On today's show, Nick Cerca talks about the latest in the Trump/DOJ saga, including the raid on Trump's private jet, the potential for him to be charged with a crime, and what it means for the upcoming mid-term elections. Plus, a new music video for the song "Only Ever Wanted" by Timcast.
00:01:06.000But, uh, this is all indicative of, they're probably going to criminally charge Trump.
00:01:11.000Earlier today, I was saying, I didn't think it was going to happen.
00:01:13.000I still perhaps due to normalcy bias lean towards, there's no way they could, they could pull this off because it's actually, it's getting Trump supporters fired up.
00:01:33.000Donald Trump has warned that something terrible is going to happen to this country and he's offering to help lower tensions.
00:01:40.000I don't know if that will be enough or what this means, but the fact that Trump said it actually suggests to me it's worse than we probably realize when Trump is coming out saying things like this, because I think he knows.
00:02:06.000Which means, if you ask someone who they'd vote for, they might say Trump.
00:02:09.000If you ask someone who do they think will win, they're saying Ron DeSantis more than Trump, but it's still fairly close according to predicted.
00:02:16.000And it could be because people expect Trump to be jammed up by the DOJ.
00:02:36.000The Keto diet works wonders, they say, and I gotta tell you, I'm not a nutritionist.
00:02:41.000Take the advice from a doctor, not from me, but When I cut out the sugars and started doing keto, seriously, within like a month, I lost like 20 pounds.
00:02:48.000And then since then, I've just been steadily down.
00:02:50.000And I'll say it right now, I'm officially about 168, 169, and I was down from like 200.
00:02:58.000And then I started taking this stuff seriously and started doing more keto and lost a ton of weight.

00:06:13.000Here's the first big story from Newsweek.
00:06:16.000Donald Trump labeled a flight risk after saying FBI took his passports.
00:06:22.000Newsweek reports, Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform that the FBI stole the passports, one of which he said was expired during the search on August 8th.
00:06:31.000This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our country.
00:06:36.000While Trump did not offer any details on why the FBI may have wanted the passports, some Twitter users suggested that it was because the ex-president was viewed as a flight risk.
00:06:44.000Attorney Seth Abramson wrote in a Twitter thread on Monday that if the news was true, The FBI is acknowledging what I've long said, this is a quote, which is that as a factual matter, Trump is a flight risk.
00:06:55.000And I just got to point out, perhaps it was the giant 757 with Trump's name on it that made them concerned Trump might be able to leave the country.
00:07:03.000But I also want to add just very, very quickly as well, for you guys, you know, people like Trump don't live the way we live.
00:07:16.000Actually, Donald Trump probably doesn't even make a phone call.
00:07:19.000When he charters his flights, his people probably call the people of the country he's going to, and they don't need to verify Donald Trump's identity.
00:07:26.000And the amount of money that he has and investments in many of these countries, they're gonna roll up the red carpet for him.
00:07:34.000And of course, there's some speculation, maybe that in the documents they grabbed, they didn't realize that a box had Trump's passports in it or something.
00:07:43.000But I'm just not giving the benefit of the doubt to the FBI.
00:07:46.000I think their only option now is to lean into.
00:07:50.000If you're going after the king, you can't miss.
00:07:52.000And so, earlier today I said I didn't think that they would indict him.
00:07:56.000With the information coming out now that they plan on releasing more information about these affidavits, I'm starting to lean the other direction.
00:10:11.000Yeah, just by saying they're declassified.
00:10:12.000I watched a video earlier with Comey talking with Hillary Clinton, just superimposed, juxtaposed to each other, where he's saying, you know, in her emails we found 30 plus... 110.
00:10:24.000110 classified pieces of information in her Gmail account.
00:10:28.000I think it was all in her Gmail account.
00:10:29.000Saying it shouldn't have been in a Gmail account.
00:10:31.000It was on a private server in her house.
00:10:33.000A private Hillary Clinton server had 110 classified documents.
00:10:37.000Out of 30,000 public records that she did not have the legal authority to destroy.
00:11:00.000And you're going to negotiate with Gorbachev about nuclear armaments and you sit down and you say, look, we know you got missiles in Turkey and you gotta move those.
00:11:11.000And then he goes, okay, well then what about your missiles that you have placed in, you know, around us?
00:11:28.000It would be insane to be like, let me get back to you and see if I can get the bureaucrats to determine if I, the President, have the authority to negotiate armaments.
00:11:35.000That's what would be happening with Biden right now.
00:11:57.000Now again, I'm seeing these memes go around where it's, you know, it's like there was one meme of a little girl and she's got like a shocked look on her face.
00:12:04.000And it's like, if you chanted lock her up over Hillary's emails, and now you are defending Trump, let's just admit it was never really about the emails.
00:12:13.000And then I just I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna respond on Facebook because I waste time trolling sometimes.
00:12:17.000or I should say trolling. And I just responded with very matter of fact, sorted, politifact,
00:12:23.000several sources said Hillary Clinton had 110 confidential emails on a private server,
00:12:28.000and they politely investigated and then said there was no intent to have an ICE day,
00:12:32.000even though she was Secretary of State with no declassification power.
00:12:36.000Donald Trump, after Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to probation for fabricating evidence to justify
00:12:42.000spying on the president, you can't expect me to believe that Trump has done something wrong.
00:12:48.000The benefit of the doubt is gone, and you need to prove you had a legitimate reason to do this.
00:12:53.000But still, Donald Trump as the president has broad declassification powers, so I just don't see anything here not to mention the warrant for the search of Trump's home said from the first day of his presidency to the last day of his presidency.
00:13:37.000Yeah, my friend Larry Correa, who's an author, he said, if I put that in a book that the judge who signed this affidavit worked for Epstein, people would say, oh, come on!
00:13:48.000The editors would reject it and be like, it's a little too much.
00:14:32.000I'm here to comment on the identical posting of all of these people around the world makes me feel like there's like one guy behind all the accounts just copy and pasting everything.
00:14:41.000And then I saw that and I was like, You guys ever see that video that Deadspin put together where all of the news anchors are saying the exact same thing?
00:15:35.000Repeated over and over again, the same statistics, the same quotes, the same perspective, but because it's multiple outlets, they're acting like, oh yes, we're all reporting this very important story that actually only one of us wrote.
00:15:45.000It's why the theory that there's like one guy putting out the same posts for every country, like, doesn't seem that crazy to me because they just copy what the other people are doing.
00:16:10.000I don't know if I would believe that, but I would believe that mass censorship was enacted on such a scale that the average person has no voice and only a small percentage of approved people are actually posting.
00:16:31.000I think we see it a lot that when it comes to censorship, high profile people get censored periodically, but it's always the smaller accounts who get hit instantly without notice and without reason.
00:16:43.000And I hear this from people when I go out and talk, you know, I'll meet some regular guy and I'll be like, I had a hundred followers and they banned me because I posted a news story.
00:16:52.000So that kind of makes me feel like, you know, if we go back to when Elon Musk was trying to buy Twitter, now he apparently doesn't want to buy it.
00:16:58.000When that weird shift happened, and overnight, people associated with, like, Libertarian, Conservative, or Independent all saw a massive gain in subscribers, and the left saw a massive drop-off.
00:17:09.000Really does make you think the dead internet theory might be real, and we're just arguing with bots 24-7.
