19.000There's something that Biden said during that when he was talking about the new vaccine, that they're going to get funding for a vaccine that works.
00:48:35.000I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.
00:48:46.000What is that implication, Mr. President?
00:48:49.000Now is not the time to be sowing any kind of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, okay?
00:48:57.000Why is noted anti-vaxxer Joe Biden not trusting the science?
00:49:03.000You know Corinne Jean-Pierre is just like, do I say that he mixes up his words sometimes?
00:49:58.000It's an educational doctorate, it's called something else.
00:50:01.000Listen, whatever she is, if she tells me that the thing that hasn't even been invented yet, I have to take it, then I have to trust her, because she does call herself a doctor.
00:51:54.000The environment—well, let me rephrase that.
00:51:56.000I think there are some areas, some of the more bluer and more, I guess, more metropolitan areas, might have limited restrictions.
00:52:05.000I don't think we're going to see the kind of lockdowns we saw before, because that required an environment of people that this was a brand new thing that they were horrified at.
00:52:12.000I remember when I made my first anti-lockdown video in March of 2020, and I was being attacked by libertarians, many libertarians, who were saying, well, we don't know how serious this is.
00:52:23.000Maybe we should, you know, maybe we should, you know, wait and see.
00:53:01.000And if you think you're a high risk tolerance, then adjust accordingly.
00:53:04.000And if you don't, then adjust accordingly.
00:53:06.000I don't think lockdowns are going to be something they're going to be able to do.
00:53:09.000And even Fauci has thrown around the word endemic, right?
00:53:12.000It's harder to get people to lock down for something that they've been living with for several years and have figured out how to manage, right?
00:53:18.000Like, I don't really hear people saying, like, well, you have to test before you come to my wedding or whatever anymore.
00:53:24.000I also have this theory that they actually don't want full-blown lockdowns because that means that kids would have to go back to online schooling and that really drove a surge in homeschooling.
00:53:33.000Because it uncovered all these things where parents were mad at us.
00:53:35.000Because we got to see like that's like it was when my son was doing virtual learning that I realized that they were having a two-day course on what was it white privilege and systemic racism and I got my voice recorder ready and I lined it up and I like voice recorded the whole thing for like the two days of that.
00:54:22.000And so where we already have high inflation in a year or so later, now you're looking at 15, 20% official inflation and probably closer to 25% unofficial.
00:54:35.000They're, they're pushing these mask mandates.
00:54:37.000And I think it's a lot of it is like, how far can we push?
00:54:41.000Government is a habitual line stepper.
00:54:43.000It is this constant, like, how much can I make people do what I want them to do?
00:54:49.000But I think they realize that the lockdowns, even with people as scared as they were, they turned up the boiling water a little too hot for the frog to tolerate.
00:54:58.000They've kind of gone back, and I think now they're going to do these, like, kind of smaller thing, like, well, can we get a mask mandate?
00:55:04.000But just in, you know, the more blue areas, is that going to work?
00:55:23.000They'll say, well, we can't lock everything down because the economy, you know, so we're going to recommend people quarantine, we're going to recommend masks, and we're going to recommend vaccines.
00:55:32.000And obviously, for those that have decided to quarantine, which is the right thing to do, we're going to send you a mail-in vote.
00:55:38.000So then what they do is they just say, we're going to send everyone a mail-in vote because we're not going to spy on you and see who's choosing to quarantine and who's not, and that'll be their justification.
00:55:45.000We're not going to spy on you right now, but we will other times.
00:55:48.000We are spying on you, but we're not going to admit that we're spying on you.
00:55:56.000I think it would be hard to get certain states to lock down, especially governors that are ambitious politically, having seen basically DeSantis's rise because of his stance against lockdowns.
00:56:07.000I think you would maybe get a couple blue governors who are like, this is a morally correct thing to do.
00:56:13.000But for the most part, they know it's it's essentially a political death sentence.
00:56:18.000They got to do something because Trump's going to win.
00:57:00.000Look, I think Trump can recover in any one of these states.
