Sure, can you turn the light on so I can find the remote?

Farber Debt Solutions, licensed insolvency trustees.
00:00:19.880
In the wee hours of the morning, around 1 a.m.,
00:00:23.240
a U-Haul vehicle being driven by an unknown individual
00:00:27.000
tried to reverse at high speed into law enforcement
00:00:30.660
in Alameda, California, who were aiming weapons at the vehicle,
00:00:37.840
This was at an anti-ice protest outside of the Coast Guard base,
00:00:44.580
for a potential upcoming ice action in the Bay Area.
00:00:48.000
However, Trump had called this off after an intervention
00:00:51.020
from big tech CEOs and other political elements,
00:00:55.240
So we don't know the real reason why he called it off,
00:01:06.020
We don't know if this person was truly intending
00:01:12.640
Two people were shot, the driver and a bystander.
00:01:15.240
We don't know if the bystander was involved in the protest,
00:01:26.560
which I believe has resulted in many federal agents
00:01:37.580
and a fear that this will only continue to escalate.
00:01:45.440
have been detaining U.S. citizens in these raids
00:02:10.000
and whether or not Donald Trump is truly a king.
00:02:15.200
Good sir, would you like to introduce yourself first?
00:02:17.540
Brian Shapiro, do a show called Pushing the Limits.
00:02:21.200
I am an independent that is extremely anti-Donald Trump.
00:02:25.520
We probably disagree on a lot of politics today, Tim,
00:02:29.260
but I appreciate you inviting me on the program
00:02:47.520
I'm Austin Padgett, the third pro-Trump panelist today.
00:02:59.100
This was the challenge, and that's why I was also like,
00:03:06.680
But it certainly does feel like a pile-on for Brian.
00:03:12.300
But we intentionally said, let's get a libertarian,
00:03:16.520
You'd have 100 magas here, and I wouldn't get it.
00:03:19.020
I was like, I'm a fairly moderate, I'm pro-Trump.
00:03:31.800
I can still say something that annoys people from all sides.
00:03:36.480
Yeah, you might have to pull the chair in or something.
00:03:46.140
I think the only person in this country that hates Trump more than I do
00:03:50.860
But I am extremely anti-Donald Trump for a lot of different reasons.
00:03:54.020
Well, let's start with this story that we just saw.
00:04:02.380
One of the most effective protests we have seen in the history of the United
00:04:04.980
States as following the protest, there are no kings.
00:04:11.560
But the actual claim there is that Donald Trump is a tyrant.
00:04:15.600
He wants to be a dictator and all of these things.
00:04:18.480
However, at the same time, we are seeing a string of an escalation of
00:04:21.960
political violence, terror attacks from the Tesla attacks to the ICE facility
00:04:25.900
And now liberals are claiming, or I should say the left, the anti-ICE,
00:04:30.100
that these actions from federal law enforcement officers in blue cities is
00:04:35.780
And so I don't know if someone wants to get – maybe you want to kick it off
00:04:38.440
Well, first of all, here are my issues with this.
00:04:40.100
Number one, you have a lot of agents across the country that are not identifying
00:04:44.520
themselves as agents outside of courtrooms, tackling people, outside of Home Depot.
00:04:54.420
You know, you can't just go somewhere and tackle somebody and not say you're law
00:05:00.900
Number two, most of the people, more than 50 percent of the people that are being
00:05:04.920
detained by ICE and or deported are nonviolent criminals.
00:05:08.220
We were told by the Trump administration that they were going to focus on very violent
00:05:16.580
Well, but it's – but you're asking me what my issues are with this, and I'm just
00:05:21.960
So I'll push back on that one because whether or not they want to prioritize versus who
00:05:27.020
they're actually deporting, it's a non sequitur.
00:05:30.420
I don't understand why – Trump said he was going to deport everybody.
00:05:33.800
He is – it appears they are targeting criminals, and they are largely also in this process
00:05:42.320
So are you comfortable, Tim, with people that have never committed a violent crime or a felony
00:05:56.160
Well, I'm just asking you if you're comfortable with that.
00:05:58.540
Am I comfortable in the circumstance where a criminal illegal alien who entered this country
00:06:04.100
– and we don't know to which number, so – I guess I could say there's certainly
00:06:10.260
going to be errors in any and all law enforcement.
00:06:12.740
Kamala Harris famously – I'm not saying you support her, but she famously had people
00:06:16.180
kept in prison beyond their release dates, using them as slave labor and things like
00:06:26.300
U.S. citizens being detained for 24 hours in New York shouldn't happen, but the question
00:06:37.300
To what degree are we going to accept nonviolent illegal immigrants being sent to – what is
00:06:48.420
And it's – well, nonviolent individuals should not.
00:06:52.240
Then there's another layer to the question, and that is what if the country will not accept
00:06:58.380
Now it's getting really muddy and messy because if we don't have extradition treaties
00:07:03.620
or treaties in general for handing deportations of foreign nationals, well, they don't just
00:07:11.280
So I'm not suggesting they should go to Cicot, but now we've got Kilmar going to, I guess,
00:07:17.420
Well, listen, I think 99 percent of the country would agree that if you're a violent criminal
00:07:22.280
in this country illegally, you should be deported.
00:07:27.180
I think there needs to be some sort of pathway to citizenship for people that are nonviolent
00:07:31.280
criminals that have lived in this country for decades, some of whom do pay taxes.
00:07:34.920
I think there's a better way to do it than the way the Trump administration is doing
00:07:39.360
I'm not one of those people that thinks that the borders should be wide open.
00:07:42.920
How many times are we going to do amnesty, though?
00:07:46.540
I understand that, but I also don't like it when Dr. Phil is there with a microphone
00:07:52.900
Obama deported a lot of people as well, but I don't think they enjoyed it.
00:07:55.960
I feel like, and this is my personal opinion, that those in the Trump administration and
00:08:02.460
Like they're liking the fact that families are being separated.
00:08:09.500
I can't debate how you feel about what Trump is doing.
00:08:13.280
Dr. Phil has said, hey, come on down here with Tom Homan and let's interview these people
00:08:20.440
I have a problem with making it into a reality show.
00:08:29.180
But listen, I just think you're asking me my thoughts on this whole situation, and I don't
00:08:35.500
Why is it that he wants white people from South Africa in this country with open arms, but he
00:08:40.140
doesn't want black people from South Africa in this country?
00:08:48.780
I think this was like three months ago, welcoming them with open arms with their families, but
00:08:55.780
Because there are white people being killed in South Africa.
00:08:57.900
Yeah, but why is it that he doesn't do the same for people of color?
00:09:03.880
The black people in South Africa are the majority and are the ones chanting, kill the
00:09:08.320
The government there is a black nationalist government.
00:09:12.500
You can say it's racial, but it's clearly also very politically aligned.
00:09:16.660
Like the politics of the South African grievance politics and the communism versus the European
00:09:24.580
descendant South Africans who are more free market and more in favor of property rights.
00:09:31.680
And there was a white guy, just an illegal immigrant, he was a police officer and they
00:09:37.100
So it's like, I don't think it lends itself to the argument when it's ten South Africans
00:09:44.280
Well, I think it comes down to compassion if we're talking about this situation.
00:09:47.940
And there are people in Trump's administration, and I know this goes into the healthcare situation,
00:09:53.100
but there are people that do not believe if you're an undocumented immigrant and you're
00:09:55.860
dropped off at an ER and you need life-saving care that you should not get that life-saving
00:09:59.840
care, that we should be asking for your paperwork.
00:10:01.920
That is not the country, Tim, that I want to live in.
00:10:06.180
I'm not saying undocumented immigrants should be getting free healthcare.
00:10:09.400
And by the way, they don't qualify for Obama's subsidies anyway.
00:10:12.060
But if somebody is dying and they're undocumented, okay, they should be able to get the care that
00:10:19.640
I mean, that argument works if Biden didn't let in on the low end 10 million illegal immigrants.
00:10:27.820
I'm not going to sit here and defend Biden when it comes to all the undocumented immigrants
00:10:35.740
So, you know, the famous saying, you must secure your own mask before securing the mask
00:10:42.020
And that's a great analogy because when the pressure drops, if you're too busy trying to
00:10:45.220
help someone else, you pass out and then no one gets out.
00:10:47.020
Let me flat out ask you, Tim, if somebody is undocumented in this country, I'm not even talking
00:10:52.020
Somebody who's in this country, undocumented immigrant, they're having a heart attack.
00:10:55.640
Do you believe that if they're dropped off at an ER, that those doctors should not be
00:11:00.000
asking them for their paperwork, that they should try to save their life first?
00:11:02.760
First and foremost, doctors should just provide, render aid to anybody who's ailing.
00:11:09.300
But there's some people that don't agree with you on that.
00:11:12.480
If like Tate had a heart attack, God forbid, at such a young age.
00:11:29.040
If a doctor said, well, hold on there, gosh darn minute, let me see some paperwork.
00:11:32.980
That means citizens are going to be denied emergency health care.
00:11:38.280
Like you'll die before the doctor can treat you if they're worried about your paperwork.
00:11:40.800
I don't want to live in a country where somebody is dying and they ask for their paperwork
00:11:44.900
Tim, I don't want to live in a country like that.
00:11:46.600
Because like I said, it's not even a question of illegal immigrants.
00:11:50.100
It's a question of literally anybody going to the hospital being stopped and before they're
00:12:00.280
People in the Trump administration do not agree with you on that.
00:12:02.160
That's a bit of an extreme example, though, because in emergency circumstances, however,
00:12:06.540
the argument of should illegal immigrants generally get medical treatment from our facilities
00:12:19.380
What if someone chose to the emergency room and they're like, something's wrong with my
00:12:24.940
Obviously, I'm not talking about, you know, if somebody said in the insert, you said
00:12:32.320
Most of the people in the emergency room are not getting life saving care.
00:12:35.120
Well, in any event someone's having a heart attack or bleeding out, they were shot, whatever.
00:12:41.940
But you go to the emergency room, what do you see?
00:12:43.560
People are all sitting in chairs waiting because the emergency.
00:12:46.360
So I went to the emergency room in August because I had my throat swole up so bad.
00:12:50.060
I thought I was going to I thought I was going to choke out and die.
00:12:53.020
Went there and I was like, my throat's killing me.
00:12:57.280
Tim, we live in one of the richest countries in the world.
00:13:01.720
But they demanded my papers when I went to the emergency room.
00:13:04.700
In fact, I watched them demand everyone's papers.
00:13:09.220
And when I walked in, every single person who walked up to the counter and said, here's
00:13:21.580
And even if it's an emergency, can't you check the ID or paperwork on the back end after
00:13:28.040
That you bring them in to do the life-saving care?
00:13:29.960
But here's what I don't understand, Tim, about your argument.
00:13:32.100
You know, you don't want these ERs to be crowded.
00:13:34.840
In the big and beautiful bill, which I would say that.
00:13:36.600
Well, it sounded to me like, you know, you want Americans to get care.
00:13:41.880
You don't want people in there that maybe have a hand pain.
00:13:45.060
So I said, one of the arguments is that emergency room care, medical care in general, shouldn't
00:13:55.480
15 to 20 million people are going to lose their Medicaid coverage.
00:13:57.860
When people lose their Medicaid coverage, they get sick.
00:14:01.980
When people go to the ER, those rooms get full.
00:14:06.440
I'm talking about Americans right now that are going to lose their Medicaid coverage.
00:14:12.420
One of the ways they saved money on the Medicare fraud was they looked through and looked how
00:14:16.680
many millionaires were collecting benefits and how much fraud.
00:14:20.500
There was a ton of fraud and a ton of millionaires.
00:14:23.660
And the Democrats want to give illegal immigrants health care.
00:14:28.500
But it's necessarily true because Democrats changed the definition of what an illegal immigrant
00:14:32.820
And now the ACA benefits will be extended to anybody who says the word asylum.
00:14:35.520
Well, 30 percent of people that are working right now are not offered medical benefits.
00:14:40.300
Okay, those are not lazy people, as many in the Trump administration would say.
00:14:44.020
Well, it doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about.
00:14:45.220
Well, it has to do with medical coverage and the fact that the guy who you support, Donald
00:14:51.300
20 million people are going to lose their medical coverage.
00:14:57.100
So they are giving illegal immigrants health care?
00:15:03.580
Okay, but 30 percent of the workforce, people that are working in this country, American
00:15:08.140
citizens, are not offered health care benefits.
00:15:13.020
And people in the Trump administration and people on the right want to make the argument,
00:15:22.540
I talked to the guys in the HHS who made this policy.
00:15:25.800
I talked to the guys in the HHS who identified the people who were either, it was either
00:15:34.760
Like there was a huge, obviously a ton of people are collecting benefits who shouldn't
00:15:41.460
And 15 to 20 million is, I mean, you could probably pull more than that without affecting
00:15:48.260
The point about people who don't get benefits or can't afford it, it's like there's no
00:15:52.380
reality where you go up to a Democrat or Republican and say, do you want to take
00:15:55.580
a working class Americans or a poor person's health care?
00:16:00.540
Well, like not, not of any, maybe a libertarian.
00:16:02.980
We can talk about how to make health care cheaper.