00:17:30.000I mean, I was watching Jimmy, you know, Bright Insight, he does research on, I don't know what his last name is, but Jimmy is his first name, his YouTube channel is Bright Insight, talking about search results coming back, and like, he would search like January 6th, and then he'd say 800, or 8 billion search results, here you go, and every page he'd go to would be showing him the same results, it would be Wikipedia at the top, a certain January 6th page they want you to see, then he'd go to like next page, Wikipedia at the top, the same article again on the next page, next page, same thing.
00:18:16.000Greater than the masses that are also using it as a tool.
00:18:19.000It could be emergent in that special interests and corporations, you know, for one reason or another are pushing in this direction.
00:18:27.000You can say it's political, you can say it's criminal, you can say it's capitalistic or whatever, but there's an incentive for Google and these companies to do what they do.
00:18:35.000I honestly think, you know, have you watched The Orville?
00:18:57.000They had one episode where there's a planet of only men that are trying to force gender transition babies, and they're like, basically people are smuggling little girls off.
00:19:08.000In one of the later episodes they talk about how when there's no currency anymore, because in their sci-fi future they invented matter replicators like Star Trek, and so they're like, there's no more need for money or currency.
00:19:21.000And so this person from a lesser developed world says then why would anyone do anything?
00:19:25.000And one of the characters explains, you know, to do good for society.
00:19:29.000And it got me thinking about where we are now in the United States and why people aren't working.
00:20:23.000Well, some people will get gold chains and some people will stand up on a pedestal and scream about how virtuous they are.
00:20:29.000One by one, more and more people start seeing virtue as wealth, and virtue as currency, and you get hyperpolarization, cult-like behaviors from the mass media, which ultimately leads to societal breakdown, I suppose.
00:20:44.000So, in that regard, when I look at these sci-fi depictions of a future with no currency, and I'm like, they didn't see this one coming.
00:20:51.000What they predicted was everybody would be like, I'm gonna make society better!
00:20:55.000But what they didn't predict was, how does making society better manifest?
00:20:59.000It manifests with creepy weirdos talking about giving children sex changes and things like that.
00:21:21.000If you're not going to get ahead, if what you're working for suddenly is meaningless, and the money doesn't mean what it used to mean, then why are you going to put forth all that effort?
00:21:31.000Why are you going to work that hard when you don't have to?
00:21:45.000When I was working for that ABC News joint venture, Fusion, they said the future is mission-driven storytelling.
00:21:52.000Now, in their minds, it was going to make them money.
00:21:55.000And then, you know, like people will click on it, it'll work.
00:21:57.000And that's a capitalistic way to view it.
00:21:59.000Ultimately, it goes insane, becomes woke, because woke is the safest path for a lot of these people.
00:22:04.000For us here, you know, the people who are working here at Timcast are doing it because we believe in what we're doing and we want to do something good.
00:22:11.000It's very much like virtue-based currency.
00:22:14.000Obviously, you need hard currency so people can eat food and pay rent and all that stuff.
00:22:18.000But I think, you know, for better or for worse, you're going to have a society built upon who is actually doing good, who thinks they're doing good, and who is doing bad.
00:22:29.000But like but thinking they're doing good how that will end up playing out There's no guarantee anyone wins, but I can say Cheaters win men, you know as much as people want to rag on cheating If you cheat, you don't get caught.
00:22:44.000If there's a hundred people racing and someone cheats, they're gonna win.
00:22:46.000I mean, you look at these blood doping, you look at the Tour de France.
00:23:14.000I think once you get a certain amount of cheaters in society that they start Cheating each other and you start to see a more value of honesty.
00:23:23.000I wish I could remember what it was called.
00:23:25.000Anyway, I don't want to go too deeply into it, but it shows you like it would give you like what if you have 99% honest people and 1% cheaters?
00:23:31.000Well, the cheaters actually win in those situations.
00:23:44.000But it's also who gets to define cheating.
00:23:47.000If you have the government that says cheating is actually fair, which is what you have in California, you can't get those people out of office because you can't vote them out.
00:25:46.000A historical defeat that's supposed to be coming in the midterms, and every time someone comes out and says, no, you can't win, then people give up, and then they don't vote.
00:25:53.000It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, when in reality, Donald Trump won, and it caused such chaos and tumult for the establishment that it's brutal chaos.
00:27:01.000They would not be taking his passports.
00:27:03.000They'd sit back and laugh because they're the cabal.
00:27:05.000But the reality is, Trump got 74 million votes.
00:27:08.000He got 12 million more votes than last time.
00:27:11.000Now, I certainly think we can take a look at 2020 because, you know, I've seen all the stuff that came out in 2000 Mules and I think there are questions for sure.
00:27:18.000But the reality is, COVID lockdown, sports are gone, movies are gone, and then I get to watch all of my skateboard friends who don't know what Supreme Court justice even means post videos of themselves dropping mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.
00:27:33.000And then what happens is Donald Trump comes out a month later telling everybody that's not actually why he lost, and then they lose the Senate because of it.
00:27:43.000Trump and the Republicans in the establishment in many states voted to change rules that heavily favored Democrats, whether they realized it or not.
00:27:51.000Probably a lot of them realized it was going to happen.
00:27:53.000Now they have to use the FBI and the DOJ to go after Trump because he will win in 2024 unless they weaponize the DOJ against them because they don't have control of the election system.
00:28:03.000See, I disagree because they're not just going after Trump.
00:28:07.000They're going after everybody who supports Trump.
00:28:09.000Which proves their desperation and inability to control an election.
00:28:13.000No, which proves that that's part of the cheating.
00:28:17.000They're trying to neutralize all the people that do support Trump.
00:28:20.000If they could cheat, why would they need to go after Trump's support and why would they need to try and indict him?
00:28:24.000Because they cheated in 2016 and it wasn't enough.
00:28:27.000And they know now that it's even worse.
00:28:32.000They lost in 2016, then they sent Russia-gate after Trump, they sent Ukraine-gate after Trump, they made up lie after lie in the media over and over and over again, and that worked.
00:28:44.000But Tim, you just said Trump got 12 million more votes in 2020 than he got in 2016.
00:28:51.000You don't think that that happened because they cheated.
00:28:54.000There's no way that Joe Biden got 81 million votes.
00:29:07.000Before Obama, did they shut down movies?
00:29:09.000But the pandemic allowed them to do the mail-in ballots.
00:29:13.000And mail-in ballots gives huge advantages to urban centers, regardless of anything else.
00:29:20.000So if your argument is that it was cheating to change the election system, like in Pennsylvania, by implementing universal mail-in voting, I understand your point.
00:29:28.000The issue I take is when people started claiming, like, Uh, widespread fraud and things like that.
00:29:33.000And the issue with it is... They didn't need widespread fraud.
00:29:40.000So, to clarify then, that is what I refer to with the idea of widespread fraud.
00:29:46.000The issue is, it's extremely easy for Democrats in six counties to spend tons of money to go door to door and say, fill that out, put it in the box right there.
00:29:57.000When that happens, it is extremely easy when you've taken away people's jobs, when you've taken away their entertainment, when you've blamed Trump the entire time.
00:30:05.000When Donald Trump started doing pressers nightly, CNN and all these other outlets, immediately they cancelled showing his live events because it was improving his ratings.
00:30:15.000The whole goal was to manipulate people into voting in their direction.
00:30:19.000I'm flabbergasted at the idea that Trump did win in 2016, but people still think they cheated, which I don't understand.
