Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - AOC Files To IMPEACH SCOTUS Justices Alito And Thomas w-Joe Kent | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has filed articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices

00:00:25.000 Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, as she has promised to do.

00:00:28.000 Now, hold on.

00:00:29.000 It's not because of their rulings.

00:00:31.000 She's saying it's over misconduct.

00:00:33.000 Sure.

00:00:34.000 We'll talk about that.

00:00:35.000 But then we also have Rep. 0.97

00:00:35.000 It's a big story. 0.97

00:00:37.000 Ana Paulina Luna's bill to hold Merrick Garland in contempt, failing as several Republicans defected to join Democrats in, for some reason, protecting Joe Biden.

00:00:48.000 I am very clearly not happy about this, if you watched my earlier morning segments.

00:00:52.000 And then we have some funny news.

00:00:54.000 And some serious news.

00:00:55.000 Ben Shapiro testifying before Congress.

00:00:58.000 Some funny quips that we'll highlight.

00:01:00.000 But serious news.

00:01:01.000 Advertising networks, major media buyers, were trying to collude to shut down conservative channels like the Daily Wire, citing the Breitbart model.

00:01:11.000 They even targeted Joe Rogan.

00:01:13.000 So we're going to talk about all of that, my friends, but before we get started, head over to vaultdrinks.com slash Tim Pool.

00:01:20.000 I got to tell you, we actually ran out of this stuff.

00:01:21.000 They sent us some, and it's delicious, and we drank it all.

00:01:24.000 It's sugar-free, no caffeine, ketone-based energy drink.

00:01:28.000 Vault says, it's the first ever Go!

00:01:30.000 BHB ketone high-octane brain fuel that supercharges your mind and body, containing no sugar, no caffeine, nothing artificial.

00:01:38.000 In today's market, especially for kids, all these drinks have sugar, or caffeine, or something artificial, or all of the above.

00:01:45.000 Vault defies all of that.

00:01:47.000 It's the healthiest drink ever made, they say.

00:01:49.000 Wow.

00:01:50.000 100% natural.

00:01:51.000 And I'll point this out, too.

00:01:53.000 Some of these energy drinks that I'm not going to name, it's not even an energy drink.

00:01:56.000 It's just nasty-tasting soda they call energy.

00:01:58.000 I'm not a fan.

00:01:59.000 What is BHB, you might ask?

00:02:01.000 It's the body and brain's preferred fuel.

00:02:03.000 You probably don't know this, but when you were being born, your mom's belly, in your mom's belly, the most important time in your life, when all your major organs are being developed, your heart, your brain, et cetera, ketones were a part of that.

00:02:12.000 And so that's what Vault is saying.

00:02:15.000 They say that ketones are your body's preferred fuel.

00:02:18.000 So head over to vaultdrinks.com slash Tim Pool and you'll get 10% off.

00:02:23.000 We also have this QR code you can scan right now.

00:02:27.000 You guys know I did the ketosis for a while, but I always recommend you talk to a doctor about what's right for you and all that stuff.

00:02:33.000 But I will say, I'm not a big fan of the sugary garbage drinks.

00:02:37.000 And I will stress, too, you may have noticed other commercials where the big brands are starting to advertise that they, too, are pulling sugar from their drinks.

00:02:44.000 So check out vaultdrinks.com slash Tim Pool.

00:02:46.000 And I will just stress, this stuff...

00:02:48.000 It tastes really good.

00:03:43.000 Doing great, man.

00:03:46.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:03:47.000 So Joe Kent, running for Congress in Washington's 3rd District, retired Green Beret, did a little bit over 20 years in the military.

00:03:53.000 Got a new book out, it's about my late wife who was killed fighting ISIS in Syria.

00:04:00.000 Well, thank you for hanging out.

00:04:00.000 Right on.

00:04:01.000 Yeah, thanks for having me.

00:04:02.000 Ian's here.

00:04:02.000 Hi, everyone.

00:04:03.000 Hey, Tim.

00:04:03.000 Good to see you guys.

00:04:04.000 Hello, Hannah-Claire.

00:04:05.000 And Joe, as well.

00:04:07.000 Always good to see you, man.

00:04:08.000 I'm back.

00:04:09.000 I play music.

00:04:10.000 I'm an actor.

00:04:11.000 I do a lot of stuff.

00:04:12.000 Happy to be here.

00:04:13.000 It's fun to have you both here.

00:04:14.000 I'm glad you could join us.

00:04:15.000 Joe, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel.

00:04:16.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com, Scanner News.

00:04:19.000 Let's get started.

00:04:20.000 Real quick, before we do, I must stress, YouTube's backend is down, and tons of people are freaking out, but I managed to duct tape away to get the stream going anyway, and so hopefully... Is it going to affect anything?

00:04:34.000 I don't know.

00:04:35.000 I mean, so YouTube blocked us from streaming one minute ago.

00:04:38.000 Or, okay, so five minutes ago, before we got started.

00:04:41.000 And I tried inspecting to remove the Java that was blocking the, you know, I seem to have figured it out.

00:04:48.000 But everyone's tweeting like, YouTube's down, we can't get in the back end.

00:04:51.000 I can't access any of our videos or analytics or anything, it's all busted.

00:04:54.000 But we're live, so let's talk about the news.

00:04:56.000 We got this story from the Postmillennial.

00:04:58.000 Breaking!

00:04:59.000 AOC files articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

00:05:05.000 AOC claimed that Thomas and Alito refused to recuse themselves from cases where they had a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party.

00:05:13.000 The important thing to stress here is that this is completely pointless.

00:05:16.000 And like the SAVE Act, we'll do nothing.

00:05:18.000 It won't go anywhere.

00:05:19.000 She's going to file this. 0.99

00:05:20.000 Republicans are going to throw it in the garbage. 1.00

00:05:22.000 Senate's not going to pick up anything like this. 0.97

00:05:24.000 It's not going to happen.

00:05:26.000 As for the SAVE Act too, which also passed the House, and we will talk about that later, that's going to die in the Senate.

00:05:30.000 It's not going anywhere.

00:05:31.000 Biden won't let it happen as it is.

00:05:32.000 So all of this is virtue signaling as the Titanic is sinking.

00:05:39.000 But here's a story.

00:05:40.000 New York's own Rep.

00:05:40.000 AOC made good on her promise on Wednesday to file articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Alito and Thomas.

00:05:46.000 And, you know, it's kind of funny because they're the most based.

00:05:48.000 This comes as Senators seek to engage in a new round of lawfare against Thomas over alleged ethics complaints regarding vacations and trips.

00:05:55.000 A reporter for MSNBC said that AOC was not actually filing impeachment charges over opinions because she couldn't.

00:06:01.000 But due to, quote, conduct around the office, she accused them of not properly disclosing financial benefits and gifts they were given by donors or others.

00:06:11.000 She also claimed that Thomas and Alito refused to recuse themselves from cases where they had a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party when asked to force a justice to recuse himself from a case.

00:06:20.000 Chief Justice Roberts said that absolutely he would not do that and spoke to the independence of justices and the court itself.

00:06:28.000 Clarence Thomas and Alito, they're like the best we have in government right now.

00:06:34.000 And it's not surprising to see with all of the problems we're experiencing, right?

00:06:37.000 We have Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail, Merrick Garland flouting the law, and the DOJ refusing to hold him accountable.

00:06:44.000 And the one thing we have, the one thread we have, are these guys at the Supreme Court doing their best and ruling correctly.

00:06:51.000 So of course AOC wants to go after them.

00:06:54.000 But like I said, All this is is her throwing red meat to her base in her district. 1.00

00:06:58.000 It will have no impact on anything.

00:06:59.000 I think that's part of it.

00:07:00.000 Sorry, I don't want to cut you off.

00:07:01.000 No, go ahead.

00:07:02.000 I think AOC knows to a certain extent it won't go anywhere.

00:07:05.000 And even if it did go somewhere, what is she hoping will happen?

00:07:10.000 That Biden will get to appoint someone before he's voted out?

00:07:14.000 Realistically, I think Claire and Alito and Thomas are great, but likely they will retire within the next four years.

00:07:22.000 And so there's panic over who's going to replace them.

00:07:24.000 To me, it seems like either she knows it's not going to go anywhere or she's delusional to think that she could somehow get Biden to appoint Supreme Court justices before the year's over.

00:07:32.000 And that's just not going to happen.

00:07:33.000 See, this is this is where I'm kind of at an impasse.

00:07:37.000 Rep Luna introduced her inherent contempt resolution against Garland, and four Republicans defected, joining Democrats to stop accountability.

00:07:47.000 And I hate the Republican Party.

00:07:49.000 And so my attitude at this point is kind of like, as predicted, the Republicans won in 2022 and did nothing.

00:07:55.000 They're complaining that they don't have... It's a slim majority.

00:07:58.000 You see what happens when these defectors, they do this thing.

00:08:01.000 Okay, I don't know how you're going to get me to care.

00:08:04.000 And this is the challenge.

00:08:05.000 If Trump wins, and Republicans take the Senate and the House, we can expect that if Alito and Thomas retire, and then Trump gets to name their successors, we're going to get some pretty good ones.

00:08:18.000 And that's what's at stake.

00:08:19.000 But boy, are the Republicans in the House trying everything in their power to set the whole thing on fire.

00:08:26.000 Trump came out supporting Luna.

00:08:29.000 Speaker Johnson was like, I don't know about all this.

00:08:31.000 And then four defectors shut the whole thing down.

00:08:34.000 I'm at a point where I'm just like, I don't know if I care to support this party at all.

00:08:38.000 Who defected?

00:08:40.000 We were trying to find the total vote list, but The Independence reported it's four.

00:08:40.000 I don't have the list pulled up.

00:08:44.000 We'll get into that story next.

00:08:46.000 To go back to the Supreme Court, though, my point is, this is going to be the most consequential election, not because Donald Trump versus Joe Biden, but because the Supreme Court, these are people who are going to be serving for decades, 40, 50 years, maybe, depending on how old they get.

00:09:00.000 So concerning.

00:09:01.000 Well, that's why We need a full sweep across the House, the Senate, and the Presidency to make sure

00:09:10.000 I mean, look, I guess if you somehow win the House and the Senate, but not the presidency, they're not going to get anybody in.

00:09:16.000 Or Biden might try to pack the quarter.

00:09:18.000 Biden.

00:09:19.000 Whoever it is, we don't know.

00:09:21.000 But this is the conundrum, I guess.

00:09:23.000 This is a preview of what will happen if the Democrats take the House.

00:09:27.000 They will go all in.

00:09:28.000 They will go to war with pretty much every effective Republican.

00:09:31.000 And so AOC is just showing exactly what will happen if the Democrats take charge and take control of the House, or if we only have a thin majority.

00:09:39.000 In the House, Democrats will keep up these types of maneuvers.

00:09:42.000 But I also think AOC doing this move this week, it's a diversion tactic because Democrats are having a really, really bad week.

00:09:49.000 So she is trying to show the Democrat base, hey, we still are fighting.

00:09:53.000 Focus on the Supreme Court.

00:09:54.000 Vote for us.

00:09:55.000 We will fight for you.

00:09:56.000 But to your point, Tim, and I'm sure we'll get more into it, like this is why Republican primaries are so important.