00:16:05.380
Out of those 15 to 20 million people that are going to be losing their Medicaid coverage
00:16:09.220
if the big and beautiful bill, you know, was it based on what he said that they were
00:16:16.600
There's always going to be a small percentage of people that are going to take advantage of
00:16:21.160
We can be talking about unemployment benefits, but many of these government benefits or
00:16:30.920
There's always going to be a small percentage of people that are going to take advantage
00:16:33.940
That doesn't mean the majority of the people should have to suffer for it.
00:16:38.860
People that are living paycheck to paycheck that are working.
00:16:41.380
The 30% of the people that are working right now that are not offered health care benefits.
00:16:47.960
It's not a majority, but it's still a lot of people.
00:16:50.940
You said a majority of people suffering then cited a minority.
00:16:59.680
The point is you're saying things that are consistently just not, it's a non sequitur over
00:17:05.740
It's like Donald Trump sending these troops and now the sky is cloudy.
00:17:09.460
And I'm like, okay, those things aren't related to each other.
00:17:13.620
We're talking about the emergency room, people that need care.
00:17:16.780
I'm telling you that millions and millions of Americans are going to be losing their
00:17:26.320
30% of people that are working are not offered health care.
00:17:34.280
30% of people not being offered by their job health care is not the same as Trump passing
00:17:43.780
Start off with 49% of the people that are working, that are offered health care, that
00:17:51.300
You can look up those stats if you don't believe me.
00:17:54.280
You're saying currently right now, 30% of people are not offered health care.
00:18:03.320
You're saying that bill will take health care away from people.
00:18:09.120
No, the 30% of people are on Medicaid right now.
00:18:19.440
Who are the people in this bill that are going to lose their health care?
00:18:25.300
The reason why I brought up the 30% is those are some of the people that are going to be
00:18:30.300
Okay, but you're asking me who's going to be losing their health care coverage.
00:18:33.140
Yes, there's going to be a percentage of people that are lazy.
00:18:37.920
There's going to be a small percentage of people that maybe are taking advantage of
00:18:41.400
There's also going to be a lot of Americans in this country that are working two or three
00:18:47.580
I would say it's not as small of a percent as you think.
00:18:50.440
And 15 to 20 million people easily fits in that range of...
00:18:56.600
So what is the bill doing that will take away Medicare or Medicaid from these people?
00:19:01.560
They are cutting medical benefits and Medicaid from people that they believe do not deserve
00:19:07.340
However, many of the people that are working are going to be losing their Medicaid coverage.
00:19:12.620
You could look up the bill and you could look up the literature in the bill and it specifically
00:19:16.140
doesn't say, well, if you're working, we're not going to take your medical coverage away.
00:19:23.320
You have to be working in order to receive benefits or something?
00:19:26.600
I think if they were taking away all this medical spending, then I would hear libertarians
00:19:33.280
Yeah, like Massey, for instance, said that the Republican version of the bill is basically
00:19:47.800
My understanding is that Democrats want it to be what it was before the big and beautiful
00:19:53.900
I don't believe this is a Chuck Schumer government shutdown.
00:19:59.400
So, like, the core of this debate over the government shutdown and the spending bill is
00:20:03.460
that Democrats want to extend the ACA benefits to refugees, asylum seekers, and DACA recipients.
00:20:10.140
Republicans said absolutely not because those are illegal immigrants.
00:20:14.600
When you talk about asylum seekers, I think that's some gray area.
00:20:19.220
But what Democrats want to put in place or to keep in place before the big and beautiful
00:20:29.020
Because they did have the other one, you know what I mean?
00:20:30.780
Well, I mean, look, I don't agree with the right blaming Chuck Schumer, you know, calling
00:20:38.540
I understand how many Democrat votes they need.
00:20:41.200
But the last government shutdown we had, last I remember, is back in 2019.
00:20:45.260
We didn't have one under the Joe Biden administration.
00:20:47.780
I could also tell you that if, you know, this is not...
00:20:51.420
They're putting it all on Chuck Schumer, the right, MAGA.
00:21:04.780
I think just crush the filibuster and then Democrats have no argument.
00:21:07.780
You know, I actually agree with Democrats on this one.
00:21:09.620
They're blaming the Republicans for the shutdown.
00:21:11.860
And the Republicans are countering, saying, well, it's because we need at least 60 votes
00:21:15.840
And I'm just like, or, or you get rid of the filibuster.
00:21:18.380
And then you make sure Democrats never win another election.
00:21:24.220
How many times did Mike Johnson say stay on vacation?
00:21:31.360
Is Hakeem Jeffries lying when he says Mike Johnson has not called him up to sit down and try
00:21:38.660
Like, we want to give health care benefits to illegal immigrants.
00:21:42.620
It's their job to try to negotiate with Democrats.
00:21:53.320
Look at all the people that aren't getting paid right now.
00:21:57.280
Well, we won't give health care to illegal immigrants.
00:21:59.680
You don't think that in Washington, D.C. right now, people don't need to negotiate and sit
00:22:05.360
down and come to terms and get somewhere in the middle?
00:22:10.400
They could just abolish the filibuster and reopen government in seconds.
00:22:14.880
But you're saying that you don't think that Mike Johnson should be reaching out to Democrats
00:22:18.720
when Democrats are reaching out to him and say, okay, listen, we might not get anywhere,
00:22:25.720
First, I would say, I already agreed, Republicans could shut this down in two seconds by ending
00:22:31.500
And everyone says, but Democrats will get back in power.
00:22:34.580
If Democrats get back in power, it's the least of their worries that they might ram, I should
00:22:39.820
try to avoid swearing, ram stuff through the Senate.
00:22:42.480
So maybe they should just, in the Senate, say, okay, filibuster's gone.
00:22:46.920
The other issue is Republicans want the government shut down.
00:22:49.660
And I don't care too much about the government shut down.
00:22:52.860
They want the government shut down because it's giving them pretext to start firing
00:22:55.680
tons of people, which is exactly what Trump wanted to do.
00:22:57.920
You don't care about brave men and women in uniform not getting paid?
00:23:01.860
Okay, but for a little while, they weren't getting paid.
00:23:06.360
People at the airport, TSA agents, and people all over the country that are not getting their
00:23:18.400
You're a bootlicking fascist who likes government authority and federal agents?
00:23:22.600
No, I'm actually a human being, and I feel like when people wake up and they go to work,
00:23:30.740
Yeah, see, I'm on the very libertarian spectrum of, I don't think government should be as
00:23:34.620
bloated as big as it is, and I actually voted for Trump because he said he was going to fire
00:23:39.320
So I'm fine with doing it slowly, but if Democrats are like, we want to give ACA benefits to non-citizens
00:23:45.100
so we won't reopen the government, and then Trump is like, I'm going to fire people.
00:23:48.960
Let's backtrack a little bit, Tim, for a moment.
00:23:51.800
Families and fathers and mothers that are working in all different types of different positions
00:23:56.900
in government jobs, they rely on that paycheck, and they're not getting a paycheck because
00:24:01.660
of a government shutdown, regardless of whether you blame the right or the left.
00:24:04.380
Immigrants should drop their illegal immigrants.
00:24:06.360
And your response to them would be, I don't care.
00:24:10.220
Well, one of the responses I could say is, stop relying on big, deady government to take
00:24:16.520
My first statement is, I'm sorry the Democrats did this to you.
00:24:20.360
Maybe if they didn't want to give ACA benefits to illegal immigrants, the government would
00:24:24.680
Now, Republicans could, as I already mentioned, end the filibuster right now and reopen government,
00:24:28.920
but they don't want to because Trump wants to fire a ton of people.
00:24:32.540
So I'm sitting back being like, well, it's a, what is it called?
00:24:35.520
The Xanatos Gambit, I was reading about this the other day, where no matter the outcome,
00:24:41.140
Trump's attitude is, if Democrats want to give illegal immigrants health care under ACA
00:24:45.800
and keep the government shut down, they won't give us the five, I think they need, what,
00:24:51.240
And he's like, okay, then the government's shut down, fine.
00:24:57.680
Because we can talk about police officers, civil servants, et cetera, which is the majority of
00:25:02.980
But the people that he's really targeting are the half a million million federal bureaucrats.
00:25:09.020
And they're getting huge payout packages, which is fine.
00:25:12.180
We could pay them four times their salaries to quit, and it would still be worth it because
00:25:17.520
they're the ones that are managing the economy without accountability and destroying innovation
00:25:30.180
It's just wild to be like, so let me get, I'll step back and give you my assessment.
00:25:38.760
I've met a lot of TSA agents when I travel, and they're fans, and I respect that.
00:25:42.740
But the agency itself, I think, is a bad expansion of government.
00:25:49.300
But the problem is, the government creates something, and then liberals defend it, or
00:25:55.640
independence, or whatever your argument is, right?
00:26:00.900
And once again, it's always going to be amnesty.
00:26:03.620
At a certain point, you've got to be like, guys, we're not doing it a fourth time.
00:26:11.960
And then the same thing with government agents and government shutdowns.
00:26:15.060
It's like, we've expanded the executive branch.
00:26:18.760
We've expanded federal law enforcement over and over and over again.
00:26:22.200
And instead of being like, maybe at some point we need to stop and say we're spending too
00:26:26.160
much and expanding government too much, we get the liberal side, which is, no, no, just
00:26:35.560
Defending the TSA, the liberals were angry about the TSA when H.W.
00:26:40.400
Yeah, it's the only time I've ever been sexually abused multiple times, which is actually a
00:26:46.140
And I understand this because I've long talked about the problems in a post-capitalist society
00:26:50.500
where, you know, I met a homeless guy a long time ago in Chicago, old black guy, and I
00:27:09.180
He worked at the post office for 20-some-odd years, never really a high-ranking guy or
00:27:14.720
Eventually, they said they were going to be shutting down, you know, his post office was
00:27:24.040
So the first thing he does, he starts collecting some benefits.
00:27:27.120
But then it's not enough to pay his rent and pay for food.
00:27:49.140
I can respect the individual and these circumstances.
00:27:52.040
But we also have to understand that we are building a system that is growing and growing
00:27:56.040
and growing and I'll put it like this because I've experienced this as a business owner.
00:28:01.080
When we try to look at costs, why are we spending so much money?
00:28:05.160
There is never one thing you're spending too much money on.
00:28:09.380
And so we're like, what are we doing over here with this skateboard stuff?
00:28:13.380
Like, honestly, we're not really spending that much money at all.
00:28:15.900
Okay, well, then what about some of these shows over here?
00:28:20.100
And I'm like, it's a snowflake and an avalanche.
00:28:22.280
No one is ever going to be happy when you have to do the cuts because it's going to
00:28:28.060
And an individual's worth is substantially more important than the amount of money you
00:28:33.800
But when you are cutting down costs, sometimes you have no choice and individuals are going
00:28:40.260
So let's be fiscally responsible by gold plating the White House.
00:28:48.040
I'm talking about gold plating the Oval Office.
00:28:51.500
Yeah, well, if you want to talk about being fiscally responsible, the guy who you support
00:28:58.460
We're not going to talk about one president's debt.
00:29:03.680
Because this is what libertarians complain about all the time, is that Trump's not cutting
00:29:07.940
Spending is largely determined by Congress, which makes it challenging anyways.
00:29:11.760
But if you can cut the cost of medicine in half through deregulation or most favored
00:29:16.340
nation negotiation, then you cut 13% of the federal budget.
00:29:23.580
Can I just go to the drugstore right now and get like, you know, a $5,000 check?
00:29:29.380
I think one of my issues is just that we've built a society that continually expects things
00:29:35.720
You know, it's like, I actually, I consider myself to be in favor of what I call universal
00:29:39.540
basic health care, meaning actually assessing the situation.
00:29:43.620
We have seen circumstances where like a kid got the flu and died.
00:29:46.320
And you're like, well, how does it happen in the 21st century?
00:29:52.900
I'm like, these are simple things that's, you know, it's not expensive to fish.
00:30:00.520
They're arguing for general universal health care, which would include cancer treatments
00:30:05.980
And I'll give you a specific example of where the limits are met.
00:30:09.180
There was a kid who had a genetic disorder for which there is a treatment.
00:30:11.640
The treatment is extremely rare and hard to produce and costs about a million dollars.
00:30:16.080
And the family argued that the state should pay the million dollars to give the kid his
00:30:22.400
And the state argued, we cannot do this for literally everyone.
00:30:27.360
And if you were to win this argument in court, how will the state fund a million dollar gene
00:30:32.080
therapy for everyone suffering from this illness?
00:30:35.140
So that's why universal health care is not possible.
00:30:41.720
And I'm curious, what is Donald Trump's health care plan?
00:30:44.280
For nine years, we've heard a replacement plan is coming to Obamacare.
00:30:59.280
All this stuff that we're going through with health care.
00:31:03.160
I'm not asking you what your opinions are on Obamacare.
00:31:05.200
What I'm asking you for is, what is Donald Trump's replacement plan?
00:31:23.360
Okay, so then why would I want a replacement plan?
00:31:25.580
Because Donald Trump is the guy who you support has been bitching about it for nine years.
00:31:30.880
When somebody complains about something and you're the president of the United States and
00:31:34.500
you call yourself a policymaker, you're supposed to come up with a replacement plan.
00:31:37.860
One of the reasons I support Trump is that he doesn't have one.