00:30:47.000That's how Al Franken got in the first time.
00:30:49.000It's like, he lost, and then they said, oh, we found these 500 votes that were in the back of a church, or they found something in the back of a car.
00:30:59.000And they've been doing this for years.
00:31:02.000They've been doing it since Kennedy-Nixon.
00:31:04.000I think it's not out of the ballpark to suggest that it's definitely possible that people have been cheating voting systems since the dawn of man.
00:31:11.000But without hard evidence, it's impossible to make valid claims.
00:31:17.000And it's people that cheat are very good at hiding the evidence, which is, you know, so that's why good criminals don't get caught.
00:31:23.000I'll tell you what bugs me is there's a lot of stuff that came out in 2020 that was easily proven false.
00:31:33.000There was that video of ballots being pulled out from under tables.
00:31:39.000And it was just like, if you watch the actual security footage, you watch them take ballots and put them in boxes and put them under the table, and then you watch for several hours, they pull them out, and then they start counting all at the same time.
00:31:50.000And I'm like, those ballots came in the same, like, normally.
00:31:53.000And people were, like, posting these memes claiming that the ballots came out of nowhere from under the table, and I'm like, watch the full video, please!
00:32:00.000But what's really frustrating is, for one, I fully support an inquiry and investigation into all of the elections, every single one of them.
00:32:06.000After a year and a half, there's nothing to show for it?
00:32:11.000I mean, I've had multiple people on to talk about this over and over again, and it's surprising to me that despite causing the defeat of Republicans in the Senate, Republicans still keep saying over and over again that they can't win.
00:32:23.000It's like, bro, November is in three months.
00:32:25.000You need to be telling people the opposite.
00:32:26.000You need to be telling them, you can win, you're gonna win, make sure you get every single one of your friends out to go vote.
00:32:32.000Instead, you've got people coming out being like, what's the point?
00:33:52.000that has never uttered the word politics in his life, filmed himself holding his mail-in ballot and walked to a mailbox while saying, it's time to do what's right and vote.
00:34:00.000And I'm like, this guy doesn't know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is.
00:34:03.000He doesn't even know what the phrase Supreme Court justice means.
00:34:28.000How was it in California when they dumped the sand into the pits out there?
00:34:34.000Everybody knew that was Newsom doing that.
00:34:37.000But people, when they go and they look to the TV, and obviously I'm speaking in generalize and I say everybody, obviously the people who hate Newsom, they're Republicans.
00:34:44.000Republicans weren't going to blame Trump for this.
00:34:46.000But my normie friends who have no idea what's going on, they don't know who Newsom is.
00:34:51.000They've never heard the word Newsom before.
00:34:53.000They turn on the TV and they're like, because of Donald Trump, the pandemic is worse.
00:34:56.000And they're going, dude, I just want to escape, man.
00:34:59.000And then along come the Democrats knocking on the door being like, Well, then you better go vote for Biden, because if Trump stays in, you're never skating again.
00:35:06.000And they film themselves doing this stuff.
00:35:08.000Well, hell, that's more defeatist than me saying the cheating.
00:35:12.000If everybody's that stupid, then there really is no hope.
00:36:35.000Thanks to this narrative, you've just suppressed your own vote.
00:36:39.000And sure enough, Democrats got 50-50 in the Senate.
00:36:42.000I think there's nefarious BS that happens at the highest level of politics.
00:36:47.000I think these people play dirty games all day and night.
00:36:49.000I think there's trading tit-for-tat for rule changes.
00:36:52.000The Pennsylvania Republicans did a deal with the Democrats to implement universal mail-in voting because they thought eliminating the down-ballot vote would benefit Republicans, not realizing universal mail-in voting would basically destroy their chances of winning.
00:37:05.000Either because they hated Trump, they wanted to cut a deal, or they were just really dumb.
00:37:29.000But I just think it's important to clarify because we're three months out from the November midterm election and I am really, really trying to make sure that everybody has the full charge, storm into battle mentality of getting all of their friends going out and proving that they can win.
00:37:46.000Do you think there's a significant part of the Republican Party that is part of the swamp that hates Trump?
00:37:56.000So that's why some of the Republicans have agreed to some of the things that you're talking about.
00:38:01.000But I think it's important to clarify what cheating is.
00:38:04.000Right, because there are people who think they're servers in Venezuela.
00:38:07.000There are people who think that the ballots weren't real ballots in the first place, like they came from China and things like that.
00:38:12.000And that was the big narrative after the election, the narrative.
00:38:15.000So, you know, clarifying what it means.
00:38:17.000When Time magazine published an article called The Shadow Campaign, To save the election and they literally call it a conspiracy.
00:38:25.000I'm like, okay, if you want to say it's rigged because of the Time magazine article, I get it for sure.
00:38:31.000But I think it's important to say that there are establishment policies and procedures that negatively impact the populist left and right chances for winning.
00:38:40.000I think that powerful elites in both parties desperately want to stop Trump and they're cutting deals to change policy and procedure.
00:38:48.000That negatively impact the chance for Trump supporters to get in and then you take a look at the what's been going on and I think right now in the past several months with the primaries with the Trump America first candidates winning across the board.
00:39:05.000Like, I think this shows, outright, you can win.
00:39:08.000That you should not be holding onto these ideas of they're gonna cheat or whatever.
00:39:13.000It's like, whatever is gonna happen, you just need to get all of your friends and go vote.
00:39:51.000They are trying to, it appears, indict Donald Trump because they can't stop him from winning.
00:39:56.000So, I'll leave it at that, because I don't want to just keep ranting.
00:39:59.000Every time someone comes up with this, it's like we have to go into a full tirade explaining my views on this, but it's primarily because November, the election is less than three months away, and everybody needs to have in their hearts, you can win.
00:40:17.000I do not believe it is I don't believe that narrative.
00:40:30.000The problem, like it's not going to stop me from voting.
00:40:32.000I'm still going to vote is when that there's a corporation called Dominion or whatever you want to call these different corporations that tally the votes on their mechanical, on their digital machines behind the scenes.
00:40:41.000The problem that people make is when they come out and they say they cheated because you don't know they're doing it in secret.
00:40:46.000So you don't know if they're cheating or if they're working honestly.
00:40:50.000The problem for me is the not knowing.
00:40:52.000I think that that needs to be transparent so we can verify whether it was accurate or inaccurate.
00:41:14.000But it's the most important thing said of anything pertaining to any of this.
00:41:18.000At the end of the day, regardless of what you think about the election, what needs to happen is we need to have sweeping reform on our election systems that if we're going to go electronic, the source code has to be publicly viewable and very easily accessible.
00:41:31.000And even then, let's be real, who's going to understand the source code?
00:41:34.000But this means everyone will be allowed so there's equal playing field.
00:41:39.000Every political party can hire their tech specialist to review it.
00:42:17.000I think that even though there are parts of the party that don't support Trump, they have seen the tides turn.
00:42:25.000I mean it's almost impossible to deny that Trump's popularity is solid and they risk their own seats by trying to ally themselves with the narrative that's losing with their voters.
00:42:37.000Wyoming is the number one Trump-supporting state.
00:42:40.000So I don't even know if they have enough Democrats to actually swing this election.
00:42:53.000I think what we need to realize about our election system is that the whole thing, elections are not as simple as someone walks up, signs a ballot, hands it in, and then we cross our fingers we got the votes.