00:57:03.000I think Trump could even get a couple percentage points of the popular vote and the reason is You know, you get all these people that think 2020 was stolen because fraudulent ballots and double counting and things like that.
00:57:15.000It's like, okay, sure, fine, maybe, whatever, prove it.
00:59:42.000I went, I love telling this story, went to a furniture store, we were starting the podcast, this is like January, this is January of 2020, and starting to test our own.
00:59:52.000And I said, I'd like to buy some furniture.
00:59:57.000And the woman who was doing the sales was really excited as she wrote up the $5,000 ticket for all the crazy stuff we were buying to build a studio.
01:01:11.000So if you're wondering why it is that you are struggling, blame the Democrats and the far leftists and the people who are trying to shut down energy.
01:01:19.000But hey, Don't let me just give a free pass to Republicans.
01:01:31.000Well, because they are a liar, because nuclear energy is the cleanest, most efficient power.
01:01:36.000It's also the most carbon neutral one.
01:01:37.000So like from their own talking point of the most important thing, more so than anything else, is that the energy that we're getting is as carbon neutral as possible.
01:01:45.000Nuclear energy per kilowatt hour is exponentially more carbon neutral than the so-called renewables are.
01:01:51.000We also have an issue, too, where nuclear energy is something that we can generate here in the United States, whereas solar... We don't want to generate our own energy!
01:02:02.000Where, like, solar and wind, we have to go buy all that stuff from other countries, import it over here, using fossil fuels, of course, for our boats and whatnot.
01:02:09.000Yeah, it's also the safest form of energy production.
01:02:16.000Yeah, because there were nuclear weapons, they freaked out because they had to hide under their desks in the 1950s as school children, and then they took over the world and decided to delete everything that was worthwhile.
01:02:49.000They were concerned about nuclear tests that were being done in the ocean.
01:02:54.000The initial purpose of Greenpeace, this is my understanding, was to stop these nuclear tests.
01:02:59.000So they would get their little boat, and they would go and sit in these areas where they wanted to do nuclear tests, and then they were like, we can't do it, because they're there.
01:03:06.000And part of the reason was that it was devastating to whale populations.
01:03:10.000One of the co-founders of Greenpeace broke off and formed Sea Shepherds to protect whales.
01:03:14.000So this initial activism to stop nuclear weapons from Greenpeace transformed into a desperate, well, now that we stopped something that's bad, how can we squeeze the teat milk all these other morons for their donations. And Greenpeace
01:03:27.000went from let's stop nuclear bombs into how can we lie to people to
01:03:31.000keep maintaining our facade of environmentalism. They now just say whatever
01:03:35.000stupid garbled nonsense they have to to trick morons into giving them money. One of
01:03:38.000those things is that nuclear power is bad and they revel in it because they make
01:03:42.000lots of money from it. It's a cash game and it's beautiful profit. And going
01:03:45.000back to what Libby said it all started with their opposition to nuclear weapons
01:03:56.000It's literally, it is what, and in fact, the reason that we tend to use the less efficient hard water reactors is because the US government and other governments prioritized the production of nuclear weapons Over actual energy production, whereas newer forms of nuclear energy production, like thorium salt reactors and things like that, are far more efficient.
01:04:18.000The half-life of the waste only lasts, I think, like a hundred years instead of tens of thousands of years.
01:05:01.000I don't know the actual numbers for the exponential increase in energy output that we'll get from fusion relative to fossil fuels, but I believe nuclear is the most efficient, I believe, correct?
01:05:12.000The highest energy output that we have.
01:05:15.000It's remarkable, it's carbon neutral and it's got a massive energy output and they don't do it.
01:05:19.000So I watch this really amazing little mini documentary on energy.
01:06:15.000And so, like, we hit fossil fuels, which was great, which elevated so many millions of people out of poverty globally.
01:06:22.000And now we're asking the entirety of humanity to take a step backwards by using less good energy resources instead of exploring and developing better ones.
01:06:50.000But I just want to say this for the average person who says, bro, I don't care about Mars, I don't care about Venus, I don't care about Neptune or Alpha Centauri or whatever.