00:31:42.400
So you support a guy because for nine years he complains about a policy and in nine years
00:31:46.740
the imbecile doesn't come up with a replacement plan and that's why you support him?
00:31:53.260
You're acting like I want to replace Obamacare.
00:31:57.980
You just said you support a guy who's complained but done nothing.
00:32:03.320
He said, I'm going to come up with a replacement plan in two weeks.
00:32:14.720
You don't think that's important for the president of the United States who complains about Obama?
00:32:18.540
I actually don't like Obamacare, but my point is whether Donald Trump replaces or doesn't replace it, the health care system is broken, and it's not Trump's fault that it's broken.
00:32:28.180
He's focusing on the things that would actually fix the health care system.
00:32:30.520
And don't say you're going to come up with one.
00:32:33.600
If you tinker around insurance, you're not going to solve the problem.
00:32:37.720
If you just tinker around insurance, you're not going to solve the problem.
00:32:40.180
You need to go at the regulation, the farmer control of the industry, the AMA monopoly on standards, the licensing restrictions.
00:32:48.920
And there's many countries where – I mean it's not even legal to take stem cells here.
00:33:11.120
They can extract and then culture your stem cells, but they are nowhere near as effective as umbilical stem cells, and you have to get those in other things.
00:33:18.180
A lot of it is a technology and knowledge question, right?
00:33:20.720
If you just want to – the knowledge that it requires to make the machines, operate the machines, and do various tests, you could bring a full medical checkup down to like a $100 price point.
00:33:34.940
And we're talking about hospitals being over –
00:33:38.560
If it's flooded, what about the zoning around hospitals?
00:33:44.760
I agree with you that stem cell research – I believe that there's so much money involved in curing –
00:33:51.820
I think that they've done it in monkeys already, recreating a pancreas that can secrete insulin.
00:34:08.600
The problem of healthcare is not a Trump-centric problem.
00:34:12.000
And Trump's failure to figure out how to solve it is not – it's like, well, I wish he could, I guess.
00:34:17.040
It's not about a problem for nine years, but don't come up with any solutions.
00:34:28.180
But has been complaining about it for nine years.
00:34:30.240
I've been complaining about it for nine years, and I can't solve it either.
00:34:40.720
So complain about something as the president for nine years, but don't have any solutions.
00:34:45.640
Name every single president ever who complained about something and didn't solve the problem.
00:35:05.480
Okay, so come up with a replacement that won't fuck everything up.
00:35:09.060
But you support the guy who can't come up with it.
00:35:15.640
Obama fucked it up, and Trump's saying, I better not touch that.
00:35:18.600
I don't think Obama quote-unquote fucked it up.
00:35:20.360
Oh, he certainly fucked it up for me and my family.
00:35:26.080
I'm like, I don't know, maybe it's a good thing.
00:35:37.420
He brought up the ballroom out of nowhere, so he's bad about DHS.
00:35:42.980
The guy who you support for nine years have not come up with any solutions.
00:35:50.820
Trump just agreed a solution is the bureaucracy.
00:35:57.520
What would you suggest that he do to eliminate certain regulations or change certain regulations?
00:36:06.300
You're trying to paint me out as, you know, Obamacare is horrible.
00:36:16.060
First of all, there are people that did not have access to health care that have access to it.
00:36:19.840
Now, there's a lot of people that are on Medicaid right now that would never have access to it if not for Obamacare.
00:36:30.420
It's impossible to come up with an exact number.
00:36:33.800
Again, impossible to come up with an exact number.
00:36:40.940
You don't know the number of people it may have helped or it may have hurt.
00:36:48.340
So if the predicate of the argument is hurt some people, help some people.
00:36:51.960
And we don't know the exact numbers, but you benefited from it.
00:36:55.700
Then we actually don't have a strong position on Obamacare, which was kind of my point.
00:37:01.700
I'm kind of like it's kind of a moot point to me because this is health care has been screwed up forever, continues to be screwed up.
00:37:11.140
Why don't you have the same approach to the border?
00:37:20.520
But yet for decades, we've had undocumented immigrants coming into this country, whether it be George W. Bush or Barack Obama or Bill Clinton.
00:37:27.200
We've heard from decades and decades and decades.
00:37:37.240
But at the same time, you know, we could make arguments.
00:37:39.800
Well, do what they said they were going to do and let's get the violent criminals out of this country first.
00:37:46.160
At the RNC, they had signs that said mass deportations now.
00:37:49.300
Yeah, so this is another fake argument from the left.
00:37:53.200
The Trump administration said that they were going to deport all of them.
00:37:56.680
Tom Homan said their top priority multiple times.
00:38:03.620
Because over 60% of the people that are being deported.
00:38:07.840
But 6 out of 10 have never committed a violent crime in their life.
00:38:12.660
What percentage of illegal immigrants are violent criminals?
00:38:16.300
Do you think it means doing all of them first and then the other ones after?
00:38:18.960
Here's my idea of what prioritization wouldn't be, what they're doing right now, which is going outside of courtrooms, people that are seeking asylum and tackling them and arresting them.
00:38:27.840
That's not – to me, those aren't the people that we should be putting as a priority or sitting outside of home people.
00:38:31.940
Okay, we've got to slow down because once again – so here's – this is what I always find with people who are anti-Trump is you're making a lot of arguments that are not related to each other.
00:38:44.160
I have prioritized the field mouse problem in this building and I have told all of the staff here my priority is the field mice.
00:38:52.760
But one day Tate walks in and I caught a cricket and he goes, what the fuck are you doing to the crickets?
00:38:58.780
And I'm like, bro, we've got the field mouse traps everywhere.
00:39:00.940
You're just looking at the one instance where I've caught a cricket.
00:39:08.420
What has Donald Trump in the last nine years that has helped us when it comes to our healthcare?
00:39:12.060
You have no examples to prove they are not prioritizing violent criminals.
00:39:17.820
No, you're telling me that they've gotten people who are not violent criminals who perhaps are easier to apprehend.
00:39:23.580
The majority of people that they've apprehended are not violent.
00:39:26.680
But does that mean they're not focused or prioritizing criminals?
00:39:30.860
So getting ICE agents to show up outside of courtrooms is not a question of priority.
00:39:42.440
How many agents are focused on narco gangs, cartels, et cetera?
00:39:49.560
More people have been deported that are nonviolent criminals.
00:39:54.040
I figured the prioritization would be around tracking and identification.
00:39:55.160
I think you lack the cognitive ability to connect the dots.
00:39:57.640
No, I think I do, and I think this comes down to –
00:40:00.840
A priority doesn't mean the outcome is guaranteed.
00:40:04.680
So pointing out a bunch of nonviolent criminal aliens were arrested doesn't mean they're not prioritizing violent criminal aliens.
00:40:12.040
Okay, well, it doesn't appear to me that they are.
00:40:13.900
But that's, again, that's an opinion and not an argument.
00:40:16.040
Well, if you think that they are, then you're entitled to your opinion.
00:40:20.040
When you're tackling people and nonviolent criminals outside of courthouses in front of Home Depot or teachers, I've seen the videos.
00:40:29.220
They're showing up to the courthouse and telling you who they are.
00:40:33.360
These things you're pointing out are two different situations.
00:40:37.580
You also – you pointed out that 40% of those deported are violent criminals.
00:40:41.820
That's outsized from the percentage of legal immigrants that are here that are actually violent criminals.
00:40:44.920
So Trump is actually punching above his weight when it comes to deporting violent criminals.
00:41:01.900
This is the craziest whataboutism I've ever seen.
00:41:09.960
He wasn't sentenced, but he was convicted by a jury.
00:41:14.220
Was he found guilty or not guilty of 34 counts?
00:41:19.260
Why do you answer the – maybe you're the one with the cognitive difficulty.
00:41:25.840
So wait, the jury did not find Donald Trump guilty?
00:41:37.340
Wait, you just said a jury did not find him guilty.
00:41:42.180
Because Trump was never actually charged with any real crimes.
00:41:47.280
Is your argument – did a group of people come together and –
00:41:49.420
Whether you agree or not is not the question, okay?
00:41:51.680
Well, so we're having a conversation on the logic and the facts of the matter.
00:41:55.520
And the facts of the matter is Trump was not legitimately charged with any crime.
00:42:10.780
Did he not make up and falsify business records?
00:42:27.120
I'm going to mute you if you try and play that stupid stuff because you interrupt me while
00:42:32.900
Perhaps maybe it was a misdemeanor, falsification of business records from his CFO.
00:42:40.140
Don't cut me off when I say perhaps maybe to change the context of what I'm saying.
00:42:44.140
Donald Trump was accused of misdemeanor, falsification of business records by instructing a lower
00:42:50.580
We don't know he actually instructed, all because of Cohen making a claim about paying
00:42:57.640
This cannot be upgraded to a felony because it's what's called requiring an underlying crime,
00:43:03.200
which never in the history of the United States has been done before.
00:43:06.260
Donald Trump, in this charge, was convicted falsely –
00:43:25.780
Falsifying business records was certainly one of them.
00:43:31.640
Okay, so you're saying that the judge got it wrong, the jury got it wrong, he had the
00:43:35.200
For the love of all that is holy, this is the problem with this country.
00:43:57.060
What I know is that he was a 34-count felon convicted in a court of law.
00:44:09.340
You don't know what you're talking about, and you're zealously arguing for it.
00:44:13.580
You're the one who just looked me in the eye and told me that a jury did not find him guilty.
00:44:31.640
You can tell me what the charges are, but he was still convicted in a court of law.
00:44:38.480
That doesn't mean that I'm wrong with what I'm saying.
00:44:40.420
It certainly does because you don't know what you're talking about.
00:44:48.460
Of a criminal action for which falsification was an aggravated factor.
00:44:58.020
It is one of the most controversial cases in U.S. history where for the first time an aggravated charge was placed without the government proving an underlying case.
00:45:08.620
They upgraded misdemeanors which require an underlying crime, but they never proved a crime actually happened.
00:45:15.560
Then why couldn't his attorneys prove that in a court of law?
00:45:18.900
Bro, this is why it's under appeal and they have not issued a sentence yet.
00:45:28.800
Just because I can't name the charges doesn't mean he wasn't convicted in a court of law.
00:45:33.440
Well, he didn't falsify the records per se, but people that were doing –
00:45:45.100
You have more evidence than what the jury heard?
00:45:46.880
I have a good plenty of more evidence than you'd have found my arguments.
00:45:50.300
Okay, but did you have the evidence that the jury had?
00:45:53.760
Oh, you had all the evidence that the jury saw?
00:45:58.780
The American public was privy to the information and the jury testimony and juries gave –
00:46:13.680
Well, thank – by the way, congratulations on that.
00:46:22.680
So, Tim, if your daughter was 12 – I don't know how old she is, but if she was 12 or 13 years old and she was in a pageant and a creepy man went in there without her permission and talked about it sexually on the Howard Stern show, which he did.
00:46:42.000
We're talking about the moral aspect of Donald Trump now because we've talked about morals.
00:46:47.480
He's got serious decorum problems and attitude problems.
00:46:53.640
Forget about the legal argument for a moment, okay?
00:47:02.000
I'm talking about the moral aspect of why I don't support him, okay?
00:47:04.760
And I'm trying to have a conversation with you about morals.
00:47:07.940
Are you comfortable – you're comfortable with the leader of the free world being a liable sexual abuser who's had dozens of women that have accused him of rape or sexual assault, including his ex-wife in court documents?
00:47:17.540
It's all really – it's kind of really bad, isn't it?
00:47:20.340
I have trouble with the United States of America, especially because Barack Obama murdered a 16-year-old American citizen by bombing a civilian restaurant in Yemen.
00:47:36.660
For the same reason that people probably support Obama murdering children.
00:47:39.940
What was it about Kamala – name me one thing that Kamala Harris has done in her life that's not bad.
00:47:42.880
Let's slow down and say the issue at hand is we always call this the lesser of two evils.
00:47:47.400
And we could take a look at Donald Trump being slovenly and perverted and whatever you want to call him.
00:47:54.620
And I'm like, wow, this is why I didn't vote for him in 2016.
00:47:57.400
And then you can take a look at what else you're up against.
00:47:59.780
And you've got Joe Biden, warmongering crony who sold out this country to his brother for Iraqi contracts and 10 percent of the big guy and the list goes on.
00:48:08.060
You can take a look at the extension of the Obama administration where Obama killed tons of children.
00:48:14.400
He has the record for most children murdered by a Nobel Peace Prize holder.
00:48:18.940
And most notably was the extrajudicial assassinations of Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.
00:48:24.740
Now, you can make the arguments about Anwar al-Awlaki being a jihadi, but he wasn't American, and we have due process.
00:48:29.420
But then you get Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who was a 16-year-old American citizen who was at a civilian restaurant in Yemen, and Obama blew him up.
00:48:35.680
And when Obama was asked about it, he said, whoops, whoops.
00:48:38.540
And so they come to me and say, Trump's a pig, and I'm like, you got that right.
00:48:41.840
And then I've got to choose who I'm voting for on this one.
00:48:46.480
Well, Trump didn't run against Barack Obama, and I didn't vote for Barack Obama.
00:48:51.920
I'm asking about Donald Trump because you support Donald Trump.