00:10:00.000 If you're not happy with the way Republicans are caving right now, Yeah.

00:10:03.000 you've got to participate in Republican primaries. And when Republicans cross the aisle, and they don't do what they

00:10:09.000 campaigned on, you have to primary them. It's unpleasant, but you have

00:10:13.000 to do it. Last time I ran, I took down a 12 year incumbent in

00:10:16.000 a primary, and it was very unpleasant, but it needed to

00:10:18.000 happen.

00:10:19.000 And but a lot of these primaries already happened. Yeah. So I, you

00:10:22.000 know, looking at, you know, Brandon Herrera, right, it's disappointing to see that people don't turn out.

00:10:29.000 It's very disappointing.

00:10:30.000 And then when it comes to November, you end up with these crackpots who do nothing.

00:10:34.000 Now, again, to be fair, to be fair, Republicans could do very little here.

00:10:38.000 Right.

00:10:39.000 Right.

00:10:40.000 But again, we're going to get into that story in a second.

00:10:42.000 As it pertains to everything we see, be it Democrat or Republican, right now it's mostly just red meat. 0.97

00:10:50.000 It's, look at me!

00:10:52.000 I mean, and you know this, everybody knows this, when you see those videos of members of Congress, and it's a tight shot, and they're yelling like, we gotta pass this bill!

00:11:02.000 There's nobody in there.

00:11:03.000 The whole chamber's empty, and they're yelling so they can get the clip on C-SPAN, and then spread it around in their- Hey, that's all it is.

00:11:11.000 Fundraise.

00:11:12.000 It's like nobody was in the room.

00:11:12.000 It'd be like, look at me yelling!

00:11:13.000 Part of the purpose of these people is red meat, or at least like it's to not, you're 0.99

00:11:18.000 not supposed to do a lot.

00:11:19.000 They're supposed to like oversee the process while the private sector runs the show and 0.99

00:11:23.000 they're just making sure stuff doesn't go haywire.

00:11:25.000 They want to make sure monopolies don't pop.

00:11:26.000 They're supposed to make sure monopolies don't pop up in the private sector. 1.00

00:11:30.000 The president's not really supposed to be making all these direct actions and all these

00:11:35.000 official proclamations and changes.

00:11:38.000 He's supposed to be overseeing things and vetoing the crazy stuff and just making sure stuff is business as usual and then run the military.

00:11:45.000 But instead we've got these intense like judicial attack mechanisms that have been going off and then Congress is still gridlocked.

00:11:53.000 It's...

00:11:54.000 It's that's the disturbing part is that the executive branch is doing too much.

00:11:58.000 Well, too much.

00:11:59.000 Yeah.

00:11:59.000 And unfortunately, Congress has given them that power.

00:12:03.000 I mean, Republicans put forward a lot of different measures that would have restored the power of the legislative branch when it comes to government regulation.

00:12:09.000 Luckily, we had the Chevron ruling that's going to give a lot of power back to the legislative branch away from the administrative state. 1.00

00:12:14.000 But you're 100% right.

00:12:15.000 If we don't have Congress that's going to actually show up and fight and follow the Constitution, then the president, the executive branch, is going to be able to take us off the war, levy taxes, and turn the administrative state, the judicial system, against the American people.

00:12:26.000 Is it the Patriot Act, basically, that set that in motion?

00:12:31.000 I don't know when it all began.

00:12:32.000 In terms of the national security state, for sure.

00:12:34.000 But the Chevron ruling.

00:12:36.000 That was a while ago.

00:12:37.000 Was it like the late 70s or something?

00:12:39.000 Yeah, late 70s.

00:12:40.000 So that basically said that Administrative branches could determine, interpret their own rules.

00:12:47.000 So this allowed for a lot of wacky things, notably the pistol brace ban, where the ATF is like, you know, we've just decided that pistol braces are stock, so we're banning them.

00:12:56.000 You can't have, well, you can't have them if it makes your pistol into a short-barreled rifle if it is a stock.

00:13:01.000 And it's like, whoa, you made that up.

00:13:03.000 You unilaterally decided to make something illegal.

00:13:05.000 You can't do that in this country.

00:13:07.000 That's insane that that was ever allowed.

00:13:09.000 Now they really can't.

00:13:10.000 Now the Supreme Court said no.

00:13:11.000 So that's why AOC, of course, look, AOC's an evil person.

00:13:16.000 And I don't use that word lightly, but more and more that word's been popping up, especially in my vocabulary.

00:13:22.000 What is the goal that she is doing? 0.98

00:13:24.000 She's never going to succeed in impeaching Alito or Clarence Thomas.

00:13:27.000 There's no real grounds for it.

00:13:29.000 It would never pass the House.

00:13:30.000 It would never get enough votes in the Senate.

00:13:32.000 It's just going nowhere.

00:13:33.000 Plus, there's a different procedure, I think, for impeaching justices than a president.

00:13:37.000 So it's pointless. 1.00

00:13:39.000 What she's doing is tricking stupid people into giving her money. 1.00

00:13:42.000 That's what she's doing, and that's what the majority of these members of Congress do. 1.00

00:13:46.000 Yep.

00:13:47.000 And I mean, but if the Democrats had had the majority, I think they would do everything they could to actually impeach or at least jam them up and destroy their lives and destroy future Republican nominees for those positions.

00:13:58.000 Because that was the whole thing with all the lawfare they've done against President Trump.

00:14:02.000 I think they knew in their heart of hearts that most of it was going to fail.

00:14:05.000 But the process is the punishment.

00:14:07.000 And so they throw it at us and then we have to use a lot of resources to defend against it.

00:14:11.000 And so at the end of the day, it does become a war of attrition.

00:14:13.000 And the Democrats are not afraid to fight on that front.

00:14:16.000 Yep.

00:14:17.000 But I don't see this going anywhere.

00:14:18.000 It is funny that she did decide to actually file the impeachment.

00:14:23.000 Woman of her word.

00:14:25.000 There you go.

00:14:26.000 Of her crazy, crazy word that we can all see.

00:14:28.000 But it is wild what I hear in the wilds from regular people about what they think is actually going on.

00:14:34.000 They listen to too much MSNBC and CNN and they live in this crackpot reality that's just not true.

00:14:40.000 Yeah, it's disturbing.

00:14:41.000 The Agenda 2025 thing, my mother Project 2025, and she was like, oh, and that Trump 25.

00:14:48.000 And I was like, actually, he came out and said he didn't know anything about it, didn't support it.

00:14:53.000 And she was like, no, well, no, no, they didn't.

00:14:55.000 That's not.

00:14:56.000 Are you?

00:14:57.000 I didn't hear that.

00:14:58.000 You only hear one side of the story.

00:15:00.000 But this is the crazy thing about the left's position.

00:15:03.000 Tucker Carlson's in Australia.

00:15:04.000 A journalist asks a question, and she says, you've stated that in Europe and America, white citizens are being replaced by foreigners.

00:15:12.000 And he goes, did I say white?

00:15:15.000 I don't believe I said that.

00:15:16.000 And she goes, well, you did.

00:15:17.000 He goes, no, I didn't.

00:15:18.000 And I challenge you to quote me because I never said that.

00:15:21.000 He said, there are black families in America that have been there for 400 years.

00:15:23.000 Their interests are just as valid as any white Americans.

00:15:25.000 I've said American citizens are being replaced with immigrants. 1.00

00:15:28.000 And she said, Well, you said this.

00:15:31.000 It's been reported.

00:15:32.000 And it's like, whoa, hold on.

00:15:33.000 The man is standing in front of you saying, I disavow that.

00:15:37.000 Right.

00:15:37.000 Not even I disavow.

00:15:38.000 I never said it.

00:15:40.000 Right.

00:15:40.000 It's like, I reject that premise.

00:15:42.000 So it's fascinating, especially when Trump comes out and says, I don't know what Project 2025 is.

00:15:48.000 Some of the things are OK.

00:15:49.000 Some are really bad.

00:15:50.000 I have nothing to do with it.

00:15:51.000 I wish them luck.

00:15:52.000 And then I hear from people, they go, well, Trump's lying.

00:15:54.000 You know, why?

00:15:57.000 Who is he lying to?

00:15:58.000 Like, I don't get it.

00:16:01.000 So he's trying to get elected on something he doesn't actually want.

00:16:04.000 It's just strange to me.

00:16:07.000 It's just a game.

00:16:08.000 So that would imply that Trump supporters don't support Project 2025.

00:16:10.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:16:12.000 Because if Donald Trump disavows it, to earn votes, the implication is his constituents don't want it.

00:16:20.000 No, no, they want it.

00:16:20.000 They're all lying too.

00:16:21.000 It's like you live in a crackpot reality.

00:16:23.000 The man is telling you what he wants.

00:16:25.000 Yeah.

00:16:26.000 And in what world would a campaign say that this outside group speaks for me 100%?

00:16:29.000 I mean, no campaign would say that.

00:16:31.000 I wouldn't say that as a candidate, even with groups I'm, you know, generally ideologically aligned with.

00:16:36.000 If they're putting out statements on my behalf or someone says, well, this group says this, do you support it?

00:16:40.000 I would say, well, no, I speak for me.

00:16:41.000 If you have a question, why don't you ask me?

00:16:43.000 But that's why most of the time, these attacks, they come not directly to your face because they don't want to give you a chance to respond.

00:16:49.000 All they want to do is smear you with the barrage of like, like 2025, racist, whatever.

00:16:53.000 Yeah, I don't know if it's ever happened to you, but I know a lot of people who will be

00:16:56.000 in the public eye and they'll get attacked for something.

00:16:59.000 And in the article, it'll say, you know, they didn't respond to comment or whatever else.

00:17:03.000 And actually, they requested comment 20 minutes before they published the story.

00:17:07.000 So they never even gave you a chance to respond to it.

00:17:09.000 Trump has to go out on his own and be like, I don't know what this is and I don't want

00:17:11.000 it because there's no mainstream media trying to talk to him about it.

00:17:15.000 From what I can see a lot of the time.

00:17:16.000 I mean, so much of everything right now is just sort of political theater.

00:17:20.000 AOC is launching this to say to her voters, look, I'm doing things that even other Democrats aren't willing to do.

00:17:25.000 I mean, Joe Biden just gave the Medal of Freedom to the NATO secretary general.

00:17:30.000 This guy is from Norway and he's like, you're doing a great job with NATO.

00:17:33.000 Here's our top award.

00:17:35.000 It's just to seem like they are able to celebrate things in a way that other people can't.

00:17:39.000 They're better at this than even their own colleagues. 0.86

00:17:42.000 It's kind of gross.

00:17:43.000 I want to jump to the story from The Independent.

00:17:45.000 Attempt to hold Garland in inherent contempt of Congress fails with four Republicans joining Democrats. 0.96

00:17:52.000 Democrats criticize stupid resolution from Republican Ana Paulina Luna of Florida. 0.97

00:17:58.000 Let me give you the simple version of the story. 0.99

00:18:00.000 Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro are in prison.

00:18:04.000 Steve Bannon was instructed to turn over documents.

00:18:07.000 However, he was also instructed by Donald Trump not to, citing executive privilege, putting him in between two branches of government.

00:18:15.000 Congress saying, we want them.

00:18:16.000 The executive branch saying, executive privilege don't.

00:18:19.000 Who does he defy?