00:43:21.000So the reality of it is when in Pennsylvania is the best example they changed the voting law to implement universal mail-in voting seemingly in violation of their own constitution and we had Sean Parnell on talking about this that They actually, initially, they changed the language of the bill they were going to introduce because they realized it violated the Constitution.
00:43:44.000A lower court actually agreed with them and said, we think this will be found, you know, sustained on the merits, and then ultimately got thrown out for standing just before 2020.
00:43:52.000Then it was found earlier this year to be unconstitutional.
00:43:57.000The voting system, universal mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, was deemed by a lower court unconstitutional.
00:44:01.000The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, I believe it was the Supreme Court, just upheld it as constitutional, saying nothing in the Pennsylvania Constitution forbids universal mail-in voting.
00:44:13.000The Constitution says absentee ballots must be for these reasons, and their argument is mail-in voting and absentee are not the same thing.
00:44:23.000But this went through a legal process and now we've got a very serious problem in this country as it pertains to Pennsylvania, but that finally made it through.
00:44:32.000I think one thing that needs to happen is Republicans need to realize it's an uphill battle with mail-in voting.
00:44:38.000And if that's the case, y'all better start driving to all of your friends' houses as soon as early voting starts, because the Democrats... This is what I try to explain to people.
00:44:50.000In one unit in Manhattan, you might have 1,000 voters.
00:45:15.000If a Republican wants to do that, they gotta drive in a rural area, what, you know, a quarter of a mile, every house they go to, to get one or two voters.
00:45:23.000So this is why I think universal mail-in voting was entirely negotiated by Democrats to benefit themselves.
00:45:30.000You can argue the Republicans in Pennsylvania sold out Trump because they hated him, but they got a deal too.
00:45:36.000They had that down ballot thing where people in Pennsylvania could just vote down.
00:45:39.000But let's advance from this topic so I don't just beat a dead horse.
00:45:43.000Because we do have this story from the South China Morning Post.
00:45:55.000law enforcement agencies prepare for potentially violent fallout from FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
00:46:01.000FBI and DHS identify multiple articulated threats and calls for the targeted killing of judicial, law enforcement, and government officials.
00:46:09.000Yo, there's another story from Axios that goes along with it that I don't even know if I can start getting into because the language used by this guy is so egregious.
00:46:20.000Pennsylvania man arrested for threatening to slaughter FBI.
00:46:28.000So I said it the first time in the title of the South China Morning Post article, but I'll tell you this.
00:46:32.000While the FBI is claiming there are these very real threats and that they're concerned about them, Jane's Revenge has admitted to engaging in terrorism.
00:46:52.000I mean, I'm sure she has support in Congress, but like, no one is taking action against James Revend.
00:46:56.000Remember when, like, when you're reading the headline, they're like, they're threatening government officials.
00:47:01.000Do you remember when that guy showed up at Brett Kavanaugh's house?
00:47:04.000I mean, they're acting like, you know, violence is one-sided, which it really is not in this country.
00:47:10.000And obviously, I think most threats come from extremists that don't represent the majority of people on either side of the spectrum, but This is very bizarre, but we forget that it's double-sided.
00:47:24.000If you're the FBI and you're raiding Donald Trump, the right is very mad at you.
00:47:29.000If you're the FBI and you're investigating Trump for Russiagate, the right is very mad at you.
00:47:34.000And so imagine you're sitting in your chair and you're, you know, reading the news and all of a sudden Antifa is just screaming, they hate you, you're evil, you're corrupt.
00:47:43.000And then people on the right are not really saying a whole lot.
00:47:45.000You'd be like, man, these guys are crazy over here.
00:47:47.000They won't stop talking about how they want to do evil stuff.
00:47:50.000This is what the FBI is basically doing.
00:47:52.000For one, I mean this is an example of their overt political bias.
00:47:56.000They engage in weaponized politicking, going after Trump for Russiagate, clearly fake.
00:48:01.000The FBI, Kevin Kleinsmith I believe his name was, altered an email fabricating evidence to justify spying on the Trump campaign.
00:48:09.000Then, Trump supporters get mad at the FBI, say you're all corrupt.
00:48:13.000Then a bunch of other FBI agents, who are not involved and don't know that this corruption is occurring, just think the Trump supporters are crazy, because, hey, I didn't do anything wrong.
00:48:22.000Then the FBI starts pointing at the people who are pointing at them, and they're completely ignoring Antifa on the far left.
00:48:27.000And, cherry on top, they're getting all their news from the corporate press, who's been actively defending, you know, Antifa on the left, to a great degree.
00:48:35.000Not all the time, but to a great degree.
00:48:37.000So, it's not so much, I would say, that you need to be concerned about a conspiracy, but an emergent phenomenon where these are the things that are causing the FBI to be inflamed.
00:48:47.000Like, to target Trump supporters on the right.
00:48:50.000Well, they've drummed out over the years, they've gotten rid of the people in the FBI that were there, that were not willing to do this kind of thing, to demonize people that support Trump.
00:49:04.000This is part of just demonizing anybody that disagrees with the powers that be.
00:49:09.000That's what they've been doing since January 6th.
00:49:13.000That's why they've been terrorizing American citizens who just went to Washington on January 6th and waved flags.
00:49:20.000And that's why when you have an actual person who is camped outside of Brett Kavanaugh's house, And it's going to kill him.
00:49:28.000That mentioned for a couple of days, but then they make these sweeping pronouncements about all these threats.
00:49:33.000It's the same thing as when they declared all the parents that went to school board meetings as potential domestic terrorists.
00:49:41.000Everybody that disagrees with the weaponized FBI, with the government's The FBI has become our Stasi now.
00:49:52.000They are just investigating people who they consider to be enemies of the administration, enemies of the government, people who disagree.
00:50:01.000Why do you think they're just not going after Jane's Revenge or the left?
00:50:06.000I mean, maybe they are, they just don't care.
00:50:13.000They're not going to investigate them, just like the BLM and Antifa riots in 2020 and 2021.
00:50:20.000They didn't treat those people the way they're treating the January 6th people.
00:50:24.000So we've talked about something a bit in the past couple of weeks, that if Joe Biden were to pardon all of the January 6 people, that his popularity would spike.
00:50:34.000Democrats would start cheering and clapping about how gracious they are.
00:50:38.000And Trump supporters wouldn't have much to say other than, well, that was the right thing to do.
00:52:22.000They want everybody that went to Washington on January 6th in jail forever.
00:52:27.000I agree, but my point is that when faced with having to admit that their guy betrayed what they truly wanted, they're more about virtue signaling.
00:52:36.000They wouldn't throw Biden under the bus.
00:52:37.000Biden is implementing policy that's damaging to our energy sector, and they claim the opposite.
00:53:25.000I don't see anything like that happening.
00:53:27.000Sometimes I think if he were to do that, it's the only way the Democrats would admit that he is like in early stages of dementia or maybe not early stages.
00:53:34.000Because then they would be like, see, he's really not in a position to be doing this.
00:53:46.000There would be some who would be like, well, Because of this illogical twisting of argument, then this is why it makes sense to do that, but I do think that there would be enough who would say, you know, no, he should only be pardoning, you know, African-American men who have done this, like, to pardon a majority white crowd that went to this, you know, like, it would be, it would be really against narrative and upstream, and that's where I think they would be like, well, I mean, like, if he had done it his first day in office,
00:54:14.000Because they had enough, they know he's going to be in office for a little while, but he's halfway through, almost halfway through at this point.
