On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the latest in the ongoing investigation into the Trump administration's handling of the Uran Uranus Uranus scandal, and whether or not it is a good or bad thing. We also talk about why it took so long for the government to get their hands on the Uranus case.
00:00:18.000We knew that he was probably going to win or at least be favored by some margin to win, whether or not that panned out, or I think a lot of people still thought he was going to win.
00:00:26.000And they were trying to put him in jail to keep him from essentially being able to run.
00:00:31.000And it was it's one of these crimes where you can look at it and go, clearly, you had business leaders on both sides of the aisle come out and say, in New York City, like we we've done this stuff all the time.
00:00:41.000Nobody's ever been like charged for stuff like this.
00:00:43.000Plus there was no victim in the crime.
00:00:45.000The bank actually approved the loan and did their due diligence.
00:00:48.000Everybody was fine until you guys came in and started trying to do this to to stop him from running.
00:00:53.000And it seemed like this was just charge a charge, charge, charge, see what sticks.
00:00:56.000We did the undercover reporting, stacking charges to see if they could make a case.
00:01:00.000Um I understand that we could say that, but I I think listen, I think there's some merit in in being true to the principles of our side, even in the face of that.
00:01:10.000Now, some people are like, You're weak, man, you're gonna have to go after them.
00:01:14.000Listen, I do want to go after them when they've clearly broken the law, because I feel like things like this come up as political kind of footballs and then go away.
00:01:23.000And what we don't see is that they're never really gonna get anything out of this.
00:01:26.000And so I I am not for political theater.
00:01:29.000I am for putting the fear of God in people to make sure that they know if they commit a crime like this, then they will be prosecuted.
00:01:36.000But I think that really only happens when you get a conviction.
00:01:40.000I think the the the reality is that folks will get, you know, you'll get some airtime over having brought an indictment, but if you can't follow it through, it does start to hurt your credibility.
00:01:49.000And that's and and that's a big concern.
00:01:51.000Folks on the right who are saying, look, if you're gonna shoot, don't miss, right?
00:02:47.000The longer you wait to make this happen, the more it's gonna look like.
00:02:50.000So now let's say that the indictment is brought, right?
00:02:52.000An entitlement is returned on a true bill, it goes forward, and then a month from now they realize, hey, you know what, the evidence isn't that clear.
00:02:59.000It's gonna immediately be a chalk up win on the left.
00:03:19.000Well, and I know you're gonna stay with us for for chat, so if you guys have any questions for uh half white bill, I w I have one more question unless it's related to this.
00:04:06.000Like, I understand there is a place for some of things like this, but I want actual convictions, right?
00:04:12.000I I feel like, you know, every like Tim, like, we want people to pay for what they do, right?
00:04:17.000Like, we're not I'm I'm not a big fan of Pam going on Fox News and saying, hey, I'm gonna go after these guys and listing a bunch of names, but then nothing ever happens.
00:04:24.000Aaron Powell Yeah, I feel like if she doesn't make this happen, then all credibility of hers is lost.
00:04:30.000Like nobody But if there's any hope of saving anything, she's gotta actually go after people that break the law, but it needs to be really, really clear.
00:04:38.000So if you're and it seems like the only person that has any faith in her right now is the administration, m more namely Donald Trump.
00:04:44.000President Trump is like the only person left, I think, in America that has it was last week or earlier this week when he was saying she might go down as the greatest AG in American history.
00:04:56.000And if she doesn't follow through with this, um, you know, well, I think that's he's gonna have a problem with it because a reoccurrence of the Epstein list.
00:05:05.000I've got it on a good desk, it's coming out, right?
00:05:07.000Yeah, we've got Comey dead to rights, we're gonna bring the indictment, and if it falls apart, because listen to what we're saying.
00:05:13.000We're like, you pumped it up, so you set the expectation that it's gonna be something amazing and that it needs to happen.
00:05:19.000Because the reality might be is that he did know we can't prove it.
00:05:27.000Or it might be that he even admits he does it, but for some evidentiary reason, we can't get the indictment, right?
00:05:32.000So we're so focused on these milestones and then setting these expectations, letting them get dashed, and it's a win for the other side, it's demoralizing.