00:18:20.000 Eventually, Trump relented and said, OK, Bannon, you can hand over the documents and testify.

00:18:24.000 And Bannon said, OK.

00:18:25.000 Congress said, too late.

00:18:26.000 We're putting you in prison.

00:18:28.000 After Joe Biden was found to have committed crimes pertaining to classified documents in his home and office and other locations, with his investigation, it was determined by Robert Herr, he would not be prosecuted.

00:18:39.000 He had a conversation with Joe Biden determined that Biden is a sad old man with a bad memory.

00:18:43.000 So effectively, he is not competent to stand trial, as many people have interpreted it.

00:18:48.000 The Republicans wanted the audio tapes of that interview, of that meeting.

00:18:53.000 So they, for a lot of reasons, one, what's Biden's mental state?

00:18:56.000 Was he able to communicate effectively?

00:18:57.000 And is there anything omitted from the recording?

00:19:01.000 They subpoenaed Merrick Garland saying, turn over the tapes.

00:19:04.000 He said, no.

00:19:04.000 They said, you are now in contempt of Congress.

00:19:08.000 He said, so what?

00:19:09.000 It was referred to the DOJ for criminal proceedings, and the DOJ said, try us.

00:19:13.000 Too bad, and did nothing.

00:19:15.000 So Rep Luna said, then we will use our enforcement authority, which is inherent contempt, to at first arrest Merrick Garland.

00:19:23.000 That was shifted to a $10,000 fine per day.

00:19:27.000 That died in Congress because four Republicans defected.

00:19:34.000 I'm a Democrat now.

00:19:35.000 I'm gonna vote straight Democrat across the board.

00:19:37.000 Joe Biden's my guy and I'm voting only Democrat.

00:19:39.000 I can't stand party politics.

00:19:40.000 That's my biggest problem with all of it is... Democrat all the way.

00:19:43.000 Even calling them defectors was like, what are they defecting?

00:19:46.000 I can't stand party politics.

00:19:47.000 Like, vote your heart.

00:19:49.000 But who Because we're supposed to get equality under the law. 0.98

00:19:53.000 But my view now is, there's only one political party that's willing to wield power, and it's the Democrats.

00:19:57.000 So I should just be on their side, right?

00:19:59.000 At least then I can advocate for arresting people, and maybe it'll happen.

00:20:02.000 The other issue is, maybe, just maybe, the only reason that the country actually functions in any capacity, is because while Democrats are constantly trying to set the curtains on fire, Republicans are slapping their hands away.

00:20:14.000 And the moment the Republicans stop, they'll just torch the whole place to the ground, and maybe then we can rebuild something without them in it.

00:20:19.000 We need a stronger majority of Republicans that are actually going to stand up so that these four, five who always tend to cross the party lines, that their votes don't matter, that we can cancel them out.

00:20:28.000 Right now we have a slim majority.

00:20:30.000 So when we try to do bold actions like this, we're going to fail because we just have to realize that some people, they're not going to do what they're supposed to do.

00:20:37.000 They're not going to do what their constituents actually hired them to do.

00:20:40.000 That's a primary issue that should be sorted out in the primary, but we've got to have a stronger control of the House of Representatives so that Speaker Johnson isn't always having to, or whoever is the next speaker, isn't constantly having to play this like, well, do I have enough votes of a thin majority?

00:20:53.000 We need to have people who are ready to use power effectively to hold people accountable.

00:20:57.000 This isn't partisan politics.

00:20:58.000 I mean, what Merrick Garland has done basically since he's been ahead of the DOJ, the DOJ has been prosecuting Americans 2022.

00:21:06.000 outside the boundaries of the law.

00:21:08.000 That's got to be reined in.

00:21:09.000 Republicans should have defunded the DOJ a very long time ago

00:21:12.000 until they stopped going after grandmothers that, you know, were protesting abortion clinics, parents at school board

00:21:17.000 That should have all been handled a long while ago.

00:21:17.000 meetings.

00:21:20.000 But this right here was a great effort by Ana Paulina Luna to actually get some real accountability.

00:21:24.000 So we've got to hold Republicans accountable in primaries and we've got to get a stronger majority.

00:21:29.000 I understand the frustration.

00:21:30.000 We have every right to be frustrated.

00:21:31.000 2022.

00:21:32.000 Yep.

00:21:33.000 Republicans win and do nothing.

00:21:36.000 McCarthy plays the same old dirty games.

00:21:39.000 That's the one good thing I think we got.

00:21:39.000 He gets booted out.

00:21:42.000 Burning a billion dollars in IOUs was hilarious.

00:21:45.000 But nothing changes.

00:21:46.000 Nothing changes.

00:21:49.000 I'm afraid I have to say it this way.

00:21:51.000 I already saw someone super chat asking, for what reason would anyone obey the law when Democrats do not?

00:21:58.000 Why would anyone else decide to play a game that no one else is playing?

00:22:03.000 So what I see is, with Steve Bannon in prison, and the Republicans unwilling to actually uphold the system, what we have seen here today with this ruling, with the vote in Congress, not that it would go anywhere to be—well, it's contempt of Congress, meaning Congress could act unilaterally in this regard.

00:22:22.000 If they voted for it, it doesn't need to go anywhere else.

00:22:24.000 They would hold him in contempt.

00:22:26.000 It be done.

00:22:27.000 What we are seeing here, there's no system.

00:22:29.000 There is no law.

00:22:30.000 There is no legality.

00:22:31.000 It doesn't matter what's on the books.

00:22:33.000 If the Democrats decide to put someone in prison, they do.

00:22:36.000 And the Republicans will block you from getting equality.

00:22:39.000 I don't care what Steve Bannon did.

00:22:41.000 I don't care what Merrick Garland did.

00:22:43.000 I care that I can look at the news and say, there is a logical system in place that I can understand.

00:22:49.000 Right now, I can understand what that logical system is.

00:22:52.000 It is that Democrats will imprison whoever they want and Republicans will help them.

00:22:57.000 and then Republicans will block you from upholding equality.

00:23:02.000 I'm not asking for retribution.

00:23:03.000 I'm not asking for revenge.

00:23:04.000 I'm asking that we actually see the system function as intended.

00:23:08.000 It does not.

00:23:09.000 They've proven that today.

00:23:11.000 Republicans have just taken a dump all over the floor.

00:23:13.000 And for that, it's going to be really hard for me to cast a bout for any one of these

00:23:18.000 people.

00:23:19.000 Sorry.

00:23:20.000 Hate to say it because a lot of people are going to be like, but Tim, if we get the majority

00:23:22.000 and Trump wins Supreme Court and we get justices and retirements, and I'm just kind of like,

00:23:26.000 Yeah, I don't care anymore.

00:23:27.000 I literally don't.

00:23:28.000 There is no system.

00:23:29.000 There is nothing that I look to.

00:23:31.000 There is no, there's no logic.

00:23:32.000 There's no one, one plus two equals three.

00:23:34.000 I don't see any of it.

00:23:35.000 I see Democrats bashing the walls, burning everything down and Republicans holding their hand to my chest and laughing while they do it.

00:23:42.000 Dude, while Jamal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the congressional building and didn't go to jail.

00:23:48.000 And they say to me, but Tim, you just gotta vote Republican harder.

00:23:51.000 Vote Republican harder and then maybe we'll do something about it.

00:23:53.000 I'm like, nah.

00:23:54.000 I'm kind of a glass half full guy.

00:23:56.000 We are making progress.

00:23:57.000 I mean, Ana Paulina Luna is a freshman, and for a freshman to put forward something this bold, A couple of congresses ago, even with a Republican majority, this never would have happened from a freshman.

00:24:07.000 And we're also seeing a lot of progress on things like national defense, the way that the Ukraine aid package went, and just in the course of like two years, when the Ukraine issue first flared up, you had the vast majority of the Republican caucus that were all on board, send Ukraine billions of dollars.

00:24:21.000 But within the course of just two years, we've moved it so now we have a majority of the majority against more endless wars, against more of that funding.

00:24:27.000 So we are making slow, incremental progress.

00:24:29.000 I totally understand the frustration.

00:24:31.000 But we do need people to participate in those primaries, vote Republican up and down.

00:24:35.000 Otherwise, it's going to be more Democrats coming back after us and destroying the country.

00:24:40.000 That's a great point.

00:24:40.000 Because this is a dark, deep, tangled web that we live in.

00:24:44.000 And it's been like this for probably 100 years, probably since 19, really since the Federal Reserve and the bureaucrats tried to take over the country.

00:24:50.000 So like, we're just now seeing it.

00:24:52.000 And for the first time, like the government was in total control, like George Orwell style in the 90s and 2005, George Bush, freaking Dick Cheney, the amount of power those guys wielded, and then signed into law with Patriot Act and stuff.

00:25:05.000 So it is frustrating to like witness that, to see this broken oligarchy.

00:25:11.000 But like you're saying, people are stepping up and people are getting brave and coming together and working.

00:25:16.000 I don't know if working from within the system.

00:25:18.000 We need both.

00:25:19.000 We need from within the system, but we really need a private sector that's willing to say no and be disobedient to a corrupt government and work outside the bounds of that system.

00:25:27.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:25:28.000 I want to, real quick, just give a shout out to our good friends John Duarte of California, Dave Joyce of Ohio, Tom McClintock of California, and Mike Turner of Ohio.

00:25:39.000 These men should never see another penny in contributions from anyone.

00:25:45.000 Now, to be fair, these guys in California, they're probably far left as it is, and they don't count as Republicans, so it is a slim majority.

00:25:53.000 As for Dave Joyce and Mike Turner in Ohio, Mark my words, I will take every political lever that I have, and I will do everything in my power, I will whisper in every ear I can, do not support these men.

00:26:06.000 And we must do everything in our power to make sure that they are either... We're not gonna expel them from Congress, that's not likely to happen.

00:26:15.000 But I will do everything I can to support any and every primary challenge that comes their way.

00:26:21.000 In fact, I may even personally fly down, hold an event, and stand in a soapbox and call them out personally and scream about how these guys are...

00:26:31.000 They don't belong in Congress.

00:26:33.000 They have personally set the matches aflame, struck the match and threw them on the floor to say to the American people, there is no law.

00:26:42.000 None.

00:26:43.000 As long as Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in prison and Merrick Garland is free, there is nothing.

00:26:49.000 And it's their fault.

00:26:51.000 And all of them, I just checked their Twitters really quickly, that none of them have put out a statement addressing this.

00:26:55.000 I mean, that's sort of my concern.

00:26:57.000 If you don't like a bill and you're in Congress, OK, but give me an explanation.

00:27:01.000 I mean, I'm not a constituent of any of these four men, but I think that they should have to say, like, look, I voted against this for this reason.

00:27:07.000 This is what the explanation was.

00:27:08.000 Because even if I don't agree with it, that should be the transparency that they have with their voters.

00:27:12.000 And unfortunately, in the internet age, you can get that out immediately.

00:27:15.000 So it does create a pressure where they have to respond sooner rather than later.

00:27:19.000 They can't say, oh, well, you know, business and this and the other.

00:27:22.000 Like they could have they they probably knew how they were going to vote on this for a

00:27:26.000 long time.

00:27:27.000 They should have had a prepared statement that went out because I think, you know, again,

00:27:30.000 if you don't if you're voting against this, I think I should know why.