00:54:20.000We can all kind of tell things are not right.
00:54:23.000If he were to pardon all the January 6th prisoners, which of course I wish he would, he would probably just get, well, it's time for Biden to retire.
00:54:33.000We didn't really want him here anyways.
00:54:35.000And how do you get from the worst attack on our nation's democracy since the Civil War to, I'm just going to pardon everybody?
00:54:43.000I mean, we got to acknowledge that COVID caused massive strain and stress on people's psychology.
00:54:47.000It's not just shutting down what happened as a result of COVID and the response to COVID, but the COVID virus, when I had it, I was angry, man, and I was stressed out.
00:55:34.000Like, I understand the instinct to want to be like, let's just start over, but I think that, like, the memories of everything that's happened runs too deep.
00:55:41.000You wouldn't actually give people a sense of justice or satisfaction.
00:55:44.000It would just be like, we're making the score zero except we all secretly know it's not zero.
00:55:48.000I don't think Abe Lincoln thought he was doing what was politically correct when he freed the slaves.
00:56:05.000And it was also about destabilizing the South, because the Emancipation Proclamation was basically saying to all of the slaves, which were in Southern states because the North states were free, Rise up against the government there.
00:57:32.000I mean, the dude suspended habeas corpus up through a corridor from DC through Maryland to Pennsylvania, where they were just arresting people without charge and holding them indefinitely.
00:57:42.000This is not a guy who believes in freedom and doing right.
00:57:44.000It's a guy who believed in winning by any means necessary.
00:57:47.000I think the slavery thing was like a moral thing for him.
00:57:50.000No, he said if I could have kept the union together without freeing slaves, I would have done it.
00:57:55.000I mean, he was completely dedicated to keeping the union as a nation.
00:57:59.000I think we're taught that in school that it is about slavery and it's about morality because our sensibilities have changed and I think if you were president now, in that time, you would have behaved differently.
00:58:10.000But for Abraham Lincoln, it wasn't about slavery and I think we're just told to turn a blind eye to that.
00:58:22.000I mean, there's a really great letter Ulysses S. Grant wrote where he said that the Union sacrificed blood and treasure to admit these states into the Union, and they swore an oath.
00:58:33.000By seceding, they were in violation of their oath and effectively stealing that blood and treasure for, you know, for themselves.
00:58:40.000So he wrote that anyone, any man has a right to rebel against his government or leaders or authority or whatever.
00:58:49.000Just know that if you lose, you will have to live under their command and penalty from that point forward.
00:58:57.000So it's interesting actually reading what these guys wrote about what was going on back then.
00:59:05.000Donald Trump warns terrible things are about to happen to the U.S.
00:59:10.000This to me actually is more serious than I think a lot of people probably realize on the surface.
00:59:15.000The former president said that the temperature, because the temperature has to be brought down in this country, he's offering any assistance to the DOJ to try and calm things down.
00:59:27.000He says if it isn't, terrible things are going to happen.
00:59:30.000I think Donald Trump realizes when you see the story from Axios about a guy threatening FBI agents, about a guy going to an FBI field office, about, I mean, just the fact that they're going after a president.
00:59:41.000It's not so much that Trump realizes he's in trouble, that they're coming after him, but people are ready to snap in this country.
00:59:48.000And the left has long been ready to snap.
00:59:54.000When Trump says something like this, This creates, in my mind, an image of Trump sitting down at a desk, like, dead serious, more serious than he's ever been, being like, this is bad.
01:00:54.000And then when you start having bread lines in America, you see, you know, I see news reports where all the food banks are now have, you know, 40, 50 percent increase in how many people are lining up for food.
01:01:07.000I mean, If that starts happening, then you're going to see violence.
01:01:11.000Do you think that we're the richest country that Earth's ever seen?
01:01:51.000So, you can destroy a civil war by eroding, I mean, you can destroy a country by eroding it.
01:01:56.000The problem is, when you have a constitution, they struggle.
01:01:59.000You know, a hundred years on, they've been trying to get rid of the Second Amendment, and boy, it's just not really working out all that well, because there's new advancements, new technologies, they keep trying to pass new bills, there's active resistance.
01:02:11.000If there was no constitution, they'd have banned guns, 1850s, right?
01:02:48.000During the American Revolution, France came in with troops and funding because they knew it was basically help for them in their fight with Britain and they knew it was going to be bad for their enemies.
01:02:58.000During the Civil War, the American Civil War, there was funding coming from external countries to the North and South because there was a bet on who was going to win and your investments were riding on it.
01:03:08.000The CIA's funding regime changes has been doing it for decades, decades.
01:03:12.000I cannot imagine that in other countries, that their versions of CIA are not doing that in the United States.
01:03:17.000In fact, I would guess that they are essentially attempting to create coups within the United States.
01:03:57.000They tried in 91, but the CCP mowed down people in Tiananmen Square.
01:04:02.000I'll get a lot of... I probably will get people responding to me like, Ian, you've got the history all wrong, because I am looking at it through an American lens of media.
01:04:09.000But I remember seeing the tank driving down the street, the guy waving his hands to be like, hey, I'm a Chinese man.
01:04:30.000So you said that you think it's in the government, like working for the US government, that people have been co-opted by external governance.
01:04:40.000Well, I think that our government has been corrupted, especially the Biden family.
01:04:44.000I mean, you take a look at all the money that's come out of China to the Biden family, it's come out of Ukraine to the Biden family.
01:04:50.000I mean, there's serious payoffs there, and they're not the only ones.
01:04:54.000I mean, a lot of foreign money has flown, has gone to the Clinton family, to Even the Romney family.
01:05:02.000I mean, there's a lot of corruption here, and a lot of people are protecting their financial interests and are selling out the United States.
01:05:09.000And you have that combination of, as Yuri Bezmenov – what's his name?
01:06:09.000I find it hard not to think about Sri Lanka right now because they just had insane inflation and then their president was like, no, no, I'll step down after people stormed his home and office and then he got on a plane and still hadn't resigned and left the country, got denied entry to Singapore and kept going on.
01:06:25.000You know, when you wind it up, it's like, we also have high inflation and we also have a president that, or a former president that looks like he's about to be indicted.
01:06:33.000I mean, the instability is so parallel to countries that I don't think Americans are used to comparing themselves to, as haughty as that sounds.
01:06:41.000You're saying Sri Lanka is like the dry run?
01:06:44.000Yeah I mean I think it's hard not to be like you I mean you were just saying like well Trump has a president has a plane he could leave on like it's right there I mean the Sri Lankan president because he was president at the time took a military plane and because he can't be uh indicted or anything while he's a sitting president left with it like it's it sounds crazy this is while people were storming his office his house people were occupying the prime minister's house like it sounds crazy but at the same time you know, that kind of stress and chaos that high inflation
01:07:16.000brings, we are also feeling it in America. It's just on a micro level in comparison. It doesn't
01:07:21.000mean that things can't get out of hand in the same way. And we're just not used to being compared
01:07:26.000to countries that we think we are more stable than. It's that belief that it can't happen here. It
01:07:30.000can't happen here. We think this all the time. Even though it literally is happening. It's happening.
01:07:37.000It's fascinating to look at the circumstances in Portland, the various circumstances.
01:07:44.000I mean the firebombing of the federal building, but worse still is when Aaron Danielson got shot twice in the chest by that BLM guy.
01:07:51.000So I mean the feds went after that dude.