00:05:40.000And they run out into the media to to talk about these and champion like the fact that law and justice and order are being served and we're gonna get this guy, and then nothing ever happens with it.
00:05:48.000So it they add to it, they pump it up and then it doesn't do anything.
00:05:51.000Really quickly, last question on this case.
00:05:54.000Like what kind of punishment would potentially or what it what's the men and max, but what's reasonable for something like this?
00:06:00.000Aaron Powell So there's jail time, it's a few years, it's uh my recollection is single digits and then up to 250,000 dollar fine.
00:06:06.000So um this statute is very broad, right?
00:06:09.000I mean, it it covers a number of things.
00:06:11.000Uh it could be something very small related to you know, filling out forms with the government, it could be testimony on a matter of national security affecting an election.
00:06:19.000So the statute is very broad, um, but it would be jail time and monetary fine.
00:06:24.000I think to me, and and you know, check and chime in.
00:06:28.000I think to a lot of people, the the more important thing isn't the jail time or the fine 250,000 dollar fine, which he can afford.
00:06:34.000The most important thing is is for it to be out there and be like, look, we told you.
00:06:42.000We were telling you, they just showed a montage on CNN, laughing, making fun of Trump because he says, uh I I don't know if they're gonna do it.
00:06:48.000I I don't really care either way, but they have like a montage of him back to 2017 saying we got to prosecute Comey, and it'll be just uh an eye-opener for everybody.
00:06:59.000Yeah, well, let me and let me let me try and get a reasonable, like a reasonable middle ground result that it might be that we see behind the curtain, we see these underlying facts, and that this indictment is the way to bring attention to show that they knew it.
00:07:13.000But maybe there is not a way to get to the legal hurdle of proving the mindset of Comey when he was testifying that he knew those things, he remembered them.
00:07:22.000It is literally a defense to this that you forgot.
00:07:37.000If we're if enough people look at what he had in his files and the attention is on it, and you look and it discredits Comey and it discredits that administration, that's a real win because it allows America to go, okay, James Comey, not the best source.
00:07:53.000There was this nefarious things that were happening.
00:07:55.000So I want to manage those expectations to say you may not get that checkbox, the judgment, the liability, the jail time, but you might still prove the point that bad actors were doing bad things.
00:08:06.000Well, look, I think at the end of the day, we want to make sure that our politicians are held accountable.
00:08:10.000And unfortunately, in the age of Hillary Clinton and all of these other people that we have been talking about, there have been real crimes committed and no accountability whatsoever.
00:08:22.000Uh, and that's a real problem for us because that let puts us in a very strange space here where let's just say that Hillary Clinton was tried and convicted of deleting or having classified information on her remote server or all the stuff that was on her computer, the bleach bit and everything else, and that she deleted evidence and that she was spoliation or whatever it's called.
00:08:42.000Let's say that that happened and she just she served six months or she was just fined.
00:08:47.000But at least there's a conviction, you did something wrong, you paid a penalty for it, right?
00:08:51.000We could at least point back to that and go, okay, they're at least they're getting into this.
00:08:55.000They're actually holding people accountable.
00:08:57.000Right now, I think people f feel so much like nobody is being held accountable on either side, and Epstein, even though it seems like they knew all along what was going on.
00:09:06.000James O'Keefe just dropped a story about Epstein potentially being a CIA asset and working for Massad uh in some ways.
00:09:13.000Like there was there's a whole lot there, and we've all thought maybe that's a potential reality, but this was the first time I think somebody from the administration had said that that potentially could have had that information.
00:09:23.000Go make of it what you will, but check it out.
00:09:25.000I mean, people are so frustrated, they're like, you gotta convict somebody now.
00:09:30.000Here's the here's what I would say is listen a question to everyone here, even to chat, is if you knew that the Clintons were immune for every crime that they've ever been alleged to have done and the ones that they actually did, right?
00:09:54.000Because I would say in the short term, you've given up to the criminals, but you've smashed the conspiracy, right?
00:10:01.000You've pulled back the curtain on the machine.