01:06:56.000I just want to know why I can't buy bread.
01:06:58.000You can't buy bread because they are putting a wet blanket on the economy.
01:07:05.000They want to shut down your fossil fuels without giving you an alternative because the real answer, the real reason they're doing it is probably communism.
01:07:11.000And so, they want to restrict what you can do, control what you can do, and you suffer because of it.
01:07:30.000When people are like, ah, don't pay attention to politics, I'm like, dude, I have little respect for that because you can't complain about why the prices are so high and then say, but I don't do anything about it.
01:07:59.000I was surprised in the video that you can repossess someone's braces.
01:08:03.000Yeah, that is sort of fascinating to me.
01:08:05.000Well, I think the issue is they have to get taken off and so she has to choose to pay to have them removed or go into like default, go into debt from the maintenance of them.
01:08:15.000I did always wonder that though, like for any of these procedures or like Invisalign or any of this, if you're on installment plans, what happens if you don't pay it?
01:08:40.000You know, I battled this in 2020, because I was traveling the country campaigning for vice president, and I would talk to people who would go, yeah, you know, things are bad, but if they could just, you know, get us reliable checks.
01:08:50.000And I was trying to explain to them, like, okay, what's happening right now is they've essentially shut down production for the most part.
01:08:58.000And they're going to print out ridiculous amounts of the currency that you use every day to buy things, and they're going to hand it to you.
01:09:04.000But in doing so, they're also going to hand a bunch off to the multi-trillion dollar companies at the same time, and they're going to get the lion's share of it.
01:09:10.000But in doing so, they're going to greatly expand the amount of currency without adding value.
01:09:16.000They're actually taking away value by making you stay home, so you have more money chasing fewer goods and services And in very short order, once things begin to turn back to normal, you're going to see shortages.
01:09:28.000You're going to see supply chain issues.
01:09:30.000And yeah, you're going to see rapid price inflation because price inflation is just an extension of monetary inflation.
01:09:36.000And, you know, you had a handful of people in D.C.
01:09:38.000like Thomas Massey and Justin Amash and a handful of others who were speaking out against this.
01:09:44.000Everyone else, either because they wanted it or because they were afraid to go against the corporate media narrative about it, they went along with it.
01:09:50.000And we're now suffering the consequences of it.
01:09:52.000And to be fair, I was more in line with Trump.
01:10:00.000And I think hindsight being 20-20, we now realize the mistake that was.
01:10:03.000But I think for the most part, too many of us trusted the machine when it said we were dealing with a deadly pandemic.
01:10:08.000We saw these videos coming out of China, and I think good people tried to be good people and said, look, you know, like, these people collapsing, it's terrifying.
01:10:16.000Now we look back and we're like, okay, it was bad, but like, man, did they overhype this and drive us into the ground over nonsense.
01:10:21.000And the real reason was probably political control.
01:10:28.000And the thing is, we're not, we aren't quite at smoking gun territory yet, but we're at, like, the smell of gunpowder territory.
01:10:36.000It's like, I mean, we're getting there where we already, here's what we already know.
01:10:40.000The NIH-funded Echo Health Alliance using gain-of-function research to greatly increase the function and to humanize viruses that were at least, the one that we know of, is at least, I think, either 96% or 98% genetically similar to the virus that creates COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2.
01:11:01.000So we don't have that smoking gun yet, but it was at the Wuhan lab that it happened at, and as soon as anyone even asked a question about it, they were called racist!
01:11:44.000You've got segregationist ally Joe Biden in there, the man who is famous for in the 19- The crime bill.
01:11:52.000The crime bill, uh, the, uh, in the 1970s, okay, forced segregation had ended at what, like, several years prior to that, at that point, and he was He was in an interview, he said that he had an issue with integration because he feared that his children were going to grow up in a racial jungle.
01:12:41.000And then he holds a chain and he's like, what'd you say to me?
01:12:43.000I was gonna say, even by his own story, it started because he was making fun of the black man's hair, the guy got upset, and so he responded by threatening to hang him with a chain!