00:48:54.720
And you're okay with supporting a pig who probably sexually abused a lot of people, who was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:49:01.680
Found liable in a court of law for sexually abusing E.G. Carroll.
00:49:09.100
Okay, well, let's talk about the 24, 25 other wins.
00:49:17.200
Barack Obama is a murderer, and yet he was never convicted.
00:49:22.640
Nothing ever proven, but you can make blatant statements, Tim.
00:49:28.300
When a court of law says a thing is true, that doesn't mean it's true.
00:49:32.040
So unproven in a court of law, but Barack Obama's a murderer, and you're totally okay saying that.
00:49:36.520
But Donald Trump never sexually abused anybody, even though liably found guilty in a court of law.
00:49:54.460
Okay, well, you can say that, and I can call you a hard MAGA right, but it doesn't mean that you're right.
00:49:58.900
But there's clearly distinct factions in the culture war, and there's a left and a right, which defines the overwhelming—
00:50:08.300
Okay, so Donald Trump never sexually abused anybody.
00:50:12.580
His own ex-wife in court documents in a deposition.
00:50:15.580
Under oath, his ex-wife said that he raped her, Tim.
00:50:20.240
He went into teenage girls' locker rooms without their permission.
00:50:31.980
I just talked about going into teenage girls' locker rooms.
00:50:35.200
Donald Trump bragged about it on the Howard Stern Show.
00:51:05.140
Unlike Barack Obama, which you had mentioned he's a murderer, you don't want to talk about
00:51:08.940
the fact that that's never been proven in a court of law, but you're still—
00:51:11.560
What does that have to do with what I asked you?
00:51:14.720
Because a jury found him liable for sexual abuse.
00:51:17.880
I don't have to know everything about the case and present it to you.
00:51:28.080
And try and dig through the facts to see if there's merit.
00:51:31.780
So everything on the right, when it comes to Donald Trump, there's no merit to it, even
00:51:35.120
though he's a convicted 34-count felon, but those were made up—
00:51:40.780
I don't have to know the crime to know that a jury found him guilty in a court of law.
00:51:50.220
Hey, sometimes the justice system gets it wrong.
00:51:54.180
Not my type is a better defense than the glove doesn't fit, I think.
00:51:59.340
We can just pause right here and say, to everybody who's listening, I think my point
00:52:03.900
is I can tell you the facts of these cases and why I have doubts, and you don't know
00:52:12.600
You can disagree with it, but—well, you can say incorrect until the cows come home.
00:52:15.900
He wasn't sentenced, but he was convicted on 34 felony counts.
00:52:29.200
He doesn't know who was accused of falsifying what—
00:52:31.760
I don't have all 34 charges in front of me, but it doesn't—just because I can't
00:52:35.560
Wouldn't it be prudent of you to actually investigate these things before parroting
00:52:47.260
Why do you—what do you think Trump did wrong in that case?
00:52:50.000
You're talking about E. Gene Carroll, or are you talking about—
00:52:57.680
Well, falsifying business records was what he was charged with.
00:53:06.640
I'm asking you the specifics of what did you find that he did wrong.
00:53:12.240
Are you going to give me a specific example, or are you going to change the subject again?
00:53:19.460
Okay, here's the answer that I'm going to give you.
00:53:22.800
I don't know all the ins and outs of this case.
00:53:28.600
Regardless of what your opinions are on the case and what you might think are valid that
00:53:32.880
he didn't do anything wrong, what you might think are valid that he never sexually abused
00:53:35.960
a woman, here's the bottom line, whether you like it or not.
00:53:39.060
A jury found him guilty on 34 counts that you obviously disagree with.
00:53:43.480
Whether I know the ins and outs of the case is irrelevant.
00:53:45.500
The fact of the matter is, is that he is a 34 count felon.
00:53:49.720
The fact of the matter is that he's a liable sexual abuser.
00:53:52.740
Actually, in order, so this is actually legally distinct, to be-
00:54:03.360
The reason why he wasn't sentenced is because he won the presidency.
00:54:08.180
And it's been over a year since the appellate court was prepared to issue their role.
00:54:11.600
I'll tell you what, if he wins his appeal, I will come on this show and I will say,
00:54:28.380
Again, there you go back again, trying to quiz me on what the-
00:54:42.360
Donald Trump did a backflip, and here's why it was wrong.
00:54:44.840
Well, actually, backflips have been long protected.
00:54:46.840
I'm saying, Donald Trump was accused of these specific things, and you say, I don't know,
00:54:50.640
And I'm like, okay, then we're not having a debate.
00:54:52.540
You're just saying, I read in the news Trump was convicted, and I say, okay.
00:54:55.480
I think it's important to drill down, because then you can compare it to other similar situations
00:54:59.380
and whether people have been charged by that, and then that's the way that you can suss
00:55:03.100
out whether it was lawfare or something unusual.
00:55:04.980
Indeed, but even outside of that, it's that when an individual is convicted of a crime,
00:55:09.180
it is prudent of a society to analyze whether or not this is a legitimate use of the judiciary,
00:55:16.640
So you don't like people that accuse other people of things.
00:55:18.540
And the point I'm making is, I don't believe law dictates morality.
00:55:23.300
I don't believe just because something is legal, it is correct.
00:55:25.820
And I don't blindly trust when an authority figure says, trust me, this person's bad.
00:55:30.760
That's why I oppose the death penalty, because there's going to be some authority figure says,
00:55:34.600
you don't need the fact of the case, kill this man.
00:55:38.740
So in the issue of Donald Trump in New York, he was not actually legitimately charged under
00:55:43.700
any crime, and it's unprecedented in U.S. history.
00:55:47.700
Trump was charged under 34 counts of misdemeanor, falsification of business records with no
00:55:55.460
They then said, OK, I guess, upgrade it to a felony.
00:56:01.100
This is why it's currently an appeal, because Trump was never actually charged with the
00:56:04.760
underlying crime required for an aggravated charge.
00:56:09.340
So let's just say you're 100 percent right and I'm 100 percent wrong.
00:56:14.460
I'm not quite sure, but let's just assume that for a moment.
00:56:17.280
I was talking also about the moralities of the case, and you were asking me about E.
00:56:23.100
And while I don't want to go into the details of that case, I wasn't there.
00:56:28.600
OK, but he was, again, it goes back to what I said earlier.
00:56:35.440
The judge characterized it as rape, as penetrating her with his fingers.
00:56:48.540
But the point is, he has a track record with how he has treated women from a moral standpoint.
00:56:54.200
How was it that E. Jean Carroll was able to bring a case 30 years after the fact?
00:57:01.080
So by your argument, Bill Cosby's never raped anybody before.
00:57:05.460
And by your logic, because it was 30 years ago, it couldn't have happened?
00:57:13.520
I think the issue is you're so ignorant on these issues.
00:57:20.000
You're unwilling to put any responsibility on Donald Trump or anything.
00:57:27.520
So let's – and this is a liability case, not a legality case.
00:57:31.480
So the pretext by which the case came about is extremely important in law.
00:57:35.720
And I'm asking you the details because you don't know.
00:57:41.000
All I said to you – and you want to quiz me on these cases, but all I –
00:57:54.980
If I get three guys to come in here with badges on and they say you're a rapist, are you a rapist?
00:58:00.620
If I'm found liable in a court of law, I could be liable for sexual abuse.
00:58:05.320
I'm pretty sure if three cops came in here and it was presented in a courtroom, my attorneys would defend me and I would –
00:58:11.740
Oh, so you're saying Trump paid off – or I'm sorry.
00:58:15.080
I'm asking you a question to understand your moral worldview.
00:58:18.920
I'm asking you a question to determine what your moral worldview is.
00:58:22.460
You keep changing the subject and interrupting when I ask these questions.
00:58:26.180
If a judge is bribed and sentenced you – finds you liable of rape, are you a rapist?
00:58:31.340
If it's proven that a judge has been bribed, then obviously you would probably win on appeal, right?
00:58:40.120
I mean, the question was, would you be a rapist?
00:58:42.680
Would you consider a person to be a rapist if a judge was paid off to do it?
00:58:51.440
In a circumstance where a judge is – it's not a legitimate ruling.
00:58:56.600
If it's proven, obviously, that if a judge is paid off, then obviously –
00:59:01.960
Meaning it wasn't actually able to be brought into a court, but he did anyway.
00:59:05.480
So being bribed and your opinion of being illicitly brought are two completely different things.
00:59:11.080
If a judge brought forth a case – or I should say, a case was brought to a judge that did
00:59:15.700
not have legal merit to be entered into court of law – we're doing anyway – and then
00:59:24.780
Well, you're making the case that that's what happened here in the E. Gene Carroll case.
00:59:29.060
I'm trying to suss out your moral worldview on when do you determine that an act of a
00:59:43.300
The point of this is if your argument is the very blanket, a guy said a thing, we can
00:59:50.300
If the question is, did Trump in a legitimate setting face these claims and convictions,
00:59:59.260
And I can break it all down fact by fact, detail by detail.
01:00:02.160
Specifically with the E. Gene Carroll case, there's numerous factors as to why this is
01:00:09.020
Notably, that the New York state legislature passed – it might have been – I think
01:00:12.560
it was the state – passed a law allowing claims beyond the statute of limitations for
01:00:17.580
a period of one year to be brought up for civil action.
01:00:21.440
The only person who picked it up was E. Gene Carroll, and then it disappeared.
01:00:26.580
Additionally, E. Gene Carroll's story made literally no sense.
01:00:30.740
She claimed to have been wearing clothes that didn't exist.
01:00:32.960
She claimed to have access to rooms that she did not have access to.
01:00:35.580
And Trump, the most famous man in New York, instead of going into his hotel across the
01:00:40.860
street from the Bergdorf Goodman, went into a crowded building where there was no one for
01:00:47.160
And we can sit here and say, well, that story is certainly strange.
01:00:50.520
But why did she claim to have clothes that didn't come – why was she claimed to be wearing
01:00:55.000
A specific dress that wasn't released until years later.
01:00:57.420
More importantly, she didn't have a key to that room, nor did Trump.
01:01:00.580
And she also said the Bergdorf Goodman, one of the busiest stores in New York, had no
01:01:09.140
And the New York state legislature passed a law allowing her to bring it.
01:01:15.040
The only thing that I said, Tim, was that he is a liable sexual abuser.
01:01:18.660
Now, we could have disagreements on whether you think it's credible or not.
01:01:26.560
I think when government makes claims, they have to prove it.
01:01:31.660
So when I see a guy who's clearly innocent on death row, I don't call him a murderer.
01:01:46.900
My point is when you have people on death row – I oppose the death penalty – who are
01:01:52.440
However, if the state falsifies evidence, and they've done this on numerous occasions
01:01:57.340
to imprison innocent people, the state is the criminal.
01:02:09.400
While we have a lot of disagreements on Donald Trump, whether he's a criminal or not,
01:02:20.720
I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying here.
01:02:24.260
The difference between us is you trust government.
01:02:36.080
Here's what I will say, Tim, and then I'm sure you want to move on to some other stuff.
01:02:41.460
All I'm simply saying is I gave you my moral –
01:02:55.260
I think you're emotionally offended by Trump as a character, so you're willing to entertain
01:03:00.440
illicit government action because you don't like the man.
01:03:02.780
No, I think there's a lot of reasons why I don't like Donald Trump.
01:03:05.220
There's a policy standpoint of it, and then there's the moral standpoint of it.
01:03:24.380
Having unprotected sex with a porn star two weeks after Barron is born, that you think
01:03:28.880
I don't think a single action could define a man who's got great kids who have been very successful.
01:03:32.740
I think people are neither absolutely good or absolutely evil.
01:03:36.860
There's varying degrees of whether someone could be good, bad, or otherwise, and Donald
01:03:41.540
Trump has certainly done things that knock him down a peg or two and bring him down to
01:03:44.780
the lower tier, but he's done a pretty good job with his family, indeed.
01:03:49.820
His kids are well-adjusted, successful individuals.
01:03:54.600
Even Hillary Clinton on the debate stage said he's a good father.
01:03:57.380
This weird puritanical argument doesn't work on me.
01:04:03.200
Right, so when you say Donald Trump banged a lot of people, I'd be like, certainly did.
01:04:08.740
That's the narrative context of all this, right?
01:04:10.360
Because the big thing that Dems blamed Hillary's loss on in 2016 was that she was accused of
01:04:15.340
being a felon, and they thought that that made a big difference, and it did make a difference,
01:04:19.780
but they thought that if they could throw that felon label onto Trump, then there was an
01:04:24.560
opportunity to get that to do the same thing that happened to Hillary.
01:04:28.680
But they don't realize there were a lot more intangibles under that besides the felony
01:04:33.220
accusation, which is why Trump was able to spin it as an outlaw.
01:04:39.680
I agree, like, the law is important, which is why it's so important that we, like, really
01:04:44.540
suss out whether there's political lawfare, because that undermines the whole trust in
01:04:49.440
the entire legal system, and then you just have chaos.
01:04:55.580
If you're making an argument that, like, some Christian Catholic person might agree
01:04:59.840
with, it might work on a Catholic Christian or whatever, or conservative, I'm an urban
01:05:03.860
liberal moderate, and I think Trump has certainly sinned quite a great deal.
01:05:08.540
But people having done bad things does not define them as—
01:05:13.760
A singular bad action doesn't make someone a bad person.