01:07:54.000Claimed he had a win for a gun, they ended up killing him.
01:07:57.000I'm like, that's kind of a crazy story.
01:07:59.000But you take all the street-level violence and then you add in the big hits.
01:08:05.000The former president had his home raided by the FBI.
01:08:08.000His former senior advisor, I believe, Bannon, what was Bannon's position?
01:08:21.000These things are, you know, I mentioned this last week, but I'm curious your thoughts, Nick.
01:08:28.000When we talk to people, or when I read history about some of these other countries where civil war happened or revolution happened, there's like always mass killings and conflict, and they always interview somebody who left, and Nazi Germany always being the easiest example for everybody.
01:08:42.000Why did, so a Jewish family leaves right before the Nazis rise to power, and why?
01:08:47.000And they say something like, we saw them dehumanizing and demonizing and thought we better get out of here before it's too late.
01:08:53.000Then you had many, even Kristallnacht, you know, the mass destruction of these Jewish businesses.
01:09:00.000People still stayed, you know, despite everything, but people still fled.
01:09:04.000When I see stuff like the former president being raided, When I see the FBI saying that symbols of American history are extremism, the Betsy Ross flag, the Gonzalez flag, the Gadsden flag, they're telling you your own history is extremism.
01:09:20.000Like, these are all signs that in any other country, at any other point in history, families were already fleeing, seeking safety in other countries.
01:10:26.000So you can probably find a video of it.
01:10:30.000The other thing I was going to say is, you know, the thing about the Trump raid at Mar-a-Lago, it being so galvanizing, to me it was like, I've seen this happening over and over again to private citizens in the United States.
01:11:47.000They said, thank God the person that rented there wasn't home.
01:11:51.000But they just basically handcuffed this couple out on their lawn, pulled the vehicles around their house so that they couldn't see what they were doing, and went inside for six hours and ransacked their house.
01:12:03.000And all the time they're saying, what are you here for?
01:13:30.000Another reason of this pardon, why I think a mass pardon is on the horizon, because it's like this Blackstone's formula, man.
01:13:37.000It's been echoing in my consciousness.
01:13:39.000It's better that we let a thousand guilty people go than somebody has to sit in prison that's innocent.
01:13:46.000I don't know about the, you know, to what extent we could do pardons, because I would not agree with like, you know, Hunter Biden being pardoned or anything like that.
01:13:55.000But I will say that I think we took a wrong turn when this country decided that we should hand off our responsibility towards personal protection to external governmental agencies.
01:14:05.000So it used to be the communities were self-policing.
01:14:08.000The local militia would take care of their local issues.
01:14:11.000And there was a duly elected sheriff and maybe a deputy.
01:14:14.000Nowadays, cities all have their own departments where they've monopolies on how to deal with these issues.
01:14:20.000And depending on how big the city is, it gets worse and worse.
01:14:22.000For instance, in New York, where you can't have a gun, you can't defend yourself, violating the Constitution and your rights.
01:14:27.000I think maybe the issue should just ultimately go back to, you know what?
01:14:31.000If we, you know, we need law enforcement and judicial judicial system for probably property crimes to deal with resolving those things, but in terms of, you know, any other kind of violent crime or robbery.
01:14:46.000I think 2A takes care of all that stuff.
01:14:50.000People should have their right to protect themselves, and we should restore responsibility to the greatest degree we can to the individuals.
01:14:56.000And so, you know, I'm mentioning that in terms of the pardoning of people perceived as being violent.
01:15:00.000I'm kind of like, yeah, you know what?
01:15:02.000If someone is convicted duly and it's proven they've done this beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their peers, by all means.
01:15:08.000You know, they've gone through due process.
01:15:10.000They can be deprived of their rights and locked up.
01:15:12.000But for the most part, I'm kind of like, you know, we don't need all these cops.
01:15:15.000We don't need to be dealing with this, this prison system if people were just armed like Second Amendment prescribes.
01:15:36.000That's why we do need some kind of system.
01:15:38.000But I think duly elected law enforcement, I'm talking about, we shouldn't be worried about walking down the street.
01:15:42.000No, we should have local law enforcement as the first gate, for sure.
01:15:48.000And that should even protect you from federal law enforcement that's gone overboard, or state law enforcement that's just gone overboard as your local law enforcement.
01:15:56.000And if there are none, then you have to take it on your own shoulders.
01:15:58.000That's what happened to these people that I was just talking about.
01:16:00.000They reached out to the sheriff, To say, you know, these people, the FBI, why were you allowing them to violate our rights this way?
01:16:11.000And the sheriff's job should have been to step in and protect them, but he wouldn't do anything.
01:16:23.000He knew about it after the fact, you know, and they asked him for help.
01:16:28.000Because what happens to these people most of the time is that these break-ins happen, and I've talked to a lot of people that this happened to, The FBI comes and terrorizes them, then breaks down their door and does whatever they do, and then they just never hear from them again.
01:16:43.000It's like they're sitting there waiting for charges.
01:17:36.000I was gonna ask you if you feel like local law enforcement for the most part feels like they have to see jurisdiction to the federal government.
01:17:42.000I mean from what I know which is very limited on how law enforcement works Often it becomes, once the federal government has, you know, whether it be, you know, the FBI or whatever, that once they get involved with something, they, you know, have jurisdiction, they are allowed to take the lead on whatever case they want.
01:18:01.000Often to the detriment, local law enforcement often feels like that hurts some of the cases they're working on.
01:18:06.000Well, it varies sheriff to sheriff, you know.
01:18:10.000The sheriff is the local law enforcement that's elected by those people, and you have strong ones and you have weak ones.
01:18:15.000Do you think if we had more, like, a better understanding of federalism and, like, the individual governments of state, people would feel like they could hold their elected sheriffs accountable to opposing the FBI?
01:18:27.000And a lot of the people who run for sheriff run on that platform.
01:18:30.000You know, we're going to protect your Second Amendment rights.
01:18:33.000We're going to make sure that, you know, the federal government can't come in and take your weapons.
01:18:37.000But then, when it happens, they're intimidated and they don't do anything.
01:18:43.000Do you think in some ways it's because they, you know, I just think about all the some of the COVID regulations and questions about like if you get money through Medicare or Medicaid you have to enforce the things the federal government has said.
01:18:56.000I wonder if it works in the same way with law enforcement.
01:18:58.000They aren't sure what pressure is being going to be put on them so they just don't act at all, you know.
01:19:05.000It's like the educational system, too.
01:19:08.000You know, there was so much federal money tied to mask mandates and to vaccine mandates that the school systems, in order to get that federal money, they decided that they have to comply.
01:19:20.000I mean, this is how we got the drinking age to where it is, right?
01:19:23.000They held the highway funding hostage until everyone would agree to make it 21.
01:19:34.000Okay, because North Carolina was one of the last holdouts.
01:19:38.000Or maybe it was South Carolina, I can't remember the story completely.
01:19:40.000But I remember them being like, no problem, federalism, we love it, except we aren't going to give you any money for your highways unless you comply.
01:19:48.000I mean, they got Shanghai into doing exactly what the federal government wants, which I think is how for the most part, You know, so much of this happens.
01:19:55.000I can only imagine what it's like to be a part of local law enforcement that, you know, worries what kind of funding they're going to get if they say no when they already know, you know, from my understanding, most local law enforcement is understaffed anyways.