00:27:34.000 And again, I talk about the Mayorkas impeachment vote vote frequently when I'm on here because

00:27:39.000 there were only three Republicans who defected and voted against it.

00:27:42.000 But all of them were like, look, I think this is a misinterpretation of the law or whatever.

00:27:46.000 I don't necessarily agree, but at least that they were they were explaining what their word was and why they were standing by it.

00:27:52.000 I think that's sort of the challenge here, which is like if you are not going to address it, you're hoping no one knows why you didn't vote against it.

00:27:59.000 We're in the Internet era.

00:28:01.000 People are going to be able to find this out, you know, immediately.

00:28:04.000 But I think you're right.

00:28:05.000 It is fascinating that this was a move by a freshman.

00:28:09.000 I think Ana Paulina Luna is really brave and she's definitely of a class of Republicans that are bold in what they choose to do.

00:28:16.000 And I hope that is a trend among a lot of politicians, both on the state and federal level, because I think it's a new day and we need to see some more creative actions taken.

00:28:28.000 We definitely need the bold new leadership.

00:28:28.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:28:30.000 And so I understand the frustration, but the glass is definitely, I think it's half full.

00:28:34.000 I think we're making progress.

00:28:36.000 To your point, when these people vote, and they don't talk about their votes, and they don't share their votes, and you have to dig it up, that just shows you how little that a lot of these representatives respect their constituents, because they know people aren't paying attention.

00:28:48.000 So they think they can get away with a lot of these really bad votes.

00:28:51.000 I'm a really big fan of what Tim Burchette does.

00:28:54.000 He basically goes live right as he's walking off the floor.

00:28:57.000 I frankly don't see why there isn't 435 members of Congress doing that.

00:29:01.000 I'm going to tell you what we just did in here because you're paying my paycheck.

00:29:03.000 It was the first time I had ever seen Tim Burchett, who we were able to have on last night, was through one of his videos walking off being like, here's what we voted on.

00:29:12.000 Here's why I did what I did.

00:29:13.000 I mean, for the most part, all of these congressional members have staffers.

00:29:18.000 They know what's coming down the pike. 0.97

00:29:19.000 They kind of know what legislation is coming up that day.

00:29:21.000 They're not totally surprised.

00:29:23.000 They should hopefully be able to use the internet, their outlets, to give an explanation to their voters.

00:29:30.000 I think that's why it seems like you can't trust politicians even when you supported them, you donated them, you elect them, because it's like once they get there it all goes behind closed doors and they're kind of moving behind the scenes and you don't know if that person is the same person that you maybe met at a rally or, you know, gave five dollars to or whatever it was.

00:29:46.000 The Supreme Court's got to do, I don't know if they have to, but they write opinions after they do a vote.

00:29:51.000 I would like to see Congress do that, but I'm with you.

00:29:53.000 I think they should do videos because we're in the 21st century.

00:29:56.000 Walk off the floor and do it.

00:29:57.000 Use the best technology on Earth or become the secondary power on Earth.

00:30:01.000 If we want to be the strongest authority on Earth, we need to use the best technology to do that.

00:30:05.000 Governors do this too, where they'll release a statement when they're like, OK, I have signed a bunch of bills today.

00:30:10.000 And, you know, sometimes they have lengthy explanations for one bill, why they're supporting it or why they're against it.

00:30:15.000 But sometimes it's just like, here are five bills that I signed into law.

00:30:18.000 Here's what it is.

00:30:19.000 I'm against them for it.

00:30:20.000 You know, you could do quick summaries.

00:30:22.000 This could be the way that the system leverages the opportunities that they have to communicate.

00:30:26.000 Because, again, if you live in one of these people's districts, I think you do want to know why Merrick Garland isn't being held accountable when defying a subpoena.

00:30:35.000 Other people do have to comply with these congressional subpoenas.

00:30:38.000 I hear a lot of people say, you gotta understand optics.

00:30:41.000 You know, oh, you know, Joe Biden's in such disarray.

00:30:45.000 That was Johnson's argument.

00:30:48.000 Yeah, these tapes would have exposed more of that.

00:30:50.000 So why block it?

00:30:52.000 It's basically a national security issue at this point.

00:30:53.000 I mean, like, there's a strong case being made for the 25th Amendment.

00:30:56.000 I mean, who's answering the phone at three in the morning when there's a crisis, you know, anywhere in the world?

00:31:00.000 And the other issue then is people saying, but these guys in California, these guys in Ohio are in, what did someone just say?

00:31:10.000 Soft red districts.

00:31:12.000 Democrats don't have a problem with that. 0.94

00:31:13.000 Democrats in swing districts, if Nancy Pelosi or Hakeem Jeffries goes to them and says that they want them to literally just scorched earth, swing district Democrats do it without question.

00:31:26.000 They do it.

00:31:27.000 The Democratic Party is unified even in vulnerable districts and the Republicans are not.

00:31:32.000 I'm going to need a strong argument because I'm not seeing it.

00:31:36.000 I see an argument for Trump.

00:31:37.000 Trump came out in support of Luna.

00:31:39.000 But for Republicans in Congress, I can only tell you this.

00:31:41.000 We got Riley Moore.

00:31:42.000 I'm excited about Riley.

00:31:44.000 Riley's a good dude.

00:31:45.000 So we're good where we're at.

00:31:46.000 I can't speak for the people of Ohio, but that's the real question, the real answer.

00:31:50.000 The real issue, I suppose, is if you live in those districts, you need to get on the phone and you need to ask them why they betrayed.

00:32:00.000 The rule of law in this country.

00:32:01.000 It's not about party.

00:32:02.000 I don't like the Republicans.

00:32:04.000 Ask them why it's okay that Steve Bannon's in prison right now, but Merrick Garland is not.

00:32:08.000 And why they think criminals should be allowed to walk free.

00:32:11.000 And ask them, why do they support Democrat policies which result in criminals being free?

00:32:18.000 Yeah, I think that's also one of the responsibilities we have as voters, which is to know who our elected representatives are and to be active in pursuing answers from them.

00:32:27.000 I think so often people are like, it happens far away from me, but really, you know, we've talked about this a couple of times on the show, but like, You send one email and that might actually be that 100th email they've gotten about it.

00:32:37.000 It might really have an effect.

00:32:38.000 Or you're pointing out something that they're not aware of, right?

00:32:41.000 If you're in Congress and you think nobody in my district cares about that, then it really matters if someone reaches out to you and says, I care about this issue.

00:32:47.000 This matters to me.

00:32:49.000 That's a lot of times what they're banking on is that nobody's paying attention.

00:32:51.000 Like my opponent has voted in lockstep with the Biden administration.

00:32:55.000 She comes back to the district and she speaks like a moderate.

00:32:57.000 So we've actually had to start an entire website where we track her votes so people can be aware of how she's voting in lockstep with Biden.

00:33:04.000 It's mariewatch.com or it's on my website joekentforcongress.com.

00:33:06.000 You can find it there.

00:33:07.000 So we've had to track that because she never talks about it.

00:33:10.000 Well, and wouldn't it be interesting if that's what the responsibility of the local paper was?

00:33:13.000 And maybe there are some local people that do that, right?

00:33:15.000 But they had one beat reporter that just tracks how the Congress, like both on the state and federal level, how those people vote and what it is.

00:33:23.000 It's just like one line summaries.

00:33:24.000 They voted yes on this.

00:33:25.000 They voted no on this.

00:33:26.000 You know, there might be things you have to look up for more intense explanation, but somebody should keep a record of how people who represent you are.

00:33:34.000 And I think that is sort of, you're right, what people are hoping, that they can not talk about what they voted no on and just talk about what they're working on.

00:33:43.000 I mean, I get that there is a lot going on in Congress, and I understand that maybe not every voter is going to be super informed on every issue.

00:33:49.000 On the other hand, you should have an explanation ready when someone says, why did you vote against this?

00:33:54.000 Is what are the rules on spending money on billboards and stuff?

00:33:58.000 Like, do you know, like, if I were to if I wanted to say, spend like 100 grand putting billboards in their districts in Ohio, saying that they have sold out their country and betrayed the American people?

00:34:08.000 Is there a restriction on that?

00:34:09.000 Or aren't you allowed to do it, right?

00:34:10.000 If you start a super PAC, you can spend an unlimited amount of money.

00:34:13.000 But even like me as an individual, can I just?

00:34:15.000 Yeah, you can do it.

00:34:17.000 The only red line is if you're coordinating with somebody, like a primary challenger, if you're coordinating with their campaign, you can't do that.

00:34:22.000 There's a limit on money for you to do that, but if you do it independently as a private citizen, it's on you.

00:34:27.000 Do targeted ads by location.

00:34:31.000 YouTube requires you to do this weird verification thing.

00:34:33.000 Maybe Facebook.

00:34:34.000 I think billboards would be more effective.

00:34:36.000 No, all of it.

00:34:37.000 Doing election ads on social media is very difficult.

00:34:39.000 It's very challenging.

00:34:40.000 So, like, even when I tried running ads on YouTube, the mere mention the word Trump flags you as a political ad.

00:34:46.000 Like, you could say, like, well, you know, pizza, Trumps, whatever, and, like, using the word Trump as literally Trump, and it's just like, nope, that's political, you said Trump, it's election year, whatever.

00:34:55.000 So, but I'm kind of feeling like maybe we should put together some kind of ads and launch it in their district.

00:35:03.000 I don't know.

00:35:04.000 It's a question... You know what I think?

00:35:06.000 I think I want to do it.

00:35:08.000 And I don't know if it matters all that much.

00:35:09.000 Maybe I'll just do it in the next couple of weeks.

00:35:11.000 I'll call my broker for billboard ads.

00:35:15.000 Because I don't really care how this will impact...

00:35:21.000 I don't think it will impact anything related to the upcoming election, and the primaries are over. 0.55

00:35:25.000 So I more so just want to insult them, because they are bad people.

00:35:29.000 That you can do.

00:35:30.000 The problem with getting a guy out of office is any press is good press, for the most part.

00:35:35.000 So an ad that says, he's a horrible guy, don't vote for him, is just giving that guy free media attention, he's making him famous.

00:35:42.000 Yes and no.

00:35:43.000 Unless you have a candidate that you can run against him that you want to promote, but that then becomes, you need a PAC.

00:35:48.000 Yes and no.

00:35:49.000 For celebrities, There's no such thing as bad press.

00:35:53.000 For politicians, bad press just has to be done in a certain way, right?

00:35:58.000 So you could praise him for refusing to uphold the law.

00:36:03.000 You could say, you know what, sarcastically, it's a good thing that he voted to allow criminals to walk free.

00:36:10.000 And then people are going to say, what does that mean?

00:36:13.000 And make them ask the question.

00:36:14.000 And then make him say whatever he wants to say to counter it.

00:36:17.000 But these are bad people.

00:36:19.000 I'm so sick of these people in Congress.

00:36:20.000 There's only a small handful of good people.

00:36:24.000 And they've come on this show.

00:36:25.000 And they talk to us about it. 0.93

00:36:27.000 But these other scumbag rhino establishment shills will sell this country down the river and then buy the stock on China so they can profit as it's happening. 0.98

00:36:37.000 Yep. 0.97

00:36:38.000 But I do think when you get the right candidate and the right messaging, people are starting to wake up.