01:05:18.020
Well, there are questions of whether being with a guy one time makes you gay.
01:05:31.120
But after, you know, meeting with Trump and having dinner with him, there were a few examples
01:05:36.320
that stuck out, which seemed, like, really hard to fake empathetic impulses, including around
01:05:43.640
When we were talking about how Hillary got maybe pushed, maybe not pushed by the Secret Service
01:05:50.120
And he's like, you know, that's actually not really nice.
01:05:54.860
A guy wouldn't say—when he talked about John McCain and he said he didn't respect
01:05:58.200
him because he was captured, I tend not to like people who were captured.
01:06:00.940
I felt that should have been disqualifying right there.
01:06:02.900
I was mad when he made fun of Rand Paul's hair, but then he started debating Hillary and
01:06:18.780
When you say you don't respect somebody because they were captured, can you admit and agree
01:06:23.020
with me that that is just an awful, despicable thing to say?
01:06:26.940
I don't think the Zoomers are going to care about that, though, because they've lost
01:06:30.680
When John McCain died, there are so many people that I know that just mercilessly attacked
01:06:36.820
And I certainly didn't like him for those reasons.
01:06:38.620
But Lord have mercy, the man was tortured for years.
01:06:45.980
And I said nothing but nice things when he died despite really despising him.
01:06:51.360
I thought when he took the microphone from that woman, if you remember that moment when
01:06:54.680
the woman's called Barack Hussein Obama, I thought that was a great moment for the country.
01:06:58.580
And Tim, I guess my point is Donald Trump would never do that.
01:07:05.280
And yeah, I don't have the 34 counts in front of me.
01:07:12.020
I'll tell you what I see happening in this country.
01:07:13.440
There's a million and one ways to describe it, but it looks like there are many people
01:07:19.840
And that doesn't mean that they're Democrats or overtly politically liberal.
01:07:29.660
It's always going to be bad, whether, you know, like, for example, is like the East
01:07:32.620
Wing thing happening right now, like the fake outrage over tearing down the East Wing is
01:07:43.740
I'm just saying there's all these liberals that are coming out aghast that there's a
01:07:47.760
And we had we had the worst riots in 50 years where all of our statues are being torn.
01:07:52.800
I'm talking about Thomas Jefferson, Hans Christian Haag, Frederick Douglass.
01:07:57.540
And so when you see the incongruent political ideology, then we're like, OK, I don't think
01:08:03.100
some of these people are legitimately concerned about Trump's policies.
01:08:07.660
For the record, I don't agree with any Democrat that was celebrating that stuff.
01:08:12.380
But yeah, but if you're going to talk about that, about celebrating people who do criminal
01:08:18.900
Well, if you're tearing down statues property, obviously, that's against the law.
01:08:23.500
Well, I'm not I'm not arguing about the the the political criminal.
01:08:26.560
I'm arguing I'm arguing the political, not the criminal.
01:08:30.620
OK, so there are certain degrees of civil disobedience and actions that January 6th was
01:08:36.940
And there are certain things that I'm OK with and not OK with, because what we're really
01:08:41.740
For instance, riots in Dublin over the rape of a 10 year old girl.
01:08:45.560
And the reaction from the right is going to be like, we don't like riots, but man, we
01:08:49.620
really understand why they're mad at the cops over this one.
01:08:52.240
And then you get BLM riots and you're like, OK, these people are crazy.
01:09:00.940
But you would empathize with those who share your moral worldview.
01:09:03.240
So in the instance of political civil disobedience, I'm not criticizing, at least for now, the
01:09:10.360
violent criminal action of destroying property.
01:09:13.440
I'm criticizing the they desecrated American history, symbols and figures and are now acting
01:09:19.880
aghast as though Trump remodeling the building is worse.
01:09:23.560
They were supportive of one and they oppose the other.
01:09:27.180
So, I mean, I understand where you're going with that, but again, we can go back to not
01:09:31.260
to do whataboutism, but we can go back to January 6th and the desecrating on Nancy Pelosi's
01:09:38.180
Well, the guy who you voted for called them hostages and patriots.
01:09:45.760
So you don't think it sets a bad precedence, Tim?
01:09:48.140
When the president, hold on, let me just finish.
01:09:49.740
When the president of the United States calls people hostages and patriots who beat police officers
01:09:55.900
Some of those officers now have traumatic brain injury and you're totally fine and you
01:10:02.940
I called for the arrest of all of these people.
01:10:08.900
I mean, like if a guy says thing, I'm not Trump.
01:10:18.440
You keep playing this absolute game where it's like you're a supporter there for everything
01:10:24.960
You should again calling out what you're when somebody beats a police officer with
01:10:31.800
And the president calls them hostages and patriots.
01:10:39.220
Because Trump's talking about a general group of people, not an individual who did one thing.
01:10:44.480
And a lot of these people were innocent and were wrongly convicted.
01:10:49.620
The point that I was simply trying to make was true.
01:10:51.360
So when you have this when you have this issue of, you know, a group of rioters on January
01:10:59.480
First thing I said was lock them up, send them to prison.
01:11:04.620
And the reason why is because the Biden DOJ overplayed its hand and went after an excessive
01:11:09.200
amount of innocent people, which created a mess.
01:11:11.740
So you care about the DOJ overplaying their hand?
01:11:19.100
I care about any instance where law enforcement is targeting innocent people and locking them
01:11:27.220
I don't care if it's Texas or Nebraska or the DOJ.
01:11:32.540
Well, they've already, the prosecution allegedly, according to sources, are saying that they
01:11:47.180
And I don't think she's even going to go to trial.
01:11:52.980
Well, my understanding, and from what the prosecutor said, and correct me if I'm wrong,
01:11:58.180
is that, and again, you're right, it is conflicted, that they're not even going to
01:12:03.960
The argument, so there was, I think MSNBC came out and said the prosecutors are alleging
01:12:09.940
But then you had, I think it was some legal nonprofit came out and said, that's incorrect,
01:12:18.120
But what was Schiff, what's Schiff being targeted over?
01:12:25.640
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it had to do with finances, lying, and bribes.
01:12:35.440
Yeah, so like when you apply for a residence and claim that your primary residence is this
01:12:43.940
So if he had an R next to his name, do you feel like he would still be in the same situation?
01:12:49.140
If Adam Schiff was a Republican, would he be found?
01:12:55.840
I believe the main reason why they're going after him is because he's a Democrat, because
01:12:58.660
he's a Democrat that's been very outspoken about.
01:13:02.360
I'm not, but I believe weaponizing the DOJ is something, sadly, that is happening here.
01:13:14.140
Going after people that he feels have gone after him.
01:13:18.160
In the Biden, at the start of Donald Trump's, in his campaign, he was accused of being a
01:13:22.140
Russian spy, of colluding with a foreign adversary of the United States.
01:13:26.120
There's a lot of conflicted information on this, but we know it's meritless.
01:13:29.740
However, regardless of that, we know that there was a meeting with Comey, Sally Yates,
01:13:34.340
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, where they said, we're going to push this as, like, we're going
01:13:40.880
to, in Trump's presidency, target him in this way.
01:13:44.400
Now, by all means, certainly some people are going to say, well, that was a legitimate
01:13:48.340
We now know that was never the case that Trump was doing these things.
01:13:50.880
There were false stories about Don Jr. having illicit access to WikiLeaks, false stories
01:13:56.680
There was the Steele dossier, which was paid for by the Clinton campaign.
01:14:04.180
We had the arrest of Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the presidency, under highly dubious
01:14:14.960
I'm not saying it wasn't political on the other side either.
01:14:20.200
My point is, I am looking at this like, why is Adam Schiff and Letitia James being targeted?
01:14:24.920
Because a war was started in the DOJ by the Democrats, and Trump is carrying on.
01:14:31.980
I don't think it should be a thing that this country does, but I understand exactly why
01:14:39.100
It's also chaos, because most of the bottom level of the DOJ is longtime staffers.
01:14:43.480
So there's certain stuff that is hard to push through, because you can't get the actual
01:14:50.540
And there's all sorts of chaos around Jan 6th, right?
01:14:55.100
You have the Nancy Pelosi calling off the National Guard.
01:14:58.680
If that's the case, then why didn't Donald Trump—if that's the case, then why was Donald
01:15:02.200
Trump able to call on the National Guard with the snap of a finger in D.C. a few months
01:15:07.600
The argument from the right is always, why didn't Nancy Pelosi call on the National
01:15:11.760
Why was Donald Trump able to call on the National Guard like that?
01:15:13.700
Maybe he would have been able to if it lasted—if it was more than a few-hour process.
01:15:18.820
But one interesting person that got left through the cracks.
01:15:21.620
Real quick, just to address that, sorry, put a pin.
01:15:23.720
The deployment of the National Guard into D.C. is a long, drawn-out process for a long
01:15:28.900
Trump, the day of, being like, oh, man, maybe we should have something.
01:15:40.940
By the way, to be clear, I don't support Nancy Pelosi either.
01:15:49.320
I guess I'm getting to the point that there were other potential—
01:15:54.260
There were other potential motives to make this thing blow up, right?
01:15:57.340
Because they can obviously use it against Trump for various reasons.
01:16:00.760
The Biden DOJ even prosecuted this cop, Shane Lamond.
01:16:08.000
And whenever you have a protest, you have someone in the police department who's coordinating
01:16:17.120
This is where we're going to try and confine ourselves, right?
01:16:20.840
This guy was working super hard to keep the violence down, keep it from going crazy.
01:16:28.620
And the Biden DOJ charged him for colluding with protesters based on the fact that they
01:16:36.340
I don't deny that there are cases that people were overcharged.
01:16:40.320
We don't need to argue, J6, because the rioters were bad.
01:16:43.420
Does it happen if Trump doesn't lie about the 2020 election?
01:16:47.580
The one cop who the media showed this cop on the ground surrounded.
01:16:52.220
January 6th absolutely would have happened even if Donald Trump wasn't talking about it.
01:16:57.020
Because I predicted it in September before the election even happened.
01:16:59.620
But I just respectfully, I disagree with you on that.
01:17:01.980
In September of 2020, I predicted that if Donald Trump didn't win the election,
01:17:05.900
his supporters are going to go to D.C., it's going to be nuts,
01:17:07.980
and they're going to storm the White House or something like that.
01:17:11.060
I think if Donald Trump didn't lie, which, by the way, he did about the 2020 election,
01:17:14.340
he's the only president in American history that has not conceded an election.
01:17:21.380
He's the only president who never conceded an election.
01:17:26.540
I'm pretty sure he never conceded, but he's not the only one.
01:17:33.980
The words, saying the words, I concede versus the legal challenge.
01:17:37.080
Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris picking up the phone and saying congratulations.
01:17:40.020
If you're arguing the words, I concede, I said I will give you that point.
01:17:43.720
I'm talking about whether or not the actions taken after the fact were of someone conceding.
01:17:48.640
You think that January 6th happens, even if Donald Trump concedes the election and says
01:17:52.620
Joe Biden won a free and fair election, you still think there'd be that many people storming
01:17:56.820
the Capitol that are trying to overthrow a free and fair election?
01:18:06.240
So, my point is, the things that were happening in this country led me to believe, two months
01:18:11.840
before the election, that Trump supporters would not accept a Biden victory, no matter
01:18:16.880
Whether or not, and this is irrespective of Trump saying anything about the election being
01:18:24.400
I was vaguely wrong because I did the White House.
01:18:25.900
If Donald Trump conceded and he said we can't be violent and he toned down the rhetoric and
01:18:29.780
he lowered the temperature, I guarantee you January 6th doesn't happen.
01:18:54.420
Why did Biden get so many more votes than Kamala?
01:18:56.580
Should they have run him if that was actually a true count?
01:19:03.600
I don't know exactly what, but it's also possible this was the first election that was stolen.
01:19:10.000
So the issue is, of course, I've never argued the election was stolen or that there were Chinese
01:19:17.040
However, I have argued that we are in a constitutional crisis following the 2020 election because
01:19:23.520
the failures of the Supreme Court to pick up Texas v. Pennsylvania.
01:19:25.820
So the issues at play from the Trump administration, largely, not the ancillary groups like Mike
01:19:31.200
Lindell or anything like that, have to do with violations of the Constitution in the furtherance
01:19:37.880
And now we are in a nebulous state where it's going to impact us very heavily in 26 and 28,
01:19:42.960
especially with the Voting Rights Act going to the Supreme Court.
01:19:46.000
I see this as a catalyst for the complete factionalization, Balkanism or otherwise were
01:19:57.400
I mean, are you familiar with Texas v. Pennsylvania?
01:20:01.460
And by the way, we were in some very weird times during COVID at that moment.
01:20:05.800
But the problem that I have, Tim, and going back to what I said before, is that the man
01:20:10.600
continues to lie and a president's words do matter.
01:20:29.020
But I also would say there's a difference between that and not conceding an election.
01:20:32.480
And then we have, you know, January 6th, which takes place.
01:20:41.780
He hasn't shown any evidence or proof that it was rigged.
01:20:46.020
He claims the mail-in ballots when he told his own supporters not to do mail-in ballots.