01:20:10.000Well, Sheriff Villanova in Los Angeles County is really one of the better ones.
01:20:14.000He's been doing a really good job at standing up to some of the mask nonsense and all the federal mandates there, but it just varies, you know, place to place.
01:20:25.000When you were working on your movie, was, like, the role of local law enforcement in the investigation, did it come up a lot?
01:20:32.000In your movie on January 6th, your documentary.
01:20:35.000Well, no, because mostly what we wound up focusing on is the stories of people who, you know, were there on January 6th and who didn't really do anything wrong or violent and who subsequently got visited and persecuted and some of whom put in jail.
01:20:51.000And none of them said, I wish my local sheriff had stepped in?
01:20:54.000Or did they feel like their state law enforcement didn't have anything to do with it?
01:21:58.000So the email says, Evan Jim, we have learned that the filter agent seized three passports belonging to President Trump, two expired and one being his active diplomatic passport.
01:22:05.000We are returning them and they will be ready for pickup at WFO at 2 p.m.
01:24:32.000And one of them, I was told by somebody, a friend of his, he's there because he saw something that happened with Roseanne Boylan, one of the women who died on January 6th.
01:24:42.000He saw what happened there and they don't want him telling what he saw.
01:24:53.000But you know, it's like you start kind of trying to look for any kind of conspiracy theory, any kind of explanation for why they would hold somebody without charges for 18 months.
01:25:07.000I'm not a fan of the... I was just going to say, it's exactly what they say a lot of law enforcement does to people of color who are held on bad charges and are not fairly treated.
01:25:17.000It's, you know, it always bothers me that there's no consistency applied.
01:25:21.000If you believe in criminal justice reform, you should believe in it for everybody.
01:25:24.000But it's just, this is worth overlooking, I guess.
01:25:27.000Yeah, moral logic isn't the strong point of the left.
01:25:31.000That's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the death penalty, is that often people say it's just retribution.
01:25:35.000And I'm like, I don't know what is served through retribution, you know.
01:25:39.000I've seen more than enough movies, comics, anime, you name it, cartoons, where the protagonist explains revenge never makes the pain go away, it never solves the problem.
01:25:52.000I think it was even Batman explained it one time.
01:25:55.000So I see these stories and it's just like families, you know, I was told by someone when those families don't get the, you know, the justice of watching the person who, you know, committed the crime being put to death or whatever.
01:26:07.000I'm like, I don't know if retribution is going to solve anything for us or just an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, you know?
01:26:20.000I say if you get duly, you know, duly convicted or, you know, through due process or whatever, we have a big island somewhere and we just, there you go.
01:26:40.000Like one of those Scandinavian countries.
01:26:42.000Yeah, I think it's Sweden that does it.
01:26:45.000They have like a specific island and prisoners actually at the end would beg to leave it because they just, they want to eventually reserve.
01:27:16.000I don't know, but like you're saying they would rather be in jail in a cell?
01:27:19.000I think it's that they're so deprived from society, having been a part of it for so long.
01:27:23.000I haven't read that article, Time Magazine did an article about this a long time ago, I know we've talked about it before, and I haven't read it in quite some time, so I don't want to misquote it, but I remember there being intervening prisoners who were like, I wish I could leave, I don't want to be here.
01:27:36.000There are people in Scandinavian countries who want to go to jail because the jails are so nice.
01:27:42.000Yeah, I remember talking with some people I knew, because I'd been over there several times, and they were saying, like, a lot of young people talk about it.
01:28:01.000I used to know people, I grew up in a rural area but we did have a couple, you know, homeless people who would just come the winter get arrested for some crime where they'd be incarcerated through the winter months because it's really cold where I grew up and then they get released and, you know, for the most part they weren't in, they weren't concerned about building a record because their lives were sort of in turmoil anyways but they got food, shelter, you know, access to electricity during the most dangerous time of the year for the homeless which is the winter.
01:28:28.000There was that story, I can't remember which jurisdiction wanted to do this, but they wanted to pay criminals.
01:28:47.000But if you commit a crime, we'll stop paying you, but not forever.
01:28:50.000Like, you could then, like, it's like you went into, like, it's like if your parents stopped giving you an allowance for a little while, and you're like, okay, we'll try it again.
01:28:56.000The problem with that is then the dude is like, I'm about to steal a thousand dollar car.
01:29:00.000You know, it's a junker, but I could flip it real quick, but then I won't get that 500 bucks, but I will get a thousand dollar car.
01:29:09.000Well, we just need to give them more money.
01:29:11.000Oh yeah, just make them all millionaires.
01:29:13.000Then they'll become corporate criminals.
01:29:16.000But now with a million dollars, I'm going to set up a company that...
01:29:19.000I think it's like idealistic like they want to think oh well crime only stems from poverty and if we can fix poverty then we can stop crime and for some people that might be the case you know they're stealing because they need to they don't have the resources to get whatever's going on but for the most part that's not actually most motivation for crime and so we aren't really addressing the problem we're doing what we want to believe will solve the problem because of our morals but we lack the understanding it really bothers me a lot of studies of You know uh crimes or men and women in general will exclude men who are in prison and I feel like if we don't understand the people who are committing crimes then we can't really say what will rehabilitate them.
01:30:00.000We go off of what people who aren't incarcerated think will fix people.
01:30:04.000I thought Charles Manson was a missed opportunity.
01:30:06.000Part of me, I really wanted to interview him before he died because he never killed anybody.
01:31:21.000They were anti the system and they were anti the government and they had their own, you know, cultish worldview.
01:31:28.000I mean, it wasn't this UBI that I think it was San Francisco offered that wouldn't have stopped this in this cadence.
01:31:33.000And that's why I really think that, like, we just do ourselves a disservice by trying to Treat people who are in prison like we sort of understand them but also excluding them from a lot of psychological research because we're like oh well it's such a strange it's such a strange environment it's unusual power dynamics are different there but you're creating the system and that's where you're putting people who are incarcerated who then get released and it starts over again.
01:31:53.000I just thought of something funny So, like, you just said you have to pay him more money, right?
01:31:58.000Because if he's like, hey, I can steal this $1,000 laptop, I won't get the $500, but I get the laptop.
01:33:21.000They're, they're more animal than human.
01:33:23.000You could say, I mean, humans are animals, but they're more animal than consciousness or something.
01:33:28.000I mean, we're all consciousness animals, you know, but some of these people are just like, so this in the, in the carnal, you know, base reality that it's not impossible, but challenging to get through to them.
01:33:42.000And then I'm just watching it from afar.
01:33:43.000And I'm like, well, how do you, how do you deal with that?
01:34:58.000We're gonna have a stage and be able to do live shows, so we'll actually be able to have like musical guests on like Friday nights or something.
01:35:55.000How did it change your world to get that role?
01:35:59.000You know I just moved down there from New York.
01:36:01.000I'd been in New York for seven years doing theater and my wife had gotten pregnant and we moved back to North Carolina because we didn't want to have the baby in our fourth floor walk-up and started auditioning for little parts there in North Carolina.
01:36:14.000And went in and auditioned for Tony Scott.
01:36:18.000I remember my knees were shaking when I auditioned and I just thought, well, I screwed that up.
01:36:23.000And then like a month later they called me and they said, yeah, you got that part.
01:37:51.000I got to talk to Bobby Slayton, Deke's widow.
01:37:55.000Deke was not alive at the time we shot that, but a lot of the astronauts came down.