01:13:01.000It's Joe Biden's endearing lynching story.
01:13:03.000Minutes, moments earlier that day where he talked about how he would force black children's faces under the water so they could stroke his legs or whatever.
01:13:12.000I was like, yeah, this is a great story, Joe.
01:15:04.000What I think is really wild, too, is that we keep having all of this stuff come out about Hunter Biden, about his foreign business relations, about how Joe Biden was on speakerphone calls, right?
01:15:13.000He was on speakerphone calls with executives of Burisma, you know, saying like, hey, hey, dad, these guys could use our help, you know, and Biden being like, OK, that sounds great, you know?
01:16:28.000He's got hairy legs and a mansion in Malibu.
01:16:34.000One of the things that frustrated me the most during the Trump presidency was when he got elected, or shortly before he got elected, he found out, or we all found out, that Obama's FBI had been spying on him.
01:16:45.000Explicitly to try to make sure that he could get basically what they're doing now, to prosecute him so he couldn't run and he'd be in prison.
01:16:52.000Then while he's in office, they do the Steele dossier, they do all the so-called PP story, the golden shower story, they do all this stuff to not just discredit him, But to try to now try him essentially for treason and to impeach him for that, and I thought, here it comes.
01:17:07.000This man's been talking about smashing the deep state.
01:17:09.000I've been advocating for the abolition of the FBI for quite some time.
01:17:13.000And then he would sign off on omnibus bill after omnibus bill that gave them even more funding than they had gotten previously.
01:17:20.000And then you would hear like you know when something would happen like the chaos that was happening during some of the riots and he would call for like federalizing the police response and it was like you're not getting it like it's not they're not just against you this system is a bad system that needs to be smashed you said you were going to do it you were elected at least in part you were elected because you weren't Hillary Clinton but you were elected at least in part because you said you were going to smash the system I feel like I'm that meme where I'm poking with a stick and saying, you know, come on, do the system smashing.
01:17:58.000We have this from the Post Millennial.
01:17:59.000We have a lot of Post Millennial tonight, huh?
01:18:00.000Former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin confirms he was fired after Joe Biden demanded it.
01:18:07.000Now, a couple years ago there was a sworn affidavit from Viktor Shokin where he attests to just this, but now we have him giving a public statement on this where he spoke to Fox News and he outright said, yeah, so that's your story Libby, why don't you tell us what happened?
01:18:21.000Yeah, so basically, Viktor Shokin went on with Bret Baier, and he confirmed that he was told when he got fired that it was Joe Biden's wish that he be fired.
01:21:21.000Then Donald Trump, in July 2019, Joe Biden had announced her presidency in April of that year.
01:21:28.000Donald Trump makes a phone call to then, you know, President Zelensky, who had replaced Poroshenko, and he says, hey, we've got this money coming for you.
01:21:36.000I think it was $391 million, way less than a billion, by the way.
01:22:40.000So they said, OK, Trump, you're impeached because you asked for an investigation into Biden for something that he publicly said that he did and you wanted more details.
01:22:50.000Now he's being prosecuted for all of this stuff.
01:22:56.000And that's not being considered election interference.
01:22:58.000I was going to say, if only he had ordered prosecutors to prosecute Joe Biden and have the trial date start right before Super Tuesday, then it would not be election interference.
01:23:09.000So that's what they impeached him over.
01:23:11.000And if you read the impeachment documents, which I did yesterday, it's very detailed about how Trump was wrong to launch an investigation into a political opponent during an election year.
01:23:23.000Well, to be fair, I don't think you guys have actually read any of the laws that they're using to to go after Trump on for the, you know, when they impeached him.
01:23:32.000It clearly states that in in the instance that the accused is Republican, the full force of the law shall be.
01:23:39.000You know, levied against this individual.
01:23:41.000However, if said, accused as Democrat, then just forget about it.
01:24:20.000To explain to people, I've been explaining to people credentialism for a long time.
01:24:24.000So, you know, I'd be talking to these, like, I have friends, everyone's like, you have to go to college if you want to get a good job, and I'll go, please.