00:10:04.000So is it justice that they got away, that they're not gonna live on an island and have billions of dollars or whatever it is they do with Soros?
00:10:11.000But how what is the short-term win and what is a long-term win?
00:10:14.000And I would say with Comey, whether there's an indictment or not, if you can pull back the curtain and show the lies and the conspiracy and the work and the active undermining of our president and our government and the system, that's a longer term.
00:10:28.000And look, when it comes to Bill and Hillary Clinton, I think the appropriate punishment is that Bill has to live with Hillary Clinton and have sex at least once a week for the rest of his life.
00:10:43.000Um let me let me do this, and then we're gonna take chat.
00:10:45.000I just want to spend a couple of minutes on this.
00:10:47.000Hillary Clinton actually went on uh what was it, uh morning Joe uh yesterday and had some interesting things to say about the Constitution.
00:10:57.000I think the story, our story is all the more glorious.
00:11:02.000Look at where we came from, what we fought through.
00:11:06.000I mean, even Abraham Lincoln's life, even Abraham Lincoln's own words, even Abraham Lincoln's own evolution.
00:11:14.000You can't look at this American story and not be proud because of that progress.
00:11:19.000Well, I wish you would record that and literally go play it outside the White House and the Congress 24-7 because I love my country and I love it, you know, more than all the people who are.
00:11:31.000And I'm proud of the fact you've got to be a good thing.
00:11:32.000Your love is shown in a work in progress.
00:11:35.000You know, we haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and we fought a civil war over part of it.
00:11:40.000And people have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of years uh that you know things were not as they should be, given our ideals and how we should be uh uh uh moving toward them.
00:11:52.000So that's what makes us so special as a country.
00:11:57.000And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men, uh a certain persuasion, uh certain religion, uh certain point of view, a certain ideology.
00:12:14.000It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.
00:12:56.000That's why it's a constant forming of a more perfect everyday union, and we have ups and downs, but hopefully the trajectory is up and to the right, even in some of the dips, we we we recover.
00:13:12.000Look at the country that we have today, and in Hillary Clinton's eyes, we were on the right track when it comes to, you know, my husband, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and maybe even as much as I didn't like old C now Joe, he was a little bit more my cup of tea.
00:14:04.000They want the opposite of what our founders set out to create.
00:14:10.000Warts and all means you understand that freedoms come with responsibilities, and it also comes with duties that people have to be able to have a voice in this country and vote.
00:14:21.000That's a conversation that we have just lost.
00:14:24.000I just I don't understand people like Hillary Clinton coming in and saying like we were getting better when everybody out there that is in any way remotely close to the center, Democrats or Republicans, and everybody on the right was saying, look at what we've done.
00:14:39.000My God, you have people out there claiming right now that we fought on the wrong side of World War II because of the state of our culture.
00:14:48.000Does that really sound like we're heading in the right direction to you?
00:14:55.000You want to create a system where the elites tell everybody else what to do.
00:15:00.000And not bring everybody up so that people can succeed based on their own merit, but bring everybody down so that everybody has just enough food for the day, maybe, if we allow it.
00:15:12.000That's the kind of perfect union I think Hillary Clinton and her ilk want.
00:15:16.000And listen, I for a long time have said, oh no, no, no.
00:15:18.000It's just, you know, they have a different idea of how to get to prosperity.
00:15:26.000People like her should have been put in jail for some of the stuff that she did.
00:15:29.000At the very least, right now, people like her need to be ignored.
00:15:32.000Because that kind of crap just does not sit.
00:15:35.000On the voting thing, really quickly, do you think it would be a great idea to, I don't know, open up the border to, let's say, a hundred million Muslims and let them come in and vote.
00:15:44.000Do you think they're gonna keep what we have, or do you think they're gonna vote for something else?
00:15:49.000Because they have no idea what freedom looks like.
00:15:52.000Coming from, say, Indonesia or Saudi Arabia.
00:16:36.000I think what she meant was uh we were on the right track until I lost a primary the uh to a white guy, so they let me run for president, I lost that, and now we're here.
00:17:00.000Prime Minister and President uh the Turkish leader, uh President Erdogan is at the White House, and Trump said, I'd like to have him stop by oil from Russia while Russia continues its rampage against Ukraine.