01:37:59.000We met like Tim Scott, I mean Dave Scott, and some of the other astronauts, but that was a great time.
01:38:07.000We shot in Orlando, got to shoot out on Cape Canaveral, and got to work with, I think I met every middle-aged white actor in Hollywood at that time.
01:39:11.000I just think it's fascinating and important and I think we actually want to put together maybe like put my thought process on it was put together a report to look at major historical moments from the lens of their current time based on what we've learned.
01:39:26.000So, you know, when you go back and start reading about Vietnam in these magazines, they're going to talk about how we were attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin.
01:39:33.000Now you look at the modern reporting on it, it's like, nope!
01:39:35.000It's going to be really fascinating to see the differences and disparities between what they were claiming and what ended up being, you know, true, or at least accepted as true.
01:39:46.000One quick sidebar from the Earth and Moon.
01:39:48.000The coolest thing that happened was that we got invited to show one episode of the show at the White House.
01:39:54.000So they flew about six of us in, and we had a screening there with Bill Clinton and Hillary, and I got to shake hands with Bill Clinton, which is a very interesting story, but it's long.
01:42:01.000Roddy Piper is the last fertile man on the face of the earth and the earth has been inhabited by frog people.
01:42:08.000So he's kidnapped by Sandal Bergman and a group of Amazonian women who are trying to preserve him because his sperm can produce actual human beings instead of frog people.
01:42:21.000And so the frog people are trying to kidnap Roddy and kill him.
01:42:35.000Maybe we can do like, this is one of the reasons I want to do a venue, because we could do special events where we like play a movie and then comment and then hang out.
01:44:39.000Hey, shout out to the guy that mentioned Fusion.
01:44:42.000They just released an article exclaiming that they have tested and confirmed ignition, which is the first time the system's putting out more energy than is going into it.
01:44:52.000Although I don't think they were able to keep it on.
01:44:54.000It's capturing the energy is the challenge.
01:44:57.000It's giving off so much heat, now they gotta figure out a way to restore, to get the heat to turn it back into electricity to keep the current going.
01:45:04.000But this is gonna... This is gonna be big.
01:45:07.000If they can stabilize, normalize, and get fusion out there, it's gonna be nuts.
01:45:17.000Not free, but the energy costs will become so insanely cheap that you're not even gonna notice.
01:45:22.000And the climate change people probably should freak out because what'll happen is there's not gonna be carbon emissions from it, but this energy will ramp up production to such an insane degree.
01:45:37.000The Bahamian Rain Man says, given her status as a moderate Democrat, would it be completely insane for either DeSantis or Trump to pick Tulsi Gabbard as their running mate, or probably even Bernie Sanders?
01:45:47.000It'd be such a reach across the aisle with an olive branch in hand.
01:45:50.000I mean, Tulsi just, didn't she just host for Tucker Carlson?
01:48:45.000So when I saw that the segment about it was doing really, really well, that just makes me feel really great because it means more people are going to learn about it.
01:48:51.000And we've got a bunch of restaurants and businesses around us that are on the app.
01:48:56.000So I'm like, that's where I'm going from now on.
01:51:05.000In order to pardon Hunter Biden, for instance, you've got to at least admit that there was a... Actually, could you pardon someone that hasn't committed any crimes?
01:51:11.000Could I just say, Hannah Clare, you're pardoned.
01:53:10.000We'll go to the members only and then talk about this.
01:53:13.000Cause you don't have any kids that are members only?
01:53:16.000Well, it's just we segment it in such that, like, people know if they turn this show on, we try to avoid, you know, we try to keep it like, you know, like if it was any other late night show.
01:53:27.000But the After Hours one, it's like, you know what you're getting into.
01:53:49.000I'm not advocating for fleeing the country.
01:53:52.000I'm pointing out that there have been points in history where people fled the country.
01:53:55.000There have been points in history where people stayed and defended their country and won.
01:53:58.000I'm just saying, we're at that point, like obviously I'm not leaving, you know?
01:54:01.000But when you start seeing the previous administration be arrested, investigated, all that crazy stuff, That is like, that happening is not a red flag.
01:55:35.000So I think it's a bit of a cynical view.
01:55:38.000The Orville, for those that aren't familiar, it's Seth MacFarlane's space show, kind of like Star Trek.
01:55:45.000They did an episode early on in 2017, in the second season, where one of the alien members of his crew, alien officers, He describes it as, if a human was born with a cleft lip, you would repair it, would you not?
01:56:31.000And there's a conflict over and then ultimately they de-transition the kid back to female.
01:56:37.000But here's the reason why I don't agree with they thought they were telling a transitioning story.
01:56:41.000The argument there is Seth MacFarlane was trying to be pro-sex change for children.
01:56:47.000I don't think so because the later story is that females from the planet of age are smuggling females off the planet to prevent sex changes of minors.
01:56:58.000Like, they're quite literally saying 17, 18, 20 year old, whatever, adult females are being smuggled off the planet so they don't have to undergo sex changes.
01:57:06.000Like, they were outright saying, like, you could argue that they were saying it was wrong to force a sex change on a minor or whatever, but the story was not that they were telling people to transition.
01:59:31.000I was like, I just, I just think that the simple thing is while there's obviously like people are on the fence about Ian, some people are often saying, you know, they don't like what he's saying.
01:59:40.000People say they love what he's saying.
01:59:42.000I think one of the problems a lot of shows face is like, I don't, I don't want to make a homogenous show.
01:59:46.000You know, like we need, we need somebody who, uh, is, is, is looking at things very, very differently.
01:59:51.000Someone actually had a really great super chat last week where they said Ian often reflects the public very well in how he sees things and thinks about them.
02:00:46.000When people talk about the militarization of police, they're often referring to heavy federal funding and subsidizing, which puts them basically in a de facto chain of command.
02:00:55.000But they're also talking about MRAPs and, you know, heavy armor and weapons.
02:00:59.000I don't think the issue is militarization.
02:01:02.000I don't care if a cop has armor and a rifle.
02:01:04.000I care that he's not suppressing my rights, by all means.
02:01:07.000You got armor and a rifle, the people got armor and rifles, good.
02:01:10.000Somebody shows up and wants to commit a crime, I hope you can stop them.
02:01:13.000If you see a regular person, you know, driving their car and then you illegally search their car, now we got a problem.
02:01:45.000It is basically behind the scenes with jokes.
02:01:48.000For people who are big fans of it, I'll just reiterate the last video we did, it's just not sustainable to have the degree of editing, filming, and everything you want to do.
02:01:58.000The show was making like a thousand bucks a month, but it was costing substantially more than that.
02:02:02.000And there were people saying things like, you were making money off it, you know it, and I'm like, no.
02:02:06.000But I don't like the idea of having 125,000 subscribers and then just being like, meh, didn't make enough, so all of you fans, you get nothing.
02:02:15.000I was like, okay, maybe if we can convince 500 to 1,000 of those subscribers to just pay 10 bucks a month as members to watch that and all our other content, we can keep the show going.
02:02:24.000And I think that's a better route to go considering we do want to do a vlog.
02:02:29.000We do want to film fun stuff and funny stuff here.
02:02:31.000We've got to find a way to make it work and it was just getting too expensive and we're subsidizing it.
02:02:35.000So maybe this will work now and create a new reason for people to become members at TimCast.com.
02:02:40.000Check out the After Hours show that's coming up and it's going to be really, really unfamily friendly.