01:20:51.620
And then he claims that the mail-in ballots were rigged and all these votes were counted
01:20:56.460
The bottom line is when we look at Mike Lindell, who I think is a clown, and we look at Dinesh
01:21:00.400
D'Souza, who I think is a clown, and we look at these people as a source to, oh, I think
01:21:12.440
Well, you know, I like Mike and Dinesh, but I agree that they're wrong.
01:21:15.800
And because I've consistently made the arguments, which apparently I just learned from Mike Benz
01:21:20.560
made me a target of Democrat NGOs and the Atlantic Council.
01:21:24.940
Because in 2020, my argument was they didn't fake ballots.
01:21:34.940
Pat Pressler would probably agree with you on that.
01:21:38.260
And so the issue was Democrats did a massive—so you had universal mail-in votes, which made
01:21:43.400
ballot harvesting substantially more effective.
01:21:47.420
There are a handful of places where this is illegal, but it's typically legal or only
01:21:54.400
Dinesh D'Souza made the argument that people were ballot harvesting to a great degree and
01:21:59.560
Why is it when Trump loses, so many MAGA Republicans won't accept it, but when Trump wins, everything
01:22:11.080
So it's like, can we fix that suspicious stuff around our election processes?
01:22:14.580
And then we can solve this problem of losing trust in the system, et cetera.
01:22:22.020
If the judiciaries and the executors of various states did not illicitly alter the rules of the
01:22:32.780
And actually, I don't know is a fair answer, but we can at least say Texas is a fair answer.
01:22:36.100
Texas v. Pennsylvania needed to be answered, and the Supreme Court are a bunch of cowards.
01:22:40.160
They were too scared to enter into an original jurisdiction legal case in such a contentious
01:22:46.060
election that they said, we will abstain from our sworn duty.
01:22:49.800
And Tim, if Donald Trump said that, that would be different.
01:22:54.640
I don't think Trump is the most like, what's the right way?
01:22:58.320
If Trump explained it like you just did, I don't think we would have had an insurrection.
01:23:07.020
Well, actually, we would have had a January 6th.
01:23:12.320
I don't think it would have been anywhere near to what it was.
01:23:18.580
I think there were a lot of idiots there that day.
01:23:19.980
Now, there were a couple hundred thousand people there, not violent.
01:23:22.620
There were about, what, 700 people that were violent, right?
01:23:26.880
I'm not saying hundreds of thousands of people were horrible people, but they believed him
01:23:33.220
I think the issue was around 100 or so people were—
01:23:39.180
Well, it's because there was—so there's three groups.
01:23:42.200
There were principal rioters who were violent, and that was around 100 or something.
01:23:48.280
Many of them were not—it wasn't possible for them to be violent because they were behind
01:23:52.900
And then there was the extended group of people who were milling about and didn't know the
01:23:58.000
The issue with why the pardons were favored is there's two reasons.
01:24:03.220
Four, engaging in a violent riot and attacking police.
01:24:06.220
I think three years in prison probably makes sense.
01:24:09.020
Maybe a little high, but considering it's the capital—
01:24:16.020
You don't have to be there to be convicted of seditious conspiracy.
01:24:19.720
And they argued because he had a handful of phrases and statements that it warranted some
01:24:24.840
None of the Proud Boys knew they were going to be—
01:24:26.280
But if you beat a cop on Black Lives Matter protests, would you be okay if Joe Biden pardoned
01:24:30.020
Let's just say there was somebody—by the way, Joe Biden didn't pardon one person from
01:24:33.300
the Black Lives Matter protests, and I don't condone violence on it.
01:24:35.700
I guess that's the difference between me and a lot of people.
01:24:41.420
If—let's—the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020 were massive.
01:25:00.360
And we pointed out with January 6th, there was—I think it was an estimate of 200,000.
01:25:03.740
And only a very tiny fraction were involved in the riot.
01:25:06.620
So for BLM, if the Trump administration started setting up Capitol police offices around the
01:25:12.300
country and started raiding random activists' homes who were not violent and were just marching
01:25:20.960
And if Biden pardoned those people, I'd say, OK, furthermore, the people who did riot after
01:25:25.340
three years, I'd also say I think three years is a long enough time in prison for a riot.
01:25:28.780
OK, you're entitled to that opinion, but I would say the difference between me and a
01:25:31.620
lot of other people is when it goes—I don't care whether you beat a police officer on—I
01:25:34.680
think we agree on this—I don't care whether you beat a police officer during Black Lives
01:25:37.800
Matter protests or you beat a police officer on January 6th.
01:25:42.220
Now, we could disagree on how much time they should have served behind bars, and that's
01:25:51.180
Let's take an example of an officer that was beaten to a pulp.
01:25:54.460
There were some officers that have traumatic brain injury.
01:25:58.680
I think only 10 were hospitalized, but we can go over that later.
01:26:06.620
Most of those were tear gas from their own deployment.
01:26:09.440
Trump didn't arrest any of these people on the May 29th insurrection.
01:26:13.620
Let's just say, to answer your question, one of those people beat a police officer to the point
01:26:21.080
Just like if you beat a cop on Black Lives Matter protest and you gave another police officer
01:26:29.200
Now, I'll give you the fact that there are people that were overcharged.
01:26:35.740
You think maybe three—maybe a little bit more than that?
01:26:37.520
If you beat a police officer to a point where he has traumatic brain injury?
01:26:40.060
In a singular incident where an individual beats a cop until he has life-altering injuries,
01:26:44.500
So here's the issue with January 6th and any other riot is it became political.
01:26:51.040
And it became political because innocent people were being locked up and hunted down on misdemeanors.
01:26:57.660
The Biden DOJ raided a woman's home in Alaska who wasn't even in the Capitol because she
01:27:10.800
And so then what happens is it becomes very hard to isolate a granular moment in J6 because
01:27:16.900
it's a singular political incident where Trump says too many innocent people have been assaulted
01:27:26.300
If they did not arrest people, hunt them down for walking on the grounds, if they didn't
01:27:31.960
arrest Owen Schroer, who didn't go in the Capitol, or Brandon Strzok, who didn't go in
01:27:40.060
And I've met many people who—there's one story that I talk about quite a bit.
01:27:45.280
She showed up an hour or so after everyone had already left the Capitol.
01:27:48.960
But the barricades had still been removed from the grounds, and the doors were still
01:27:52.440
She and her husband were leaving the peaceful protest and walking through D.C.
01:28:01.460
And they went to—I forgot which door it was, but it wasn't the side where the windows
01:28:04.660
It was the side where they opened it after the fact.
01:28:05.960
She walked in, and there's that hallway, and her and her husband looked around and then
01:28:12.140
And then several months later, their door was kicked in by feds.
01:28:15.440
They were arrested for misdemeanor trespass and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
01:28:23.960
The story he mentioned about the officer, there were stories of people on the front
01:28:27.480
line during the riots who are asking the officers, what can I do to help, and fighting
01:28:34.120
This became such an egregious blanket that for a political moment, people were just like,
01:28:41.160
And so, again, on a singular incident, we'd be like, as I said from day one, those people
01:28:46.540
who attacked cops and rioted should be locked up.
01:28:49.400
I would have had to keep all those innocent people in jail to figure out that process.
01:28:53.860
In almost any aspect in life, you're going to find situations, including January 6th,
01:28:58.080
where people are overcharged, and at times it's political.
01:29:02.320
Then we get the George Floyd riots where, in front of the White House, they firebombed
01:29:05.780
the grounds, they set fire to St. John's Church, they injured over a hundred and some
01:29:09.420
odd federal law enforcement, and liberals in this country, default libs, I should say
01:29:15.180
left-faction-aligned individuals, celebrated it.
01:29:20.560
Like, is there a Democrat official, an elected official?
01:29:25.720
Because I hear that, and this pertains to right now, and I don't mean to change the subject,
01:29:29.000
but I hear from the right, and I talked about this on Pierce Morgan, where Riley Gaines
01:29:32.520
said, Democrat politicians are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
01:29:45.800
When people say that Democrat elected officials are, there's a difference between celebrating
01:29:52.680
It was horrible what happened to him, and not wanting to celebrate his life.
01:29:56.280
Now, those are two completely different things.
01:30:01.360
And it's a semantic argument, and I accept your position on, but my argument is when about
01:30:06.060
a week after a person is assassinated, you go on the House floor and smear him and lie
01:30:09.540
about him, I'm like, this is a person who is gloating over his death.
01:30:13.140
That's different than celebrating his murder, though.
01:30:24.300
One could say, on a simple semantic term, and I accept your argument on this one, I am not
01:30:28.700
saying she jumped up and down and popped confetti.
01:30:35.040
I said what she did was an opportunistic attack, glorifying, like maximizing their political
01:30:43.220
In a political standpoint, from a position of electoral politics and factionalized politics,
01:30:52.480
No, I'm saying Donald Trump giving him the Medal of Freedom, you know...
01:31:00.660
Again, all of a sudden you care about being respectful, but you don't care about all these
01:31:05.440
What do you mean don't care about being respectful?
01:31:06.580
You're connecting things that aren't connecting.
01:31:10.340
When I was on the air when Charlie Kirk was murdered, I was emotional.
01:31:20.580
Well, as far as we know right now, it wasn't the left that killed him.
01:31:24.560
Just like when they say, the left tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
01:31:32.940
What we've learned, and hopefully we will learn more in a court, because I don't like
01:31:37.060
to hear what people say on Fox News and OAN and Newsmax, or what Matt Gaetz has to say
01:31:43.040
What we've learned is he was obviously radicalized.
01:31:48.780
We don't know all the details of how he was radicalized.
01:32:04.820
To throw my weight behind the entire government institution, even with them...
01:32:09.580
I mean, the information which leads us to the evidence of his motivating ideology is very
01:32:17.420
However, what we can say is, there were transgender individuals, seven identified accounts so far
01:32:22.360
that expressed foreknowledge of the assassination.
01:32:25.140
Transgenders had nothing to do with this 22-year-old doing what he did.
01:32:29.180
There are seven accounts of transgender individuals.
01:32:30.920
Do you think a transgender was responsible for this?
01:32:33.220
Do you want to interrupt me, or am I going to make a point?
01:32:36.220
There were seven accounts online from transgender individuals that expressed foreknowledge
01:32:42.820
We don't know if some of them were just lucky statements, like, Charlie Kirk will get what's
01:32:48.480
But some of them were, tomorrow, there's going to be big news about Charlie Kirk, and he'll
01:32:55.600
We do know, and again, if we trust the current state of the case, that the individual
01:33:01.320
Robinson stated in these messages that it was Charlie's hate, and that, you know, and
01:33:18.620
I mean, if the guy was a tress player, I'd say he was involved in justice.
01:33:21.020
I don't care what his sexuality is, and I don't care whether he's transgender or
01:33:24.040
To me, it has no bearing, and there's no evidence.
01:33:27.060
A transgender motivating ideology to murder Charlie Kirk.
01:33:29.820
Charlie Kirk was anti-trans, and was shot just after being asked a question about trans
01:33:34.080
Well, number one, it wasn't a trans person that murdered Charlie Kirk, and number two,
01:33:45.960
The circumstances are very strange, but the evidence points to a man who was in a relationship
01:33:53.580
That matters because of the underlying ideology.
01:33:55.700
It connects to seven accounts online that expressed foreknowledge.
01:34:01.740
However, there are these Discord chats the FBI has polled and is investigating.
01:34:08.520
The motivating ideology of the person who killed Charlie Kirk was that he was anti-trans,
01:34:14.920
Does that mean a lot of transgenders out there wanted Charlie Kirk dead?
01:34:18.940
And I'm pointing out that Charlie Kirk was trans-critical, and there was a man accused
01:34:24.420
of killing him who was in a relationship with a trans person, and he allegedly said because
01:34:30.820
So you think the trans person might have influenced him?
01:34:33.640
I'm saying there's an individual who was pro-trans, Charlie was anti-trans, that appears
01:34:38.940
Okay, well, that's yet to be determined in a court of law.
01:34:52.640
I disagree with Destiny and a lot of other people that haven't completely denounced
01:35:08.400
And I've watched this video extensively, and listen, he called out what happened to Paul Pelosi,
01:35:14.340
He said, oh, that was horrible what happened to him.
01:35:16.120
But then with a smile on his face, this was like a day or two after, and by the way, Paul
01:35:23.160
He said he would call one of his listeners a hero if someone put up the bail for this guy.
01:35:28.460
He said it with a smirk on his face, and let's ask him some questions.
01:35:33.140
That would be like me going on the air, which by the way, I would never do, and say, hey,
01:35:37.240
let's raise some money for Tyler Robinson, and let's ask him some questions.
01:35:41.040
And if you raise money for Tyler Robinson and get him out of prison on bail, you're a hero.
01:36:00.200
And Brian, real quick, I mean, you're saying that you just disagree to things he said,
01:36:04.220
but on October 30th, you said he's worse than garbage.
01:36:09.760
I stand by that statement, and I'll give you reasons why.
01:36:14.920
I don't believe you that you just disagree to things he said.
01:36:20.660
I'll defend everything that I've said about him.
01:36:22.340
Now, I'm not going to outright defend every component of what Kirk said, but there is a
01:36:27.920
Charlie Kirk was saying, so this is in the context of not knowing why the attacker did it.
01:36:32.920
The speculation from a lot of people was that there was some illicit activity going on with
01:36:38.360
It didn't make sense that they didn't have proper security.