00:19:08.000Um so the illegality of carry one, we've got the division of state and federal, and so then we have the Constitution and its ability to say, okay, even the Bill of Rights can be relatively limited.
00:19:19.000And so what you need is you've got to be able to have cases that are going to challenge the specific states and their limitations.
00:19:24.000I'm not familiar with what exactly the limitations are in California, but if any of it's there, what it's got to be is it's gotta be specifically challenged, or you've got to apply your national precedent like Heller, etc.
00:19:35.000and get those courts to go, yep, you've got to strike down this specific statute or the specific regulation.
00:22:36.000Because that's a that's a problem for everybody.
00:22:38.000Um but when the right does anything even remotely close to that, you're canceled from every single thing and all of the potential avenues for promotion and everything else completely dry up and go away.
00:22:48.000And you lived through that with this show and kind of how it was treated for years and still is being treated that way, and yet they can spew some of the most vile crazy things and because they're on the left it seems not to matter.
00:23:00.000But anyway, the the YouTube thing yeah let's get to that.
00:23:03.000So you know the the the people are often they will say free speech, free speech, but it's actually remember back to even you know Adpocalypse, right?
00:23:11.000It was the issue of what is a private company allowed to do within its own rules.
00:23:15.000And our position had always been you can run your business how you want, you just can't engage in fraud, which is saying we allow this content to occur but then when we don't like it, we will either not not change the rules and take you off or we'll proactively change the rules retroactively right.
00:23:48.000So here when we have private companies who are taking action really what they're doing is they're being biased but that bias does not mean that it's a violation of free speech.
00:23:57.000They may be saying hey I'm gonna limit it right I'm gonna limit the kind of speech I have on this platform or just a digital town square basically saying who can and can't have a a shop to speak from it.
00:24:08.000So when you get to Section 230, right, that's a little bit different.
00:24:11.000It is and that's the case that never seems to come.
00:24:13.000Yeah you know and it seems like one of the most clear cut things I know that it didn't get into the legal jargon related to it and it gets more complicated but it's like it seems like a very clear thing that the president honestly if he signed an executive order tomorrow just clarifying and saying you got to pick a lane the world would be a better place because of it.
00:24:33.000All right let's ask the the the chat question on you still seems relevant.
00:24:36.000Uh Abraham Asmade S asks has YouTube released an official apology to Steven for the adpocalypse event and have you tracked what channels have been reinstated.
00:24:45.000We are tracking the channels so we're going to be keeping a list of those because one of the things and Gerald and I were just talking about this earlier and also Papa Crowder and I were talking about it before the show is what is going to be the kind of uh consequences that will happen now that there's an admission related to the Biden administration's suppression of certain accounts based on viewpoint.
00:25:04.000Is there an opportunity for uh recompense or is it just simply going to be a look we're gonna do better going forward.
00:25:10.000And here's the thing I would say on on yeah I like recompense that means guys that means give us the money best um but you know on one hand I would also say like we know people within these organizations who had been fighting the administration and had been threatened right so on one hand you're like okay um what what should they have done at the time we can say you should have done more you should have blown the whistle on it.
00:25:35.000Absolutely but is now our point going to be well throw them all in jail now because they cooperated with the government the one that had all the tanks right the one who said we'll yank all of your licenses we'll pressure you we'll get rid of you right um it it's a it's a thorny situation but we know they cooperated.
00:25:51.000We know they played ball and it can't go without punishment.
00:25:54.000It needs to there needs to be punishment.
00:25:56.000Honestly I think the I I think if I could speak for or from a creator perspective, not me, but like if I was in kind of place of the creators in general.
00:26:06.000Yeah no one thought you were a creator.
00:26:13.000I I think the creators would take recompense so like replace my lost wages because that's something that or my lost income because that's something that I can never get back and it you have to figure out how to approximate that over over time.
00:26:26.000And also make sure that something like this never happens again.
00:26:32.000And having kind of robust kind of features measure reparations, Gerald is that what you want?