01:24:29.000And then I'd be like, well, I have a master's.
01:24:59.000Re-educated by the Ontario College of Physicians because he made some incendiary social media posts.
01:25:06.000The people who complained about Jordan Peterson and got him investigated and subject to re-education, they were not his clients, they were not his students, they were not his patients or whatever.
01:25:15.000They were people who saw his posts on the internet.
01:25:26.000In fact, there are people that they have said will be the ones doing the re-education, Jordan Peterson will be paying for it, and those specialists, those experts, those credentialed people, cost $225 an hour.
01:27:08.000They're seeing all these posts and they're going like, wait a minute.
01:27:11.000I got told this stuff was wrong and I wasn't supposed to talk about it, but when I read through it, they're making some good points over here.
01:27:17.000My goal is to get my NSA mind, for there to be churn in the NSA because they keep having to assign new people to me because they go, oh no.
01:28:13.000I always thought that was weird about, like, PhDs, like, you have to go defend your thesis, but what if I don't respect anyone who's on the panel?
01:28:19.000What if I don't like any of their theses?
01:28:22.000Yeah, I don't understand why you have the authority.
01:28:24.000I've always found it weird, the credentialism and the people insisting that they're a doctor and so forth, because I was proud to tell people I barely made it out of high school.
01:28:32.000Like, I didn't go to college, and I had multiple successful businesses and, you know, a great life.
01:28:36.000My wife's, like, super hot and everything, and I'm like, you know, like, why?
01:29:01.000If you can work hard, you can make a lot of money.
01:29:04.000But if you want to party, take out loans and then get your degree and then say, look, I did a thing.
01:29:09.000That's why they that it's I think college is the lazy route, to be completely honest.
01:29:14.000So if you look at somebody who gets out of high school or doesn't go to high school and they start working, start a business, even if the job is Starbucks or McDonald's and they work their way to becoming a manager, what is it like the CEO of UPS started as like a in the sorting room or something like that?
01:30:18.000And there's like that scene where, I haven't seen this in decades, but there's that scene where he's in the classroom and the professor is explaining the basics of like marketing and like selling widgets.
01:30:26.000He's like, what are you talking about?
01:30:48.000What do you mean, except Tim Kast, you, is proudly minority-owned from an underprivileged upbringing, a mixed-race person from an underprivileged upbringing, a high school dropout who built it from the ground up and will credential you if you ask.
01:31:12.000I think part of it is a lot of the university system, especially when you get to like the Ivy Leagues and more elite schools, it functions the way that when you're in middle school and there's a brand that everyone wears, and so if you have the brand... What was that brand when you were in middle school?
01:31:23.000I feel like it was Abercrombie & Fitch when I was growing up.
01:31:25.000That was the thing that if you had the Hollister, Abercrombie stuff, then you were cool, right?
01:31:42.000I get to say that I am elite in some way and therefore I deserve something that you guys don't have, right?
01:31:48.000That's what I find that I'll get into, you know, arguments about, you know, books or whatever with someone and they'll be like, well, my mom told me this about the book and she went to Princeton.
01:32:15.000Because I think that a lot of the people who are having trouble You know, dealing with a society where credentials are actually not really that valid, or who are looking at, you know, the whole situation with Trump and realizing, like, perhaps, like, that he is not actually guilty of all these things, or looking at Biden and saying, oh, he is guilty of all of these things, or seeing society crumble, or all of the looting, or the stores closing down, or all of this stuff.
01:32:38.000It's like, it's very difficult to let go of what you thought our country was, and what you thought our culture was about.
01:32:45.000So you look at it and you say, why are people looting the stores?
01:32:49.000And that's really not the right question at this point.
01:32:52.000Things have changed so drastically, and so many people just want to hang on to the idea, the expectation of what they had for our culture and our country, and it's very difficult to let that go.
01:33:03.000I mean, you can grieve what that was, but we have to let it go to a certain extent.
01:33:10.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and if you go to TimCast.com, you can see the TimCast Miami show.