00:36:38.000 Gone on for too long.

00:36:43.000 People are getting more engaged.

00:36:44.000 I mean, that's how you get Ana Paulina Luna.

00:36:45.000 That's how you get Matt Gaetz and a lot of good guys in the Freedom Caucus, Tim Burchette.

00:36:50.000 So we're slowly making progress.

00:36:51.000 We just need people to stay engaged.

00:36:53.000 And sometimes bad people do good things.

00:36:55.000 Good people do bad things.

00:36:58.000 I wonder about the Founding Fathers, and I've just got such, like, an idealized version of them in my mind.

00:37:02.000 I think they're all, like, great men, just paragons of virtue. 0.97

00:37:06.000 And Ben Franklin's, like, an alcoholic philanderer, had sex with women and kids out of wedlock. 0.99

00:37:11.000 God knows the horrible things he said to people and did to people behind curtains. 0.92

00:37:15.000 But because of what he did for society, he's lauded as a hero.

00:37:19.000 And I think we're just seeing a lot of the Maybe good people doing evil, doing bad, or sometimes their horrible behavior is getting propagated. 0.98

00:37:30.000 Like Trump, people went after him for his behavior because he said Rosie O'Donnell was a fat pig. 0.71

00:37:36.000 But the things he was doing was like keeping us out of wars in the Middle East for the most part. 0.88

00:37:40.000 He was trying to end the wars in the Middle East.

00:37:42.000 So history would look at that as a good president trying to end the wars, get America out of the war.

00:37:48.000 I think it is a spin issue.

00:37:49.000 I mean this is when Jim Imhoff, the senator from Oklahoma died, the Washington Post ran this thing that was like this anti-climate whatever and actually he has a really long history.

00:37:58.000 He served in the Senate for an incredibly long time.

00:38:00.000 I don't need you to love everything he did but like if you make everything about your own personal vendetta against people you're actually completely slanted in your presentation of history.

00:38:09.000 Let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.

00:38:11.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the House has passed the bill to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote, and 198 Democrats tried to block it.

00:38:20.000 Yeah, interestingly.

00:38:22.000 The House approved a measure Wednesday to require proof of U.S.

00:38:25.000 citizenship when registering to vote, a measure strongly opposed by top Democrats.

00:38:30.000 A majority of 216 Republicans and five Democrats voted to pass the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility Act, with swing district reps Henry Cuellar of Texas, Vincente Gonzalez, Jared Golden, Don Davis, and Marie Glusenkamp Perez among those crossing party lines.

00:38:44.000 Now, for those that are watching live, I will say I stand corrected when I said Democrats march in lockstep with their party.

00:38:51.000 In this instance, swing Democrats actually did defect, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because Republicans were definitely going to pass this.

00:38:58.000 And also, it wouldn't matter anyway because it will die in the Senate, or actually it'll never make it to the Senate, and Biden would veto it anyway.

00:39:07.000 With those five that crossed party lines, just before that, those five voted with all the Democrats to keep that bill off the floor.

00:39:14.000 So my opponent's one of those five.

00:39:16.000 But when the bill came up for the procedural vote to put it on the floor, every single Democrat, including those five, voted against it.

00:39:23.000 And then once it was going to be on the floor, leadership approved the five swing districts who are vulnerable right now.

00:39:29.000 I'm up in the polls.

00:39:30.000 Let them vote with the Republicans, because like you said, it's going to die in the Senate.

00:39:34.000 Yep.

00:39:34.000 And that way they can go home and say, look, look, look, look at the things that I did.

00:39:37.000 He's lying about me.

00:39:38.000 I don't want illegal immigrants to vote in our elections. 1.00

00:39:42.000 It's interesting because it would be nice to see authenticity on this issue because I think it does affect all Americans.

00:39:48.000 I mean, we talk about illegal immigration in terms of crime.

00:39:51.000 It affects every American in terms of the crime.

00:39:54.000 You talked about the drug trafficking across the border, the effect it has on the area you live in.

00:39:59.000 There have been reports that, you know, African-American voters are saying, hey, this is actually disproportionately affecting me because you're making it so I'm having a harder time with employment.

00:40:08.000 There are challenges that I'm facing because of this.

00:40:11.000 I mean, I think People have a more nuanced understanding of the complexity of allowing illegal immigration to flood across the border.

00:40:19.000 And so we actually behoove a lot of Democrats to say, hey, we take the verification of who is participating in the election seriously because we know it really could affect you and affect your life.

00:40:30.000 I don't think that has to be like some sort of weird race issue.

00:40:33.000 I mean, even the White House, when they condemned this act, were saying one of their complaints was it'll make it harder for Americans to Vote, as if Americans can't produce some sort of ID or verification that they are citizens.

00:40:45.000 I mean, it's just so ridiculous that it's obvious why they want this bill to go through.

00:40:50.000 But when you are registering to vote, typically, most people through the DMV, you have brought your piece of mail, your birth certificate, your social security card, and your credit cards with you to get your ID in the first place. 0.79

00:41:01.000 The idea that you could not produce any of that to register to vote, but you have to to get an ID, it's just bonkers.

00:41:07.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:41:08.000 That's how threadbare the defense against it from the White House was.

00:41:10.000 And again, it stands to reason that there are Democrats who, you know, I think you're right.

00:41:16.000 They probably all were like, well, I really need to vote for this because of my constituents.

00:41:20.000 Hopefully there are at least some of them that can see the logical thread of like, no, it's worth verifying who is voting in the elections.

00:41:26.000 Asking for proof of citizenship isn't a racist act.

00:41:28.000 It's just, hey, you should be a citizen here to vote in the country.

00:41:31.000 That's who gets to vote here.

00:41:33.000 Yeah.

00:41:33.000 You know, like two years ago when we said that Biden opened up the border to flood the country to skew the census numbers so that they could get more allocation of U.S.

00:41:41.000 House of Representative seats, they could get more electoral college votes, they could eventually get these people to vote.

00:41:45.000 They said that we are conspiracy theorists, we are racist, we are horrible.

00:41:48.000 This is the second vote where they've proven exactly what their intent is.

00:41:52.000 A month ago, the Republicans put forward a bill that said only American citizens would be counted in the census, and only American citizens would be counted when it comes time to allocate U.S.

00:42:00.000 House of Representative seats, electoral college votes.

00:42:02.000 All the Democrats voted against that.

00:42:04.000 So this is now the second time the Democrats have said they basically want illegal immigrants and non-American citizens voting in our elections, completely and totally disrespecting American citizens and our ability to choose our own government.

00:42:17.000 I've been thinking about it a little bit because the White House had said at one point when they condemned this act, they were saying, oh, well, it's already illegal for illegal immigrants to vote in our elections.

00:42:26.000 But then we talk about the H-A-V-V, the voter verification system and how many people come up as a non-match.

00:42:32.000 And it makes me think like, OK, well, if you think it's if you believe the laws reinforce, this shouldn't offend you.

00:42:38.000 And then also you should think it's good because someone who doesn't speak our language, who's trying to get a driver's license or whatever, may not understand that they are being registered to vote and then you're setting up for failure.

00:42:49.000 I mean, it's just it's so illogical that they would be opposed to this unless they're just going to be direct about what they want.

00:42:55.000 My response when they said, it's already illegal for them to for non-citizens to vote.

00:42:59.000 Why make the law?

00:43:00.000 And I said, you're right.

00:43:01.000 Murder is already illegal, too.

00:43:02.000 Why ban guns?

00:43:03.000 Right.

00:43:03.000 Exactly.

00:43:04.000 Great.

00:43:05.000 There we go.

00:43:06.000 So we're so so you appeal the NFA and then we won't worry about this one, I guess.

00:43:10.000 I don't know.

00:43:11.000 Do you think it's good that they brought this to the floor anyways, even though it'll die in the Senate?

00:43:14.000 You think yes?

00:43:15.000 Yeah, it's very good.

00:43:16.000 It's very good to show exactly what would happen if the Democrats get control of the U.S.

00:43:20.000 House, if they continue to have control of the Senate, and if they get control of the executive branch, and to put them on record.

00:43:25.000 They're on record right here, and I really encourage people to look at the procedural vote.

00:43:28.000 Because procedure really dictates and a lot of times trumps policy.

00:43:32.000 If you can control procedure, you can control policy.

00:43:35.000 And every time the Democrats put forward pieces of legislation, they vote in lockstep on the procedural vote.

00:43:40.000 And anytime they go to block anything the Republicans are doing, like closing down the border, stopping inflation, preventing illegals from voting, the Democrats will vote in lockstep to attempt to kill it before it goes on the floor.

00:43:50.000 Yeah, I think it's good too.

00:43:52.000 And the reason procedure is more valuable is because deciding what gets seen, because people are going to vote yes on whatever they see, if they're going to vote yes at all.

00:44:03.000 So you say they'll get lockstep on the procedure to try and make sure things don't come to the floor, but then if they do, they're like, well, we can send like nine of our guys to vote yes on that because we can afford it.

00:44:13.000 So it's a pretty big deal when you vote against the rule vote that your own party puts forward, and you never see Democrats do that.

00:44:21.000 Democrats will always vote in lockstep.

00:44:22.000 If Republicans go to put a bill forward and the House leadership, the minority leadership in this case, says don't vote for that, all the Democrats won't vote for it.

00:44:31.000 Same thing when they have the majority.

00:44:32.000 I mean, Pelosi had an iron fist.

00:44:34.000 She made sure everybody was voting for all her rules.

00:44:36.000 You don't see that as much on the Republican side.

00:44:38.000 There's a lot of Republicans, the Freedom Caucus types, a lot of types that you guys have on this show.

00:44:42.000 They will vote against the procedural vote to jam it up if they don't agree with the bill.

00:44:47.000 They won't vote straight party line.

00:44:49.000 They will vote with their conscience and with their district.

00:44:51.000 You know what?

00:44:52.000 I just saw this really great super chat from Gary Marks.

00:44:55.000 He says, you can't even buy Sudafed cold medicine without ID.

00:45:00.000 Combine that statement with the Democrats' arguments against voter ID.

00:45:05.000 Which is?

00:45:06.000 Well, you can't expect people to have ideas and know where to get them.

00:45:09.000 Which people?

00:45:10.000 Just whichever.

00:45:11.000 We can't say.

00:45:12.000 What's the Democrat argument?

00:45:14.000 Disenfranchised poor people. 0.65

00:45:17.000 The Democrat argument is that predominantly Latino and black people don't know how to get IDs.

00:45:22.000 How can they get Sudafed?

00:45:23.000 So then think about these cities that have banned the sale of Sudafed without ID and what they're trying to say.

00:45:30.000 Democrats, what are you implying about the minority community when you require them to have IDs to buy cold medicine?

00:45:36.000 They're making a very, very interesting statement by doing that.

00:45:43.000 I mean, you can't apply logic to it.

00:45:45.000 It's right up your face.

00:45:45.000 They basically want illegals to vote.

00:45:47.000 Anytime you make a logical argument, they're like, yes, but the borders open and we're trying to flood the zone.

00:45:52.000 Yes, but this is how we'll be voting on this issue.

00:45:54.000 Stop talking.

00:45:55.000 Exactly.

00:45:55.000 I think that's the other part.