01:36:42.300
Charlie Kirk said, bail him out and ask him some questions.
01:36:51.300
You could do a two-hour podcast, and in 99% of that podcast, you can call out what happened
01:36:57.460
But with a smile on your face, if you call somebody a hero for bailing a guy out who almost
01:37:02.700
killed somebody, I hate people who talk like that.
01:37:13.540
For example, Politico says, top Republicans reject any link between GOP rhetoric and Paul
01:37:25.580
Why is the Republican Party, why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists
01:37:33.340
that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into somebody's home or maybe not breaking into somebody's
01:37:48.660
We cannot look back after already knowing the details, you know, and scoff at a comment
01:37:59.160
By the way, if some if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants
01:38:06.180
to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out.
01:38:09.800
I bet his bail is like 30 or 40 thousand bucks.
01:38:12.180
Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.
01:38:18.440
They're going after him with attempted murder, political assassination, all this sort of stuff.
01:38:29.240
But why is it that in Chicago you're able to commit murder and be out the next day?
01:38:35.520
Why is it that you're able to trespass, second degree murder, arson, threat of public official,
01:38:48.820
The full context is whether he's right or wrong.
01:38:52.840
He's making an argument that in these jurisdictions, they tend to revolving door a lot of these
01:38:58.280
criminals, but not the guy who attacked Paul Pelosi.
01:39:01.300
And he's making two points as it pertains to a midterm hero who would bail him out.
01:39:05.740
And that is show Democrats this is what you do and also ask him questions because at the
01:39:11.060
time they didn't know if this guy was like buying drugs or something.
01:39:15.260
Um, but the point that I'm just trying to make here, and I can give you many of other examples
01:39:19.840
day after somebody is almost killed with a hammer, you can have a conversation about,
01:39:24.960
well, geez, why are these people not getting bailed out?
01:39:27.220
And why are these people getting bail to call somebody a hero or a patriot, a midterm hero?
01:39:36.240
I think they'd be a patriot because they would be able to ask this guy questions, which
01:39:39.600
got information, which then affected the midterms.
01:39:42.420
Don't you think it'd be a little bit more prevalent for law enforcement to ask him questions
01:39:48.820
I give, I give Charlie Kirk's statement here a D minus.
01:39:53.580
I don't think it's a, it was, it was a good thing to say, but I understand the greater
01:39:57.880
I'll be at Charlie has had many statements where it's like, Charlie could have said that
01:40:03.880
If he came out, you shouldn't, you shouldn't call someone to hear over this.
01:40:07.560
At the time we were all speculating as to what this actually could have been because it was
01:40:11.100
weird that the Pelosi's wouldn't have active security.
01:40:13.120
Did Matt Gaetz or Ted Cruz apologize when they tweeted out that it was some sort of gay,
01:40:17.780
retweeted and tweeted out that it was a gay relationship?
01:40:19.860
If you want to nitpick every time someone posted some silly nonsense.
01:40:24.040
But why don't, why don't they apologize for it?
01:40:34.760
We were being told that it was an undocumented immigrant.
01:40:40.000
Two factions are trying to rip each other to shreds and you're not going to convince
01:40:43.800
people on the right to apologize when the left doesn't apologize either.
01:40:49.220
I can give you many examples of the left apologizing.
01:40:50.580
I can give you many examples of the right apologizing.
01:40:52.480
When does Donald Trump apologize for something?
01:40:55.120
He's the leader of, he's the leader of the Republican party.
01:40:58.660
When, when has Obama apologized for the drone strikes?
01:41:02.620
I'm talking about comments that you've made and.
01:41:04.680
We can easily pull up instances where the left and the right have apologized for things.
01:41:08.140
As to each other, it is mostly, and this is the funny thing, because I always find myself
01:41:12.960
in these positions where I'm like, yes, the right's not going to apologize.
01:41:17.260
You are unable to step back from your position and see what's going on.
01:41:21.340
I am telling you, the right is going to say nasty things about the left and never apologize
01:41:25.400
And the left is going to say nasty things about the right and never apologize for it.
01:41:30.740
Donald Trump going after Letitia James and Adam Schiff is not because he's like, I want
01:41:35.240
It's because he's like, I'm at war with these people.
01:41:37.880
He is going after them for, I would say, tangible political effects that he wants to obtain.
01:41:47.600
He's going, take Adam Schiff off the chessboard.
01:41:49.420
OK, I understand, Tim, I understand what you're saying, but it goes back to my original
01:41:54.880
And if you could give me another example, can you name me?
01:41:57.440
And again, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
01:42:02.000
And I want to emphasize that over and over again.
01:42:03.600
And by the way, any Democrat, anybody, I'm not talking about an elected official who
01:42:09.040
And I've called that out on my show constantly.
01:42:11.300
We need to call out political violence on both sides.
01:42:15.580
We had a guy go into a church in Michigan who was a huge Trump supporter who shot up
01:42:23.120
He went in there and he shot a bunch of people.
01:42:24.460
People are saying because he was anti-Christian.
01:42:39.780
This was the guy had a problem with individuals in the church.
01:42:46.480
But I also don't believe your full-throated condemnation when you said you hate him and
01:42:51.800
I think Osama bin Laden was that and I celebrated.
01:43:01.280
I don't hate Tim because we're both two bald white brothers.
01:43:04.380
I actually am enjoying this conversation, even though I've been called retarded.
01:43:17.980
Now, it doesn't mean that I wanted him to be murdered.
01:43:27.120
I hate the constant attacks on brown people, on gay people, on women who get abortions,
01:43:35.640
calling them murderers, which, by the way, he's called time and time again, which I think
01:43:43.160
Now, I give him credit for building what he built with Turning Point USA.
01:43:47.780
Quite an accomplishment, the following that he had.
01:44:00.680
Doesn't mean that I want him to be assassinated because I don't.
01:44:03.900
What happened to Charlie Kirk is terrible for the country.
01:44:11.700
And I was emotional because I'm a human being and I have compassion for people.
01:44:15.760
I can hate what somebody stands for and still have compassion for somebody.
01:44:26.260
You think I would compare Charlie Kirk to being a mass murderer and a terrorist?
01:44:32.020
Saying somebody is worse than garbage is not saying that I think he's a terrorist that's
01:44:38.060
But let's move a little bit forward because we've got a few minutes left.
01:44:50.780
If it was like a six month or four month thing, I would be OK with that.
01:44:56.360
I think it's reprehensible if there are women out there that are using abortion as birth
01:45:01.840
I don't want to tell a woman what to do with her body.
01:45:05.180
I don't want the government involved in telling women what to do with their bodies.
01:45:13.320
But especially in some states in this country, if you're the victim of incest or rape, you
01:45:22.780
And for the people out there that are so anti-abortion, and I don't call it pro-life, for the people
01:45:26.820
out there that are anti-abortion, I ask you this question.
01:45:33.420
And there are hundreds, hundreds of thousands of kids right now, Tim, that are waiting to
01:45:39.000
If abortion is illegal across the country, what are we going to do with all those kids?
01:45:56.280
I think the highest rates of adoption are among pro-life religious families, like the –
01:46:02.340
And so this is not a real argument by the numbers.
01:46:05.200
And also, if we were to have every child adopted, can we then ban abortion?
01:46:10.660
If you want to have 100 kids, Tim, wearing beanies, you're allowed to do that.
01:46:13.820
And I would say have as many children as you like.
01:46:16.080
But I don't like telling other people what to do.
01:46:21.400
Listen, it's a very difficult thing for any woman to choose to do so.
01:46:25.200
But I don't want to tell – just like I didn't want people to be forced to get the jab.
01:46:35.960
I'd also be okay with limiting how many abortions somebody could have.
01:46:46.080
I don't want to tell the guy with the hammer what to do.
01:46:52.440
I see a woman who's far right with a sign that says,
01:46:58.420
Which wasn't – meant to be a derisive comment about the left.
01:47:05.660
is to attack the political statements of the pro-choice.
01:47:18.200
Yes, because the point of the sign was to derisively insult the argument from the left.
01:47:24.680
She wasn't the most intelligent person to have a conversation with.
01:47:27.120
But the argument there – and I'll fix it for her.
01:47:30.080
My body, my choice pertaining to the injection of a drug into your body
01:47:32.980
is very different from two different bodies in one space.
01:47:36.820
Well, that would be your definition of what a body is.
01:47:42.440
But there are brilliant people who perform pregnancies every day,
01:47:44.800
brilliant doctors who would disagree with you on that.
01:47:48.360
Everybody has a different opinion on this, okay?
01:47:53.800
a pregnant woman has a body within her and her own body.
01:47:56.740
And the argument from the right, whether you agree with them or not,
01:47:59.100
is that there are two distinct individuals at play.
01:48:03.040
Even though we disagree – well, we don't disagree.
01:48:08.220
I probably – I'll just say I think abortion as contraception is wrong.
01:48:15.500
I'm largely in the Ron Paul camp of it should be illegal.
01:48:21.220
And I think the problem is as a culture and society,
01:48:29.220
Geography shouldn't play – sorry to interrupt.
01:48:30.600
Geography shouldn't play a role in a woman's body, though.
01:48:33.840
What it means is in some states in this country, it is illegal for a woman to get an abortion.
01:48:37.820
And in some instances, she has to drive to another state.
01:48:46.780
I mean, this is a good way to reduce the culture.
01:48:48.380
Geography – what society you choose to – I disagree.
01:48:52.740
Yeah, hyperpolar – geographic hyperpolarization is what creates civil wars.
01:49:02.540
When you have – so, the – our brother's up time and time again.
01:49:07.680
Colorado has unlimited abortion up to nine months.
01:49:13.460
Okay, so what's going to happen is women in Oklahoma are going to be like, oh my God,
01:49:18.360
And then men and – or I'll just say men and women in Oklahoma who are liberal are going
01:49:21.760
to be like, we better get the fuck out of here.
01:49:22.960
And men and women in Colorado who are right-leaning are going to be like, holy crap, we got to get
01:49:26.640
It's going to hyperpolarize both states, and that's going to entrench the political
01:49:30.900
worldview where – in the United States, we – in the 90s, we had a left and a right
01:49:34.440
that largely agreed with each other on most things.
01:49:36.560
The argument over abortion was the amount of weeks that it would be legal.
01:49:41.700
Right was saying, we shouldn't have any abortion, and there was a compromise.
01:49:48.620
What's going to happen now is in each hyperpolarized state – California, Oregon,
01:49:52.460
Washington, Illinois, as blue ones – the left and the right will –
01:49:59.880
And in red states, it's going to be moderate conservatives and the far right.
01:50:04.440
What this means is – so if in the United States as a whole, our left and right largely
01:50:11.000
agree with each other, you find a middle ground, which is very similar to both.
01:50:14.420
If people geographically hyperpolarize, then you will get a moderate conservative, let's
01:50:19.140
say Indiana, debating a far right, ultra-nationalist or whatever, and you'll find a middle ground,
01:50:27.120
which is now relative – like no longer moderate.
01:50:30.700
Now it's staunch, hard conservative, and the blue states are staunch, hard left.
01:50:34.900
These individual states now looking at each other will be like, your worldview is so far
01:50:38.960
away from mine, you're a threat to my existence.
01:50:42.900
New York saw, I think, 500,000 people leave since 2020.
01:50:47.340
These are all moderate to conservative individuals who left and went to other areas, entrenching
01:50:52.540
The reason why Chicago is going the way it's going, the reason why Portland is going the
01:50:56.120
way it's going, where the cops are arresting conservatives, is because the state is now
01:50:59.960
a debate among various factions of left with no conservative, and the conservatives of left.
01:51:04.960
This will end up with Trump sending in the troops, as he's doing, and we'll end up with the
01:51:09.520
states defying it, which they are doing, and then ultimately, I think it's very likely
01:51:14.340
we get to a point where Trump suspends habeas corpus along the routes in which the troops
01:51:18.140
are being deployed, just like Abraham Lincoln did, and then after winning whatever reconstructive
01:51:22.600
or whatever war that happens, Congress will retroactively approve of Trump's actions.
01:51:25.880
There's two dimensions to it, which is the diverging values.
01:51:30.420
We're outside of a media monopoly, so people are rediscovering their values.
01:51:34.480
And then the other element is there's huge cultural differences within the U.S. that go
01:51:39.360
back to the settler groups that, even within intra-British separate districts, that still
01:51:47.920
make a huge difference on how we vote politically.
01:51:50.620
And so when you have a country with different cultures, just like Iraq, Sunni, Shiite, Kurd,
01:51:56.960
then you have this problem where one group's going to dominate the other, or you're going
01:52:01.840
The only way we can fix this is by reducing the power of the federal bureaucracy so there's
01:52:08.420
But make no mistake about it, going back to abortion, the reason why in some states in
01:52:11.980
this country there's no exceptions for rape or incest is because of Donald Trump, because
01:52:16.020
he appointed these people on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe versus Wade.
01:52:20.140
Now, you could have your opinions on abortion, and that's fine, but it is so beyond unreasonable
01:52:24.520
to me to look at a 13-year-old girl in the eye and say, hey, you have to have that, for
01:52:32.360
Now, if you want to have your daughter, that's your business.