01:33:34.000And, uh, there may be some other stuff because the event is actually longer than just IRL, so we're hoping to do a Q&A audience-only session.
01:33:49.000ByTheFireSide says, if Trump is in court Super Tuesday, his campaign should hold free Trump rallies in the battleground states and have as many social media pro-Trump figures as possible speak in his stead.
01:34:03.000They want to shut him down on Super Tuesday, but he still has powerful, prominent media voices, personalities, surrogates, etc., who can go around rallying and campaigning on his behalf.
01:34:11.000And the trial may actually hurt them in this regard, because it justifies a lot.
01:34:17.000It exemplifies a lot of what Trump has been saying.
01:34:19.000So if you get Trump Jr., if you get Dan Bongino out on the campaign trail, if they go out and they say, look what they are doing to this man, they are cheating, that could be more powerful than Trump himself.
01:34:30.000Yeah, especially since then he could justify not being, you know, Super Tuesday, you want to be in 800 places at once.
01:34:36.000Whereas he could send every member of his family, everyone who represents him, and say, you know, he would be here, he would be in this spot, except that they're keeping him there.
01:34:46.000It's like looking at, like if you have a bunch of kids and you're like, you're my favorite slash you're all my favorite, you know what I mean?
01:34:51.000They may have done him a favor with this.
01:34:53.000I think the thing that I can't get over the fact that within, what, two hours the Trump campaign had those mugshot merch ready to go?
01:35:11.000I saw that and you know what that morning I was like the mugshot we need to like talk about the mugshot and comparing it to the Obama Shepard Fairey and then you did it and I was like nice!
01:35:20.000Yeah it was so funny and then but that's the thing this campaign has just embraced that this is happening right?
01:35:25.000They're saying like it's so ludicrous we now fundraise off of it so I think actually- Biden was fundraising off it!
01:35:32.000Yeah, everyone's gonna fundraise off it, but I think Trump is the most successful, and I really think being able to say, like, I would be here in whatever state, except I can't, so I sent to you my sons or whoever, it's powerful.
01:35:45.000I think that this, in a way, breathed life into his campaign, because I remember this time last year, people were talking about Maybe this isn't Trump's time anymore.
01:36:25.000But that's I felt like after his CNN town hall, where he was just like, the most ridiculous and also best version of himself where he's like, describing this case I brought against him.
01:36:36.000He's like, I own the hotel across the street.
01:36:38.000You think I would have seen in town hall?
01:36:40.000And, you know, I think To your point too, there was a moment where people really doubted it, and that's why CNN was like, it's fine, we'll have this town hall and we'll destroy him.
01:36:49.000And he is proving time and time again that he is ready and willing to go into this very aggressive attack on him personally.
01:37:21.000I voiced my frustrations about Larry Elder being kept from the debate stage, and I think that's indicative of the fact that they are controlling the narrative that they want on stage, and they don't actually want Trump there, despite Ron McDaniels being like, it would be wrong for him to miss it.
01:37:35.000They only wanted the fact that he could bring in a large audience.
01:37:37.000They know that he will not comply with whatever they want, hence the loyalty pledge, and they kept Larry Elder out, which means that there's a whole lot of conversation that would have been great.
01:37:46.000The loyalty pledge is pretty standard.
01:38:30.000to kind of the opposite of that when in this would have been in 2015 during the first i think the first republican debate they said uh you know who here would not support is not willing to agree to support whoever the republican nominee is and donald trump put up his hand proudly and and no one else would do it and i think those are the moments where you have this big field of candidates and one sets themselves apart and again i don't think uh if they are considering the political ramifications they're idiots i don't think they are i think that they just want them in prison I was going to read more Super Chats.
01:39:03.000Alright, Brendan Tiersma says, just got hired as an intern for Turning Point USA today.
01:39:09.000Thank you for helping to get the job with your content and now I can help fight the culture war.
01:39:13.000Here's another way you can help fight the culture war.
01:39:43.000In West Virginia, Martinsburg has some interesting elements in it, and I think there's an opportunity for us to do really, really great things in this town, and they could use help, they could use investment, and we are going to be investing in this area.