00:45:56.000 There's a lot of we don't want to continue to have to have these conversations.

00:46:00.000 And I think even four years ago, you could have been like, They would have thrown out racism, right?

00:46:05.000 They would have been like, you're a racist if you vote for this.

00:46:07.000 And there wasn't that kind of complaint right now. 0.99

00:46:10.000 It was like, this is ridiculous.

00:46:11.000 I saw a couple quotes in the Independent article we had up earlier. 0.78

00:46:15.000 The minority leader, when she was asked about Annapolina Luna's bill, was like, it's just a waste of time.

00:46:21.000 There's a shift in narrative of being like, well, it's ridiculous.

00:46:25.000 The White House saying, oh, the SAVE Act isn't necessary.

00:46:28.000 It's going from And they don't do this on everything, but on some of these issues, it's less about attacking you to make you feel bad and feel scared to vote for it.

00:46:35.000 It's more about like, well, actually, you guys are just wasting time. 0.96

00:46:38.000 This is ridiculous. 0.58

00:46:39.000 Again, I think it's to kind of distance themselves from the conversation entirely. 0.95

00:46:43.000 And to just be dismissive of it, like, oh, no, this isn't a real thing.

00:46:46.000 That's not really happening.

00:46:48.000 And it's like, well, then why did you guys open the border up?

00:46:50.000 Yeah.

00:46:51.000 Are there any other issues?

00:46:52.000 I liked what you said before that, like, now we have on record who is voting on this and how they voted.

00:46:56.000 And to your point, the procedural vote might be more indicative than the actual vote.

00:47:00.000 Are there any other issues like this that you would like to see brought before Congress to see how representatives shake out before the election?

00:47:09.000 I think that we should continue to vote on H.R.

00:47:11.000 2, the Secure the Border Act.

00:47:13.000 I think that should be brought up pretty much every week and put people on record because the Democrats right now are in full retreat mode from the Biden agenda.

00:47:21.000 After the debate, the Democrats were all like, oh, they're distancing themselves from Biden after voting in lockstep with the Biden agenda.

00:47:27.000 So it's kind of like, what's the deal, guys?

00:47:28.000 Were you following Biden or did you know that he was mentally declined and what's your excuse for following him?

00:47:34.000 But I would like to see H.R.

00:47:35.000 2, the Secure the Border Act, put forward basically every single week to put people on record.

00:47:40.000 Like we have an invasion on our southern border.

00:47:42.000 What is your excuse for not addressing that?

00:47:43.000 People are dying in my district and throughout the country from fentanyl.

00:47:47.000 What is the excuse for taking no action?

00:47:49.000 And I think they should tie it to funding.

00:47:50.000 I think that's worth shutting the government down over saying, hey, we're not going to fund this government one penny until the executive branch actually secures the border.

00:47:59.000 If you need extra tools, here's H.R.

00:48:00.000 2.

00:48:01.000 It's sitting on Schumer's desk.

00:48:02.000 Sign it tomorrow.

00:48:03.000 Yeah.

00:48:05.000 You're saying your district in Washington?

00:48:07.000 Is it coming across the Canadian border?

00:48:09.000 Some is coming across the Canadian border as far as illegal immigration goes.

00:48:12.000 I don't think we've seen an uptick from the fentanyl and narcotics trafficking.

00:48:16.000 That's all coming from south of the border, the San Diego area.

00:48:19.000 But basically the I-5 corridor is the fentanyl expressway because Washington, Oregon, And California all have very, very lax drug control measures.

00:48:28.000 They're all sanctuary states as well.

00:48:30.000 So the amount of illegal activity that takes place on that corridor, in particular the trafficking of fentanyl, it's just off the charts.

00:48:37.000 We've seen a skyrocketing numbers of people dying from fentanyl overdoses.

00:48:41.000 In our district, I've done ride-alongs of all our different county law enforcement, talked to the DEA task force, and they say all of it's coming right from across the southern border.

00:48:48.000 When you say secure the border, are you concerned about the Canadian border?

00:48:52.000 No, I am for sure.

00:48:53.000 Because of the CBP-1 app, basically the ability to fly into the U.S.

00:48:57.000 directly or fly into Canada and then cross the Canadian border, a lot of people from China, from Southwest Asia, are coming into Canada to Vancouver, Vancouver and Canada, and then coming across the border that way, because they can basically book their travel through the CBP One app to get access to the country and declare asylum.

00:49:18.000 That's another big thing that HR2 closed, it closed the asylum loophole.

00:49:22.000 Because basically under Trump, you had either remain in Mexico or go to the first safe third country, you couldn't come directly to America.

00:49:28.000 Biden got rid of that.

00:49:29.000 That's why if you look at the footage from the border, I've been down there twice, the people that are coming into the country illegally, They're not running away from the Border Patrol. 0.92

00:49:36.000 They're running to the Border Patrol so that they can claim asylum right away.

00:49:39.000 That automatically then gives them a legal status inside the U.S.

00:49:43.000 That's why you hear AOC say, well, it's not illegal to declare asylum because we're basically granting these people a legal status almost immediately.

00:49:50.000 It's like subsidized immigration in some way because you say asylum and they're like, OK, well, now you can stay.

00:49:55.000 It's going to make it harder to deport them.

00:49:57.000 Is it like a random guy with no ID comes across the border, a 27-year-old guy, speaks Spanish, you don't know who he is, where he's from, and he's like, I'm running away from the Venezuelan corruption. 0.92

00:50:07.000 And you're like, okay, welcome to the United States.

00:50:09.000 They know exactly what to say.

00:50:10.000 And here's a work permit and a social security number.

00:50:12.000 And a lot of them will ditch their IDs.

00:50:14.000 When I was down there in San Diego, we did a whole video on it on my social media.

00:50:17.000 There is just a massive amount of ID cards from all over the world that are getting thrown right on the Mexican side of the border, right on the U.S.

00:50:23.000 side of the border.

00:50:23.000 So these guys will come, they'll ditch their documents, they'll go, they'll claim asylum and say, hey, I'm being persecuted in my home country because of my political affiliation, my sexual orientation, my race.

00:50:33.000 They know all those buzzwords to say.

00:50:35.000 And that gives them a parole status in the country.

00:50:37.000 But if without documentation, without an actual ID card of knowing who they are, it makes it even harder to vet them.

00:50:42.000 But they've already been given a legal status into the United States.

00:50:45.000 They could have a fake name.

00:50:46.000 100%.

00:50:46.000 Yeah, the Mexican government is issuing temporary IDs to Chinese nationals.

00:50:52.000 So we found a lot of Mexican ID cards down there at the border that actually have, you know, you can tell you can look at the picture and you can look at the name.

00:50:58.000 It's a Chinese person.

00:51:00.000 But they've been given that ID card to give them a temporary status in Mexico as long as they're transiting through Mexico.

00:51:05.000 Across the border.

00:51:06.000 The Chinese or the Mexicans are doing that? 0.96

00:51:09.000 The Mexican government is giving them, giving these ID cards, these temporary IDs to Chinese citizens.

00:51:14.000 I think they pay a couple hundred bucks for it.

00:51:16.000 And as long as they have a limited amount of time, they stay in Mexico and they're transiting through to come to the U.S., that gives them a legal status inside Mexico, right?

00:51:24.000 Those ID cards are useless to them once they get to America.

00:51:27.000 So they ditch them.

00:51:27.000 There's guys down there who are ranchers along the border that have entire walls full of these ID cards.

00:51:33.000 Yep.

00:51:34.000 It's wild how abused the system is, in large part because people know they can cross into America. 0.62

00:51:40.000 And especially under Joe Biden, they know that the way he's positioned himself and the way his government works, they're going to allow you to stay.

00:51:45.000 Because once you declare asylum, and they're like, great, we're going to vet you, here's some paperwork, come back later. 0.92

00:51:51.000 Maybe some people come back for their appointments or for their hearings and stuff, but like probably not.

00:51:56.000 And so you have people who have this claim to asylum but are not actually going, not completing the asylum process or the asylum dates are years and years out and it just becomes this terrible system.

00:52:05.000 And then you'll get, you know, to Democrats especially being like, well, we need better cameras and more judges and really we just need to stop incentivizing people to illegally enter the country.

00:52:15.000 Yeah, none of the Democrat proposals have fixed the asylum loophole.

00:52:18.000 Only H.R.

00:52:19.000 2 fixes the asylum loophole.

00:52:20.000 And that's something we've got to get our hands around.

00:52:22.000 Otherwise, we're going to continue to have the invasion.

00:52:24.000 Let's jump to the story from The Washington Post.

00:52:27.000 The opinion of Democratic Senator Peter Welch, Biden should withdraw for the good of the country.

00:52:34.000 The stakes this November could not be higher.

00:52:36.000 He says, I have great respect for President Biden.

00:52:38.000 He saved our country from a tyrant.

00:52:40.000 He's a man of uncommon decency.

00:52:41.000 He cares deeply about our democracy.

00:52:43.000 He has been one of the best presidents of our time.

00:52:45.000 But I, like folks across the country, am worried about November's election.

00:52:48.000 The stakes could not be higher.

00:52:50.000 We cannot unsee President Biden's disastrous debate performance.

00:52:53.000 We cannot ignore or dismiss the valid questions raised since that night.

00:52:57.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:52:58.000 He basically was going to say, for the good of the party, you get the idea.

00:53:01.000 I want to stress this as we enter this segment.

00:53:04.000 In 2020, March of 2020, The Atlantic published Stay Alive, Joe Biden.

00:53:09.000 Democrats need little more from you than your corporeal presence.

00:53:12.000 There were questions about whether Biden was too old and whether he was dying, whether the plates in his brain would negatively impact his ability to do the job.

00:53:21.000 And that conversation was four years ago.

00:53:24.000 We have since then seen so many videos.

00:53:31.000 So we know, those of us that have paid attention, so has Peter Welch.

00:53:35.000 Peter Welch knows this.

00:53:36.000 There is not a reality in which a senator who is more embroiled in politics than we is not aware of these videos and what is afflicting the Democratic Party because it affects everybody down ballot.

00:53:48.000 For him to come out now and say, we are shocked to have seen this.

00:53:52.000 He's spitting in your face and he's laughing at you as he does. 0.98

00:53:56.000 Democrats right now that are acting like they did not know they are lying to you because they are evil.

00:54:02.000 Especially Senate Democrats who worked Joe Biden for years and years and years.

00:54:07.000 Right.

00:54:07.000 There are people who were elected around the same time and who are still in office who are saying, like, everything's fine.

00:54:13.000 I don't see a problem.

00:54:14.000 That's just that cannot be true.

00:54:17.000 Right.

00:54:17.000 If I worked here, I mean, I do.

00:54:19.000 I work here every day.

00:54:20.000 And if I stopped being able to speak correctly, not that I'm super articulate as it is right now, everyone in this room would notice.

00:54:28.000 I mean, it's just not possible that his colleagues in the Senate are not aware of what's going on, especially because he's such a public figure.

00:54:34.000 There's that phenomenon where if you hang out with somebody every day and they're getting fat, fatter and fatter, you don't notice it.