00:26:38.000No not reparations because well I mean technically I guess so but in this case it's not like it's my great great great grandfather who didn't own any slaves at all being you know the bad guy.
00:26:47.000So this is like hey three, four years ago can't you get over it?
00:26:51.000What people own X and Twitter and all the other stuff.
00:26:55.000Listen I get it but at the same time it's like how how like not everybody is Steven Crowder.
00:27:43.000And so they just came and went because YouTube turned off the money.
00:27:46.000Like creators just disappear off the face of the planet because they said something really not all that controversial, and YouTube said, Well, this is not friendly.
00:27:54.000And we know that there are ways for YouTube to kind of segment out for advertisers so that they can make sure that some advertisers don't end up next to something they don't want to be next to.
00:28:01.000I think as advertisers, you have a right to say, hey, there's certain content, like uh we don't want to be a part of pornographic content.
00:28:59.000Oh who were the ones that were doing the pressure, who were the ones in the government, in the administration, how do we pull back the curtain on that?
00:29:05.000Because if what we're saying is we want to make sure that private citizens and businesses don't comply with the government, right?
00:29:14.000Really, what we should be looking at is how do we prevent government from being able to do that in the first place?
00:29:22.000We need to take this moment and go dive in as far as possible to find out how it happened.
00:29:27.000Who are the kinds of people on both sides of the government and the tech companies who were obeying, giving the commands, who are the ones who were obeying, reward the ones who weren't obeying, right?
00:29:38.000That's where we go when we talk about consequences.
00:29:40.000Stick with the rumbles and the other creators and the platforms that said we're not gonna go that way, right?
00:30:24.000With new scum and California Democrats putting laws in the books to find social media companies to obliterate free speech.
00:30:30.000What can we do to get this recognized as unconstitutional ASAP?
00:30:34.000So there's uh there are actually a number of organizations.
00:30:36.000I'll make sure to send them afterwards so we can add them into the sources.
00:30:39.000Uh, but a number of organizations that are documenting those specific laws and how we can go and challenge them on a First Amendment basis, right?
00:30:45.000So the the real issue here is you've got companies that are able to do certain types of speech.
00:30:50.000There are limitations to the First Amendment.
00:30:52.000But what Newsom has blatantly said in other California legislatures is we don't like how you interpret the First Amendment.
00:31:00.000We don't actually like the full extent of what the Supreme Court and the founders created around the First Amendment.
00:31:06.000And this gets into larger issues around the shape and the nature of the country and what are important values.
00:31:12.000But it it now, based on these laws, they're not even saying, hey, we we just kind of slightly interpret a little differently.
00:31:19.000Some of these are going almost full second amendment, saying, well, you know, these guys didn't really know what they were talking about with their muskets, and now they're saying, well, these guys didn't really know with their wigs and their free speech.
00:31:30.000Maybe we need to go ahead and curb that.
00:31:32.000And that's where funding these First Amendment groups is gonna be really important.
00:31:34.000Almost every important First Amendment case that ever came out came because of organizations that were willing to fund individuals whose speech was limited and be able to take that all the way up to the Supreme Court and get the right kind of precedent.
00:33:54.000Yeah, uh I think it all has to do with the ideology of the regime.
00:33:59.000Uh I mean that I think that was the the catalyst for this.
00:34:02.000And there, you know, there were a lot of people in the Iran thing, not to dive too deeply into that again.
00:34:06.000Uh, that thought that Iran was was not being truthful in their aspirations.
00:34:12.000And uh they had kind of this apocalyptic ideology at the top that was really one of the main problems.
00:34:17.000I don't I mean, I think the people of Iran by and large probably didn't want anything to do with this.
00:34:21.000There's been a lot of movements for freedom in Iran that have been kind of put down, mostly just by this kind of smaller but sizable group of people that are very um I don't know, i kind of extremist in their beliefs and the apocalyptic nature of their beliefs is not that they will be destroyed, so that people are like that's stupid, they'd never launch a nuclear war.
00:34:39.000Not that they wanted other people to be destroyed, and that there was kind of an apocalyptic climate globally that would usher in the 12th Imam and their preferred caliphate.
00:34:47.000So they have more of a they have more of a hive mentality.