01:52:35.940
But there are states in this country, Tim, and that is because of Donald Trump, because
01:52:39.440
he appointed certain members on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe versus Wade.
01:52:49.800
I think it kills hundreds of millions of people and causes untold devastation.
01:52:53.920
But I'm in support of the New England states forming their own health care association because
01:53:01.060
And you can't really get rid of the federal bureaucracy until you remove those dependencies
01:53:09.380
So with the last few minutes we have, I'll point out Roe v. Wade being challenged in any
01:53:18.040
way ultimately will lead to a conclusion that you will absolutely despise.
01:53:22.800
I think the next move from the Supreme Court will likely be to have a nationwide ban on
01:53:27.120
The reason why is the 14th Amendment, which I will read.
01:53:30.160
All persons born or naturalized in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
01:53:34.200
or, I'm sorry, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
01:53:40.500
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
01:53:44.620
citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty,
01:53:48.260
or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
01:53:53.760
What I see as being very obvious is, first, in the 14th Amendment, you have the question
01:54:00.980
A person can be born, implying that there are persons who are not yet born.
01:54:06.520
Now, they're making a reference to persons who exist outside of the United States who were
01:54:11.540
There is also going to be an interpretation that a person born implies a person unborn.
01:54:17.840
Whether you agree with that argument or not, I think the conservative Supreme Court will
01:54:22.840
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
01:54:25.720
citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty,
01:54:31.020
What's likely going to happen, in my opinion, when this question next arises, because liberals
01:54:34.880
will likely challenge the law once again in some state, it will then go up to the courts.
01:54:39.200
The Supreme Court will then have to answer the question of personhood as it pertains to
01:54:46.840
There is a—this is actually a component of Roe v. Wade.
01:54:49.200
They were trying to determine at what point the unborn is a person.
01:54:52.260
And so they settled on there's some point at which it's no longer a fetus that can't
01:54:58.820
It is now an individual person that can be killed.
01:55:00.480
I believe the Supreme Court's largely going to say, you cannot terminate the life of a
01:55:08.020
That means a woman will not be able to get an abortion with that court order.
01:55:16.280
No, I think the issue is, we don't want abortion as contraception, but you can't stop
01:55:22.860
It's an issue of culture that your society will allow—
01:55:26.880
Four months is nuts, because four months is actually borderline viable.
01:55:37.700
The challenge is technology—you don't want to make that argument, and I'll tell you why.
01:55:40.720
Because technology is rapidly advancing to where if the argument is time period, then
01:55:46.640
So right now, they already have technology to incubate babies in artificial wombs.
01:55:51.500
So if the argument is viability, then the argument is all babies are viable from the
01:55:57.320
So if you argue time frame based on viability, then it's going to ban outright.
01:56:06.240
Would you accept a circumstance in which a woman could terminate an abortion at—I'm
01:56:13.520
But the baby would then be placed in an artificial womb and grown, and it lives.
01:56:21.020
I think it's a very difficult circumstance because then you're a mother that knows that
01:56:25.340
you have a child out there somewhere that you—
01:56:27.540
That's not a justification for killing the child.
01:56:32.220
I think that should be the choice of the mother.
01:56:36.080
To do what you are saying is to put it in another circumstance where the child could survive.
01:56:43.980
The court is going to ask if the—whatever you want to call it, fetus or otherwise—can
01:56:55.880
For what reason should a woman have the right to choose a life she doesn't have to carry?
01:57:00.480
Do you want to start with the extreme circumstances or, you know—
01:57:03.420
Like, I'm talking about a legal argument in the court of law saying, your honor—
01:57:06.040
If someone's the victim of sexual assault, if someone's incest, if there's a situation
01:57:12.640
In what circumstance are you allowed to kill someone because they were a product of incest
01:57:17.800
I would say they should be allowed to have an abortion.
01:57:21.280
We're kind of going back and forth on three months or four months.
01:57:26.220
I'm saying we already have artificial womb technology.
01:57:31.500
A woman says, I want an abortion, but a court says, okay, but we are going to incubate
01:57:39.060
What then becomes the argument for the woman saying, no, no, no, kill it anyway?
01:57:47.780
I certainly don't speak for women that are pregnant or that want an abortion, but I could
01:57:52.280
make the argument that the woman could say, well, I don't want to know, and you might
01:57:59.580
It's an argument for law, and I don't think the law would agree with what you're saying.
01:58:02.940
A woman doesn't want a child and finds out later she has one, so she wants the child
01:58:05.640
It's not an argument to terminate the life of a child.
01:58:11.280
I think where we will end up largely is going to be.
01:58:14.140
Women will have the right to terminate their pregnancies, and they're going to terminate
01:58:20.440
Forcing that woman to have that, to be pregnant for all those months?
01:58:24.400
They're going to take the baby out, even six weeks in, and put it in an artificial womb.
01:58:28.280
The woman will leave and be like, I'm not pregnant anymore.
01:58:30.300
I was unaware that they have that technology right now to do that.
01:58:39.340
Will that child, or to be a child, whatever your definition is of a human being, they will
01:58:45.420
Is there a guarantee that that child will be able to live with parents?
01:58:48.780
Well, I can't see that far, but what I can say is—
01:58:50.720
That's an important question, though, don't you think?
01:58:52.180
Of course it is, but it's an after-the-fact question.
01:58:54.120
The question of what we do for children is a question we must answer now.
01:58:57.740
That I'm bringing up a circumstance in which abortion may end because we can grow life
01:59:07.220
One of my arguments from the right is that, you know, people get involved in crime because
01:59:10.880
they're raised without parents, you know, the nuclear family.
01:59:13.640
If—I'm just saying, if that did happen and there was a law that was passed, I would
01:59:18.180
want to make sure that that child would have parents.
01:59:21.660
You know, I don't want them waiting for decades to get foster parents.
01:59:25.880
So I think if that child would be guaranteed to have a parent or parents, then I think I
01:59:39.720
The argument in court has always been viability.
01:59:42.760
If the baby can survive on its own, you can't kill it.
01:59:45.260
So my position—we are rapidly approaching technologically a position where the baby never
01:59:51.540
Have Republicans put forth some sort of bill or anything in—
02:00:00.840
I got to tell you, I'm not a big fan of it myself, but it doesn't matter what I'm a
02:00:05.880
The fact that technology exists means that a woman can say, I will not carry this
02:00:09.720
pregnancy, and the court can say, but you don't need to kill it.
02:00:12.140
Isn't it a moot point, though, if Republicans aren't going to pass something like this?
02:00:16.480
Technology creates—technology largely dictates our culture.
02:00:20.700
So, like, the expansion of radio, TV, and then cell phones dramatically changed how we
02:00:24.660
But can you put yourself in a position of one of these women for a moment?
02:00:30.880
But real quick, you don't need to be in a position of a woman—
02:00:36.200
Who's in this situation, which we'll never be in.
02:00:40.780
But just put yourself in a position of the woman who's pregnant, who, for whatever reason,
02:00:44.840
wants to have an abortion, and then five, ten years, twenty years down the road, knowing,
02:00:50.420
That's actually been true for men for all of human history.
02:00:52.860
I understand that, but the man isn't the one that actually has the baby and pregnant.
02:00:59.200
Men throughout history, some who have wanted children and some who have not, have found
02:01:02.840
out years later they had kids they never knew about, but women never experienced that
02:01:07.860
So circumstances where, in the more extreme, a woman pokes a hole in a condom and tricks
02:01:15.300
Or the inverse, where a guy rapes the woman, and then she has the kid a long time later.
02:01:18.440
But this is creating a circumstance where, yeah, you don't get to just kill an unborn
02:01:24.040
fetus, whatever you want to call it, if it can be saved by the doctor.
02:01:27.160
And I believe you will likely lose every argument, because the majority of people don't want
02:01:32.480
If you go to the average person and say, we have a great compromise, women can get an
02:01:35.800
abortion whenever they want, and the baby will be saved.
02:01:37.920
My biggest concern is I want to make sure that there are parents out there that are able
02:01:43.540
And that's a question for now, not a question related to technology.
02:01:48.680
So that's something we can solve now and discuss, and there's a big political debate
02:01:51.940
The issue with the advent of this technology, perhaps it will exacerbate this problem, but
02:01:56.100
there is no legal argument for the termination of a life if the life can be saved.
02:02:00.900
You can grant the woman the right to end the pregnancy, and I don't want to have a kid
02:02:11.540
I don't like the term pro-life, because a lot of people that call themselves pro-life, and after the
02:02:15.320
baby is born, everything they do is to the opposite of that.
02:02:21.840
There's a lot of Republicans out there that vote against maternity leave.
02:02:24.200
There's a lot of Republicans out there that vote against welfare and food stamps.
02:02:27.600
Well, I don't speak for Republicans, and I can tell you why I'm okay with food stamps
02:02:32.320
So the important argument, the understanding is, while I largely don't agree with many of
02:02:36.300
those Republican policies, I do understand why they vote for them.
02:02:38.740
Oh, they think there's abuse and waste of money, and people are lazy, and they...
02:02:45.940
Welfare creates dependency classes, which hurts the child and results in fatherlessness.
02:02:52.380
If you want to listen to what conservatives actually believe, you have to listen to...
02:02:54.800
And I'm wondering how many of those people were in a situation where they didn't have
02:02:58.060
A lot of the people that I've spoken to, food stamps, welfare, unemployment, maternity
02:03:05.460
But it creates extended problems, and that's the conservative argument.
02:03:15.240
You need to remove dependencies to be able to actually cut government.
02:03:20.820
So you don't think we should have unemployment benefits?
02:03:25.140
As an ideal, potentially, we shouldn't have anything.
02:03:28.800
But I don't think we should get rid of it while we're tying people's hands behind their
02:03:32.300
back with this regulation that's enforcing this oligopoly, and four companies dominate
02:03:39.280
You can't learn skills, and now you're going to take away the benefits, and then people
02:03:43.540
So what we need to do is we need to give people an opportunity to be able to thrive, and that's
02:03:48.660
going to create the slack to where we can actually get rid of some of these...
02:03:51.060
That's the jobs reports we've had in years, okay?
02:03:55.240
And whether you want to blame Trump for that or not, or the tariffs, that's another conversation.
02:03:58.620
But you're telling me someone who works really hard, who makes $30,000, $35,000 a year,
02:04:04.100
very little money, living paycheck to paycheck, they lose their job.
02:04:09.920
And you don't think they should get maybe three months or six months of unemployment benefits?
02:04:18.700
I want to get to the point where we're not relying on psychopaths for our...
02:04:23.500
Well, you need immediate help, yeah, of course.
02:04:25.660
But we don't want to create a system that creates dependencies and perpetuates problems.
02:04:30.800
So the conservative argument tends to be we would be better off with neighbors helping
02:04:35.000
neighbors and communities being connected to each other, and welfare systems break those
02:04:41.900
So the idea is, how do we get to a place where when someone loses their job, his community,
02:04:47.580
There's not this fear that it could ever happen because all of our culture is there for you.
02:04:52.140
It would be very hard to establish that in these conditions.
02:04:55.540
Is it neighbors helping neighbors when we give some of the biggest tax breaks to the tech
02:04:59.040
billionaires, like all the billionaires in this country?
02:05:02.000
The tax argument is unrelated to the welfare argument.
02:05:04.700
Well, but you're talking about, let's help people that are struggling.
02:05:15.480
Just don't touch the regulatory monopoly that upholds 80% of my market share, and I'll
02:05:19.840
But I don't believe that if you're a billionaire, you should be paying a lower amount percentage-wise
02:05:23.780
on taxes than a household income of, say, $50,000 a year.
02:05:32.100
In the long term, the span of generations, these policies will be destructive to the United
02:05:37.000
For the record, Tim, I just, before we go, I hope you don't think I'm a retard.
02:05:50.720
No, I had so many people coming up to me saying, why are you going to do his show?
02:05:59.340
Do you want to add anything, shine anything out?
02:06:04.340
And I know we're going to be in Washington, D.C. on November 8th.
02:06:14.540
I don't have the following that Tim has, a sliver.
02:06:17.080
But at PTL Radio Show, my website is pushingthelimits.live.
02:06:31.700
And then, yeah, I would say just Free Shane Malone, who's Lamonde, who's the police officer
02:06:37.300
who was trying to bring tensions down on Jan 6th.
02:06:48.680
Please sign that petition to help a crypto guy who's been unfairly prosecuted, as many of them have.
02:06:55.680
And then I would just close off with Watch History 102, which is a great show that gets
02:07:00.380
into some of the themes that are behind all these political disagreements.
02:07:04.640
And to summarize, the Deep South was settled by English aristocrats who were in for 200
02:07:15.000
The New England is also authoritarian because it was settled by Calvinist theocrats who wanted
02:07:21.020
So we need an alliance between Appalachia and the Midlands to tamp down some of this
02:07:26.500
And for the record, 10 seconds, I just want to say I've heard rumors, allegedly, that
02:07:29.920
people on the left, they'll do your show, and they'll say they'll come back, and then
02:07:46.580
I would rather have conversations with people that I disagree with than people that I agree
02:07:55.800
I'll see you in, like, tonight for TimCast IRL, and we'll see you at the Great Riz Debate.
02:08:07.440
You can follow me on Axe and Instagram at TimCast.