00:54:39.000 Whereas people that haven't seen them in a long time are like, whoa, you've gained 15 pounds of fat in your face. 1.00

00:54:44.000 So people might, that might've been happening with Biden, but that just indicates that they're stupid and they're not perceptive. 0.95

00:54:49.000 Right, and they worked with him intensely for years in the Senate, then he became the VP, then he took some time off, he still hangs around Washington, and they're still seeing him. 0.97

00:54:57.000 I mean, to your point, yes, maybe if every single day you see someone you don't notice all of the changes, but they are familiar with him, they knew him at his prime, so to speak, and they have still been exposed to him.

00:55:07.000 You can't tell me they don't see any change at all.

00:55:10.000 That's just lying.

00:55:11.000 I think Peter Welch is interesting because he's the first senator to come out and say you should step down.

00:55:16.000 I mean, it's like, what, nine members of the House who have said something to that effect at this point.

00:55:22.000 But I don't know how you feel about this.

00:55:24.000 I really don't think Biden is going to step down.

00:55:26.000 I think he's going to continue with both the current presidency and his efforts for re-election.

00:55:32.000 I think we can't let it matter whether Biden stays or not, because these Biden policies are destroying the country.

00:55:38.000 So we can't let the Democrats do a bait and switch right now.

00:55:40.000 Like, look, if the country was on a good track or even just like, I don't know, it's kind of a toss up.

00:55:46.000 The Democrats wouldn't even be talking about switching out their guy, no matter what he said on the debate stage.

00:55:51.000 They would actually have something to run on.

00:55:53.000 The Democrats have nothing to run on right now.

00:55:55.000 They're not going to talk about the border because they're destroying our country through illegal immigration and through fentanyl.

00:56:00.000 They're not going to talk about the economy.

00:56:02.000 Americans are getting destroyed right now by Bidenomics and by this economy.

00:56:06.000 And the list goes on.

00:56:07.000 We're on the cusp of World War III.

00:56:08.000 The Democrats won't run on any of this.

00:56:10.000 All they're trying to do is fearmonger about Trump, about Project 2025.

00:56:12.000 And they're going to try and use this Biden bait and switch to give them a pass for voting for all these Biden policies.

00:56:19.000 They all need to be held accountable.

00:56:20.000 I mean, my opponent, Peter Welch, all these guys.

00:56:23.000 Okay, if you guys knew or you think that Biden is declining, why were you voting for his policies?

00:56:28.000 Oh, and better question is, who's creating these policies?

00:56:30.000 Because it's evident after watching that debate performance, it's not Joe Biden creating these policies.

00:56:35.000 So who is it?

00:56:35.000 That's what Congress should be trying to get to the bottom of right now.

00:56:37.000 Who is making the key decisions in the Oval Office during the Afghanistan withdrawal, during the Ukraine crisis?

00:56:43.000 Who just authorized American missiles to be shot from Ukraine into Russia, putting us closer to World War III than we've been since the Cuban Missile Crisis?

00:56:51.000 Because it's clear it wasn't the guy that was on the debate stage, and he's the person that, ostensibly, the American people elected to be the commander-in-chief.

00:56:59.000 So we can't let the Democrats skate with this theater.

00:57:02.000 I don't think it matters who they put forward.

00:57:03.000 We've got to hold them accountable for the damage they've done to the country.

00:57:07.000 I think you're right.

00:57:07.000 I think that they're, again, Tim Burchette, who we had on last night, was saying we just can't get complacent because it's not just about the presidency.

00:57:16.000 It's about the down ticket races and having a Senate House and also, I would argue, state level offices that are willing to, they want to pursue policies that are really for the American people.

00:57:29.000 And I think some of the downside of constantly being on a news cycle that's like, what's going on with Biden?

00:57:33.000 Is he dropping out?

00:57:34.000 Is that there are lots of things happening that we are not paying attention to.

00:57:39.000 That being said, it is fascinating to see how many people are starting to feel comfortable enough to say like, oh, no, he's not saying maybe George Clooney just penned an op-ed where he was like, the man who was at the fundraiser I was at three weeks ago was not the same one as 2020.

00:57:53.000 Sir, why did you not say something three weeks ago?

00:57:54.000 Like, where have you been this whole time, except for the fact that you obviously have some side of clout as a Democratic fundraiser?

00:58:01.000 Yeah, I think the not getting complacent is key, because Republicans, we did this in 2022, we said, oh, it's going to be a big red wave.

00:58:07.000 Things are trending so badly in the country, people make a different decision.

00:58:10.000 Look, the Democrats know how to do very, very tricky things when it comes to getting enough ballots across the finish line.

00:58:16.000 That doesn't mean they won the argument politically.

00:58:18.000 That means execution-wise, their machinery was able to get ballots across the finish line to get them to the top of the ticket.

00:58:24.000 And so I fear they're doing that right now behind the scenes.

00:58:27.000 We know they already are.

00:58:28.000 And Republicans are going to get complacent and think, well, this is in the bag.

00:58:32.000 There's no way that Trump and the Republicans lose.

00:58:34.000 So stay focused.

00:58:35.000 Well, I got bad news for everybody.

00:58:37.000 David Joyce is in a safe Republican district.

00:58:40.000 He had no reason to block the subpoena of Merrick Garland.

00:58:44.000 In the past two elections, it's been two to one Republican and Democrat in his district.

00:58:48.000 He is in a safe Republican district.

00:58:51.000 So he just sold out for no reason.

00:58:53.000 He just burned it all down for no reason.

00:58:55.000 That's why I think you should have a statement ready to go.

00:58:57.000 If you're going to vote against something like this, you should be like, here is my reasoning.

00:59:00.000 I may not agree with it, but you should be prepared to publicly say this is the decision I made before someone has to say, you know, send a reporter or someone at your office to say, why did you vote that way?

00:59:09.000 Again, maybe there's a statement I haven't seen.

00:59:11.000 I checked everyone's X account.

00:59:13.000 Maybe they have something on their website, but typically X is the fastest way to get statements out.

00:59:17.000 And I didn't see anything.

00:59:18.000 Same.

00:59:18.000 force them to read the bill because if you can't make a statement, it'd be

00:59:21.000 challenging to make a statement on something you didn't read.

00:59:23.000 That's like me in college, in mid-class.

00:59:25.000 I somehow got through the class, but I didn't run for office.

00:59:29.000 I mean, they should read the bills they're voting on.

00:59:31.000 But in this case, you know, if you know the gist of the bill and you're like,

00:59:34.000 well, I'm voting against it, you know, I don't I don't want to hold Merrick

00:59:37.000 Garland responsible for anything.

00:59:38.000 Same deal for Turner.

00:59:39.000 Turner won the 2022 midterm 61.

00:59:42.000 Same margin as Joyce.

00:59:46.000 These guys are in safe districts.

00:59:48.000 They just burnt it down because they hate you. 1.00

00:59:50.000 Because they are scumbags. 1.00

00:59:52.000 Pieces of trash. 1.00

00:59:54.000 I want to know the rest of their voting record, too. 0.86

00:59:56.000 I mean, I don't know anything about them, so it's hard to say, like, what else or why they would be appealing.

01:00:01.000 But again, like, if this is the only way I'm learning about you on sort of a national stage, I really wish that you had posted a statement, because I think we should know.

01:00:10.000 Is it a single bill, like a single topic bill?

01:00:14.000 It was a resolution.

01:00:16.000 And it was unilateral authority of Congress, meaning it didn't have to go to the Senate or anything.

01:00:20.000 It was literally just, he has defied Congress, Congress will now fine him money until he complies.

01:00:25.000 And it was for information that could potentially be damaging to Joe Biden, which everyone seems to want.

01:00:30.000 This makes literally no sense.

01:00:33.000 These guys, I'm willing to bet, sabotaged this because Johnson was like, don't let it pass.

01:00:38.000 Did Johnson vote against it, too?

01:00:39.000 He was against it from the get-go, and was like, look, I'll vote on it if it comes up, but I don't know why we're even doing it.

01:00:44.000 Like, Biden's doing bad enough by himself.

01:00:47.000 And the sentiment was typically reported as, That if Biden's in this scandal already, we don't need to make Garland the boogeyman. 0.93

01:00:56.000 And if Republicans want to go to Congress and play politics instead of upholding the law, it's exactly why they suck and why everybody—it's why people don't like them.

01:01:06.000 It sounds like they got some bureaucrats that are in safe districts assuming they're going to get re-elected because their constituents are heavily— Because if they did it in a soft red, then the populist base would say, later, We're not voting for you, and then the Democrat would win.

01:01:20.000 But you get a couple guys in safe red, they can betray the voter base, they can betray the rule of law in this country, and they'll probably end up winning anyway.

01:01:26.000 That's sort of because the bureaucracy is tangled with these dudes financially, and they don't want to disrupt the power structure yet.

01:01:34.000 They're waiting until they can do a swap, like an Indiana Jones style.

01:01:38.000 They need the idol before they can take the sack of gold, or they need this bag of sand.

01:01:43.000 So, like, they're trying to – they're like, no, it'll destabilize things too much if we put this through, if we lose our – Merrick Garland goes to jail.

01:01:50.000 That's unprecedented.

01:01:52.000 We can't allow that kind of disruption.

01:01:54.000 Mike Johnson went into the – what did he go?

01:01:57.000 He went into the skiff?

01:01:57.000 Or where did he go with the deep state?

01:01:59.000 He got the briefing.

01:02:00.000 And he comes out and he's like, you know, I used to agree with my colleagues on the issues and the excesses of the FBI, but you know, once they brought me in the back room, I kind of understood where they were coming from and now I'm on their side.

01:02:10.000 And it's like, what, did they smack you up with a sock full of oranges or something?

01:02:13.000 That was confusing to me.

01:02:14.000 Massey said he was in the skiff with him and Johnson basically lied.

01:02:17.000 That whole story was a makeup lie.

01:02:19.000 I don't know.

01:02:20.000 Do you think Johnson will get reelected as Speaker?

01:02:22.000 I don't know.

01:02:22.000 Do you have an opinion?

01:02:24.000 It's hard to say.

01:02:25.000 I know you're not there day to day.

01:02:26.000 If you look at how challenging it was for McCarthy to get elected, 20 plus votes or so, I think it's going to be a fight because look, I mean, I know some Republicans don't like this, but Republicans aren't afraid to have their own internal wars out in public and say, hey, I don't support leadership.

01:02:41.000 I'm going to go against this.

01:02:42.000 That can be frustrating to some people sometimes.

01:02:44.000 I think it's a good thing because we're actually saying, hey, we are elected to represent people back in our districts and we're going to be accountable to them regardless of what our party says.

01:02:54.000 I think it's key that we take a strong majority and we have a good, strong majority of people that are on the new right, populist right, whatever you want to call it, that are actually going to wield power properly and stand up to whether it's Merrick Garland or standing up to the guys in the SCIF.

01:03:08.000 I mean, I worked in SCIF for most of my military career and some time in the CIA.

01:03:11.000 And it's like the people that they send to the Hill to give briefings.

01:03:16.000 They're not just analysts that are giving briefings.

01:03:18.000 Those guys are ops officers.

01:03:19.000 They're trained at handling people.

01:03:20.000 They're trained at pushing an agenda and they have an agenda that they're pushing.

01:03:25.000 And we need to understand that going into it.

01:03:27.000 Congress's entire job is to hold them accountable.

01:03:30.000 Otherwise, no one else will.