00:35:00.000Hey, can I draw attention to CNN real quick?
00:35:02.000Uh the Governor Stein of North Carolina is talking about whether he's gonna sign uh I can't uh arenas arena's law after the stabbing on the bus.
00:36:32.000It's to talk about schizophrenics and how we can help them and make sure that they're not a danger to themselves, or more importantly, the public.
00:36:38.000I don't want them killing themselves, but I certainly would prefer that over them killing people in public.
00:37:45.000If someone on the right is attacked again and they fight back, do you think legacy media will go off the deep end and call the entire left to arms against us?
00:37:54.000I mean, if they if they're attacked and fight back, are you talking about like a situation where they're out in public or something like that and they're attacked, and then they maybe like some like a mob attacks them, they take out a gun and shoot somebody to defend themselves?
00:38:05.000Is that maybe maybe like a written house situation or something?
00:38:08.000Uh well listen, it does it doesn't matter.
00:38:10.000The written house situation was before really all of that was going like somebody just defending themselves, and they tried to fry a kid who literally was out there to try to help a community and was dealing with some of the worst people.
00:38:21.000I mean, he shot three times, hit three pedophiles, I think.
00:38:24.000It's kind of a really interesting record or shot twice.
00:38:26.000I think it was uh maybe I think maybe it was two pedophiles and one domestic abuser.
00:39:05.000You're a sick group of people that just and I when I say sick group of I mean all of you.
00:39:10.000All I mean, because apparently this is a universal thing that you like me admonished as even when I'm right, or like I'm not even like I don't understand.
00:39:19.000It's like it loot it's like a car alarm at this point.
00:39:21.000I'm like, I'm gonna be admonished for just saying hi.
00:39:45.000And they can get what they want when they pay them with limitations.
00:39:47.000They get what they pay for, but you look at the Look, I don't know how they do it in Notre Dame, but here we practice the reps in order to be good at game time.
00:40:43.000I I highly, highly recommend you do that.
00:40:46.000I cannot tell you how many conversations that I have had with people who see Jesus is risen.
00:40:51.000Uh change my mind shirt and go and just either say something or have a conversation about it, or it it's it's a great conversation starter.
00:40:59.000So listen, I know that sounds self-serving, and yes, you know, we sell merch and that's fine.
00:41:04.000But but when it comes to supporting the you know Department of Homeland Security and ICE and the agents, I go buy it from the Hodge twins.
00:41:11.000Go buy it from Bannon's shop, go buy it from TP USA, Alex Jones, pick your favorite, but just do it.
00:41:18.000That's the bycot mentality is that we want to support, especially when things like this happen.
00:41:22.000And they happen far too often, and the media tells you they don't care because they're like, oh, this happened, whatever, they're fine, oh this happened, no big deal moving on.
00:41:29.000It happens all the time, and these people need to know that we support them in their efforts, and we know that they're not going to be anybody's favorite because of it.
00:41:36.000Now, they may be ours, but they're not gonna be anybody on the left or anybody out in the media's because they're just gonna try to demonize them.
00:41:42.000So go support them, buy buy some merch, make sure you wear it, be proud about it.
00:41:46.000If people ask conversations or ask questions, don't be a jerk.
00:42:47.000I understand that the problem with it though.
00:42:49.000Uh you know, you may want to do that differently, but they they said, listen, we've tried that before.
00:42:53.000And honestly, it was kind of funny because they had had an internal debate about it just recently when I had this was like two years ago when we talked about it.
00:42:59.000Um yeah, they were like, nah, they just they just they just don't sell.
00:43:50.000If Hillary thinks we used to be on the right track, does that mean she wants to make America great again?
00:43:54.000No, she's saying that we used to be on the right track when we precisely got on the wrong track when the country went from not really having a race problem to having a race problem because a black guy was supposed to be a healing kind of thing as president, and it turns out all he did was stoke racism.
00:44:31.000We shouldn't have never let we should have never let them become a unified country because it's been like 40 years they started frickin' wars.
00:44:38.000A white guy invented the Pontiac Aztec.
00:44:40.000So I think you need to dial down this.