01:39:57.000We're not just in Martinsburg, but we're going to be setting up some stuff going on there.
01:40:02.000You can infer whatever you want with that, but I hope to see you down there.
01:40:07.000And if you live in Martinsburg, every day you can drive by ATF headquarters and flip them off.
01:40:14.000I did a machine gun shoot in Martinsburg last year and afterwards they're like, oh by the way the ATF headquarters like right there.
01:40:21.000The ATF headquarters, I think if I'm remembering this correctly, the one in Martinsburg has so many documents that the floor was collapsing.
01:42:43.000How much salmon you'd get if you were in the White House.
01:42:45.000So from when, even when I was running for VP, there were, you know, this sort of like slow trickle of people are like, you know, you should run in 24, you should run in 24 on the top of the ticket.
01:42:53.000And that slow trickle has kind of grown steadily over time.
01:42:56.000And then when Dave announced he wasn't running, it just...
01:43:18.000You remember George Washington didn't necessarily want to be president, but he was pushed into power because the people demanded that he lead.
01:43:24.000So if the people demand that you lead, Then that's the reason.
01:44:46.000I would also say if you guys are interested in this music that Oliver Anthony put out, there's a song called Appalachia by a guy named Josiah in the Bonnevilles and it gives you all the vibes about wanting to move to Appalachia right away.
01:44:55.000And look up the history of the song, was it Country Roads?
01:45:02.000So, uh, I read about it, and it was inspired by Montgomery County, Maryland, but that doesn't roll off the tongue very well, so they went and looked up in an encyclopedia, West Virginia stuff, and then wrote a song about West Virginia instead.
01:45:14.000Am I wrong in thinking that Montgomery is one of the three counties in Western Maryland that was like, please, let us join West Virginia?
01:45:20.000And they were like, yeah, we would love to have you, you have to ask Baltimore, and now we've heard nothing about it.
01:45:25.000Also, the county that Winchester, Virginia is in, which just sits right below the Panhandle, so sort of if you drive south from Martinsburg, in their county charter, a West Virginia state senator told me this, it has a clause where at any point they are allowed to secede into West Virginia because of the way it was divided.
01:45:45.000They can unilaterally do that without any... That's what a West Virginia state senator told me, that when they were dividing up the state, they were like, okay, we're not going right now, but we may want to eventually.
01:47:23.000Well, 200 years ago, if she was a single mom now, if 200 years ago she was married and then got divorced and became a single, she wouldn't have been divorced.
01:47:33.000So she still would be married or she would have been totally outcast for having children out of wedlock 200 years ago.
01:47:39.000None of that would happen, and let's be honest, the risks to your life back then were substantial.
01:47:43.000She may have died in childbirth or something like that.
01:47:45.000And also, if the reason that she's a single mother is because the father abandoned her and the kids, no community 200 years ago would have tolerated that.
01:48:47.000I just wonder how many lockdowns were enforced and officers would show up with the thin blue line variant of the don't tread on me flag as they actively tread on people who were, you know, committing crimes like going to church and meeting their loved ones.
01:48:59.000Or in Quebec, like police would show up if there were more than five people in your house and they would drag people out.
01:49:06.000In Kentucky they arrested a pastor and his congregation for having church in the parking lot in their own cars Like, they were even doing the whole, we don't know how serious this is, don't, you know, touch each other, don't get near each other.
01:49:18.000But we get to worship God together because we have the First Amendment.
01:49:21.000We're gonna worship God in proximity to one another, we're gonna stay outside, we're gonna be in our own cars, I think their windows were even up and they were still arrested.
01:49:28.000Do you remember the congregation that held church in Walmart in Pittsburgh?
01:50:29.000I showed up with some crayons and they told me that, uh, not only could I not use the crayons, uh, and, uh, not only could I not use a pen, it was, uh, a, uh, like a, um... Digital?
01:51:05.000You can be walking down the street, whistling a tune, and they'll say, hey, you're disturbing the peace, and you're under arrest.