00:45:27.000I what I would say is this reminds me very much of is it that we need more laws or that we need a government and agencies and the people in those agencies to enforce the law?
00:45:37.000So so many times, like in the gun debate, people would go, well, how is it that we have, you know, we have all these rules and they're not enough?
00:45:42.000And it's like, well, we're not actually funding the rules that we have in place right now.
00:45:47.000So if we had more folks who are actually investigating Antifa, taking it seriously, is it that we don't have the resources or the laws to prosecute Antifa?
00:45:56.000It's that we're not focused on it, that we have agents or factions within these agencies or specific, you know, municipalities or law enforcement organizations who are not allowed to go after Antifa.
00:47:28.000I uh I uh I I think uh with the conspiracy like I understand that we've been lied to a lot, and you know, Megan uh Kelly got this question at an event recently within the last couple of days.
00:47:39.000I just saw a clip of it before the show.
00:47:42.000Well, there's there are a lot of people out there that want and desire your trust.
00:47:46.000Um obviously the the people watching Candace Owens, she's depending on your trust and your suspension of reality for at least a portion of what she says.
00:47:55.000Um I I think track record is what you really have to go after.
00:47:59.000I don't I don't trust anybody in the mainstream media.
00:48:01.000Not a single person, not a single main show host.
00:48:57.000A comedy show that really is because Steven couldn't find a late-night show that he really thought resonated with his generation or really can carried on the legacy of some of the earlier greater late-night shows.
00:49:07.000That show should not be the one that's outsourcing CNN and Fox and MSNBC and ABC station everywhere else.
00:49:13.000And and put in your favorite creators here.
00:49:17.000So then maybe some people are trying, they put up overlays and things like that, but they I want you to go do the research because you're the one that's going to be hit with a ton of false information.
00:49:24.000I need you trained on how to spot it, how to do the research, to figure it out, and also where to come to get A first step.
00:49:31.000I think we are a great place historically for that.
00:49:34.000We have a viewpoint, but we give you the sources.
00:50:38.000If you're dying for the faith and there's, you know, you're being a martyr and you're going out and speaking the word and telling you to stop speaking the word and you don't, and you're breaking their laws, that's a different thing than somebody just attacking you on the street because you're a Christian and you not defending yourself.
00:50:51.000I I think Christians sometimes get this Mamby Pambi view of Jesus where he was this, you know, peace, love, you know, let everybody live happily ever after kind of guy.
00:51:10.000Listen, he is trying to unite people in him.
00:51:15.000But that is the key fact here that a lot of people miss.
00:51:17.000It's not unity for the sake of unity, it's unity in Christ so that we can become more like Christ, and so that we are separating ourselves.
00:51:30.000Now you need to be careful what you call evil.
00:51:32.000When you call someone evil for some behaviors maybe that you don't like or positions that you disagree with, you have to be careful that you're actually seeing evil and not just disagreement.
00:51:42.000And when you defend yourself, that doesn't mean going out and proactively being violent against people, but it does mean that if violence does come to your door, that you do have a right, a God given right that we have recognized in this country to defend yourself and your family and your property.
00:52:20.000But if you have any question on if Jesus thought that self-defense was necessary, I believe it was right before the garden around the Garden of Gethsemane time.
00:52:42.000If you didn't believe in defending yourself, what do you need swords for?
00:52:46.000This is also the same Jesus that made a a whip and ran people out of the marketplace, the temple court, selling doves and everything, turning over money changers tables, completely uprooting their way of life and making money with a whip, knowing that we're temple guards.
00:53:02.000Do you think that Jesus really is saying, hey, just take every sling and arrow that comes at you and don't defend your family?
00:53:14.000But it's also very clear that we need to love people and view them as Christ does.
00:53:18.000He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.
00:53:20.000He wants all people to come to repentance and to be joined in unity with him.
00:53:24.000But when they make a decision that that is not what they're going to do, we got to be careful and understand, okay, you've made that decision.
00:53:31.000I'm not going to condemn you, but listen, you come a knocking, I'm defending my family.
00:53:35.000Part of defending our ideas is being able to speak on college campuses.