01:51:13.000In South Carolina, a friend of mine named Johnny McCoy, who's an attorney, he actually got, after he was arrested for it, there was a law on the books, I forget what it was called, but basically it was so vaguely defined that it got struck down because when he asked why his friend was being arrested for...
01:51:31.000Uh, he was asking what his firm was being arrested for and they arrested him for that.
01:52:33.000Right now, if they make any... I think Texas should file a lawsuit against Georgia right now.
01:52:40.000To the Supreme Court, citing original jurisdiction, saying that the federal elections of 2024 are held between all states and Georgia is removing a candidate from an election that Texas has to participate in.
01:53:43.000And so a lot of lawsuits, this was before that, a lawsuit went out saying, like, Texas said, we participate in this election, and what Pennsylvania has done is not constitutional, so it is voiding our participation, and we demand this be heard, and the Supreme Court said, nah, not interested.
01:54:02.000And then you ended up with states asking Mike Pence to intervene because of the unilateral changes that were made in violation of the Constitution.
01:54:35.000And then in 1961, when they were counting the votes, Richard Nixon says, we've got the certified Republican votes, but everyone agree, we'll just do the Democrats instead?
01:54:46.000But it's not even that, it was that they were asking Mike Pence to return the votes and not reject them out.
01:54:51.000Like, it wasn't that they were being rejected, it was that they would go back to the states and the states would figure it out, but it would still trigger the House delegations electing the president.
01:56:06.000And then it's funny when, you know, I just when I talk to people about a fear of civil war or the state of civil strife, I hear the exact same thing.
01:56:16.000There's not enough people to engage in this.
01:56:18.000And it's just like every time I'm like, how many people do you think?
01:56:42.000Yeah, there's that famous quote where, I'm not sure who said it, they said, John Adams or something, that it was 30% want it, 30% don't, and 30% don't care.
01:56:50.000It was more so that, um, I read a historical assessment that said something like, it was like 35% support, something like 23% opposed, and the rest were like, don't know, don't care.
01:57:02.000So they're like, it wasn't the majority, but the plurality were just like, we have no idea what's going on.
01:57:15.000How awesome is that, that forget you don't care who gets elected, you don't even care like who's in charge of the government, like what the government even is, because it's so not involved in your day-to-day life you don't even care about that.
01:57:40.000If they can really get fusion going, and imagine if they can even miniaturize it and make smaller reactors, plus we've got solid-state batteries.
01:58:07.000We use chemical fuels, liquid, solid propulsion for a rocket.
01:58:11.000One of the proposed ways is a magnetic slingshot rail gun.
01:58:16.000It's a big machine, basically, that takes the cargo load and spins it at a high rate of speed until it's spinning as fast as possible, and then it flings it up a tube and just launches it straight into space.
01:58:30.000Yep, and once you have propulsion from hydrogen fusion, once you have that, now not only can you have much further and faster space travel, but you can have the kind of stuff you see in the sci-fi movies where it's like gravity's being simulated because it will continue to accelerate at, what, 9.8 meters per second or whatever, so that it simulates gravity by going in that direction.
01:58:55.000And then turning around and doing the opposite to slow down.
01:58:58.000And so not only will you be able to get to Mars in a matter of hours instead of weeks, now you won't even have to deal with the effects on your bones and muscles of not having gravity during that time.
01:59:08.000We're like that close to this kind of stuff.
01:59:43.000This is not a pro-flat Earth show, I was told.
01:59:46.000I was on a plane, and this guy, like, suddenly engaged in conversation, turned out he was a full-on flat earther.
01:59:52.000And I was like, I don't, we're on the plane.
01:59:54.000I pretended to be a flat-earther just for meme purposes from like 2015 to 2018 until my wife came into a room one time and I was literally making a flat-earth meme in a Facebook flat-earth group and she said, please stop.
02:00:07.000She's like, our loved ones are worried.
02:00:10.000I keep assuring them this is just a big joke.
02:00:13.000They're saying, how could you do this for three years?
02:00:14.000I said, okay, fine, I'll drop the flat-earths.