01:03:32.000 And so that's very dangerous when you have people that are just going to listen to whatever is put out in the skiff.

01:03:38.000 Yeah, I'm a bit demoralized after this.

01:03:40.000 I'm not sure how I feel or what's going to get me over that hill again.

01:03:44.000 But if two deep red Republicans are going to take a dump on the floor of the House, It's going to take a lot to get me back on track to actually want to vote for any of these guys.

01:03:54.000 Like I said, what am I going to do?

01:03:56.000 We got Riley Moore and we got Trump.

01:03:58.000 Those are our options here.

01:04:00.000 The Senate race.

01:04:00.000 I don't know if I care about West Virginia's Senate race.

01:04:02.000 I'm probably going to abstain. 0.99

01:04:03.000 I don't give a crap. 0.99

01:04:04.000 But of course I'm voting for Riley Moore. 0.99

01:04:06.000 In fact, I don't even need to.

01:04:07.000 He won.

01:04:08.000 He won the primary.

01:04:09.000 He's in deep red.

01:04:10.000 And I'm hoping he can do some good.

01:04:11.000 But in terms of the sentiment, wow. 1.00

01:04:14.000 The party is weak, ineffective, spineless, jellyfish losers. 1.00

01:04:21.000 They are out of touch with the country. 1.00

01:04:23.000 They don't know how to lead effectively. 1.00

01:04:26.000 The leadership is a bunch of crackpot tyrannical morons like McCarthy, and now Johnson's taking a dump all over the floor. 1.00

01:04:32.000 These people are trash. 1.00

01:04:34.000 So I'm just like... I mean, look, I know Riley, so I know at least we're good here, but that's not confidence building for what anyone else is supposed to think. 0.99

01:04:44.000 It's a tee up.

01:04:45.000 It's Congress's authority to do this.

01:04:47.000 It is equality under the law.

01:04:49.000 And they said no.

01:04:51.000 So I'm just, I'm over it.

01:04:52.000 I guess I can see why it's discouraging, but I feel like it makes me want to be more careful

01:04:57.000 and pay more attention to who I'm voting for.

01:04:59.000 Because I think, again, you have to really know who you're sending.

01:05:03.000 And especially if, again, I don't know anything about these Republicans, so it's hard for me to comment on their career or their record or anything like that.

01:05:08.000 But hypothetically, if you have a Republican or Democrat who's in a district that knows they're going to get reelected, they've been in office forever, it would be easy for the voters and for the candidate to become complacent to take that for granted.

01:05:19.000 And it would mean that you have to stay more on top of what they're doing.

01:05:24.000 I think so often we get sort of We're so angry with the federal government, and then we should be, but we have the option to try and change it.

01:05:34.000 It's so easy to be like, well, I forgot you guys, I'm not going to do anything.

01:05:39.000 But then it continues on, like you have to sort of be active to be a part of it.

01:05:43.000 We have to make sure that these guys in Ohio, and the guys in California too, I guess, but it's California, so what can you expect from California?

01:05:50.000 But Ohio, safe red districts, they need to pay a very serious political price.

01:05:57.000 What they have done is one of the most infuriating things, one of the most egregious violations that I've seen in a long time.

01:06:08.000 I've seen a lot of stuff. 1.00

01:06:09.000 Adam Schiff, what a scumbag. 1.00

01:06:11.000 But these guys... 1.00

01:06:12.000 You know, there's a reason why the lowest level of hell is reserved for traitors and the disloyal. 1.00

01:06:18.000 Because Adam Schiff's a scumbag, but he tells you, you know... You know where he stands. 1.00

01:06:23.000 Right. 1.00

01:06:23.000 As long as you do your research, you watch the news, you know the man is evil and he's lying to you. 1.00

01:06:28.000 But these guys are supposed to represent the rule of law and the opportunity for us to vote in a new group of representatives who are going to actually uphold the law.

01:06:36.000 And like I said, You want to argue Bannon should be in prison?

01:06:39.000 Fine.

01:06:40.000 That means Merrick Garland should be as well.

01:06:42.000 But they do not uphold the rule of law.

01:06:45.000 So whatever that political price must be, I am sick of the political gamesmanship.

01:06:50.000 Whatever the argument is where, you know, you mentioned in the SAVE Act, these Democrats try to block the SAVE Act, but as soon as it hits the floor, they get permission to vote in favor of it.

01:06:59.000 So they can go back to their districts.

01:07:01.000 This must stop.

01:07:03.000 The lies, the manipulation.

01:07:05.000 So whatever the deal was, Johnson going to these guys and saying, just vote to block it, it'll die, and you're going to face no consequences?

01:07:13.000 You will face consequences.

01:07:15.000 We are going to make you pay a political price.

01:07:17.000 I am going to put up billboards in these districts, and I'm thinking maybe it just says, you know, they're corrupt.

01:07:23.000 That's it.

01:07:23.000 That's all it says.

01:07:24.000 They support corruption. 0.99

01:07:25.000 Corrupt individuals. 0.82

01:07:27.000 I'll see how much money I can sink into this.

01:07:29.000 And maybe other people will as well.

01:07:32.000 Maybe I make some phone calls and ask some people if they agree we should just put up and just call them corrupt!

01:07:36.000 They're not gonna lose their elections, but maybe the guy selling hot dogs on the street corner will tell them to F off and won't sell him a hot dog.

01:07:41.000 Or say that they don't want people to have IDs in order to vote.

01:07:44.000 In Ohio that will swing hard.

01:07:45.000 That wasn't the vote.

01:07:46.000 Oh.

01:07:46.000 This was not holding Garland in contempt for defying congressional authority.

01:07:50.000 Maybe they should just come on Culture War and explain themselves.

01:07:53.000 I mean, I think that's one of the interesting things about this platform is that you could talk to them directly about it in a way that a lot of people who are as frustrated as you are would want to hear.

01:08:00.000 They're not going to do that.

01:08:01.000 I mean, these guys don't even post on X. But we don't know until we ask.

01:08:05.000 What if they do?

01:08:06.000 A lot of people, I mean... They don't even post on X.

01:08:09.000 They're active on X, they just haven't really stated on this.

01:08:11.000 Not in months.

01:08:12.000 No.

01:08:12.000 I looked up their accounts.

01:08:13.000 They barely ever post.

01:08:15.000 Their rep accounts are active.

01:08:17.000 They're both promoting bills.

01:08:18.000 Right, where they have a staffer doing it for them.

01:08:20.000 Call a staffer.

01:08:21.000 Book them in.

01:08:21.000 Have them come sit in.

01:08:24.000 I mean, that's what's interesting, right?

01:08:25.000 Like, we are in a position where, and we being people who are on the internet, who are interested in the internet, they're able to sort of find information in ways that traditionally you had to just go through the press secretary.

01:08:36.000 You had to wait and to see if Fox News had them on.

01:08:38.000 And for a lot of congressmen, you know, I hate to say it, but they're just not high enough profile to necessarily get an automatic call from a major outlet.

01:08:47.000 This is a different era.

01:08:48.000 You have a lot of journalists that would take interviews with people about issues like this when maybe they wouldn't in the past.

01:08:54.000 I do think you got to take a look at how your representatives vote.

01:08:57.000 You have to actually do the hard work of digging through the congressional record, which is challenging.

01:09:01.000 I mean, even if you follow it every day, it's hard to find who voted on what.

01:09:04.000 The resolutions are a little more clear cut.

01:09:06.000 You've got to look at who's funding them.

01:09:07.000 That's another big thing, too.

01:09:08.000 It's publicly available, but you have to dig for it as well.

01:09:11.000 How their individual accounts, their individual re-election or election campaigns are funded, the PACs that support them, because that's going to tell you a lot about how they're going to vote or how they do vote.

01:09:21.000 I also think it says a lot when these people are very, very buttoned up and they only speak through press releases or they'll only go on Fox or CNN for a canned 30-second hit where they know automatically what the questions are going to be.

01:09:33.000 The people that won't do in-person town halls where they answer any question from anybody.

01:09:38.000 Like my opponent, when she does a town hall in the district, you have to submit the question to the staffer ahead of time.

01:09:43.000 It's pre-screened and she communicates through press releases.

01:09:46.000 And the candidates and the politicians who won't come on podcasts.

01:09:49.000 There's so many podcasts out there right now.

01:09:51.000 It doesn't even have to be a big one.

01:09:52.000 I try to not say no to a podcast because there's so much soundbiteness out there.

01:09:56.000 When you get a chance to actually explain things and just have discussions with people, I think if you're asking to represent The district, or even bigger than that, a state or the rest of the country, you should be open to long-form discussions to show people exactly who you are and how you think.

01:10:11.000 I think people are scared of long-form discussions.

01:10:13.000 They're like, don't think they can handle it.

01:10:15.000 I mean, you should talk about this because you've done so, you have really been active online, but I think it's not as intimidating a platform once you kind of get into it, unless I guess you're really trying to hide something.

01:10:24.000 If you're confident in what you believe in, then it's good.

01:10:29.000 I view it as a good thing.

01:10:31.000 A lot of political consultants will say, you should never go on a podcast right now.

01:10:34.000 And I'm sure a lot of political consultants in DC would point out like 10 things I've probably done wrong tonight.

01:10:40.000 But I think that's an old arcane way of thinking.

01:10:42.000 I think the younger voter base and then just the way that the country's consuming media now, they want to see that.

01:10:48.000 I think there's a reason why Tim's done so well, why Joe Rogan has done so well.

01:10:52.000 I think we're social creatures.

01:10:54.000 And I think people are really craving the interaction that you get from podcasts where you can actually get to know somebody and how they think and where they stand.

01:11:01.000 And so I think people who avoid those platforms, I feel like that silence is becoming more and more deafening.

01:11:06.000 Yeah.

01:11:07.000 It indicates that they're afraid in that either they have secrets and they don't want them to slip out or that they've done, and I guess they've done some horrible things and maybe those would be secrets that they want to keep.

01:11:18.000 When you're free and open, man, it's the easiest thing in the world is to sit and talk to people.

01:11:22.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:11:23.000 That's from my experience anyway.

01:11:24.000 And it's interesting because you could be selective about it too.

01:11:26.000 You could still want the Fox interview, the five minutes on whoever's show, but there are lots of local podcasts.

01:11:34.000 I'm sure in whatever state any politician is in, there is someone who has a local podcast that is specifically interested in the political happenings of their state.

01:11:44.000 And potentially your congressman coming on that podcast would really assist them and also give you access more directly to your constituents in a way that being on Fox News doesn't really.

01:11:56.000 There's sort of another step in between national TV and local TV now because you have these internet-based platforms that can be either national or local.

01:12:06.000 International.

01:12:07.000 It's global.

01:12:07.000 This technology.

01:12:09.000 Like you want to, if you're a musical artist, you put your stuff on the internet, the entire world sees it.

01:12:13.000 Like you're a politician, the entire world knows who you are now.

01:12:15.000 I get, I get a lot of young people now at my events that will come up and they've just got their phone and they're like, Hey, I have a podcast that has 50 followers or whatever.

01:12:22.000 And you know, well, I try not to say no because I appreciate the opportunity to reach people that I normally wouldn't reach otherwise.

01:12:28.000 And I think, I think it's awesome.

01:12:29.000 So I don't say no to most podcasts.

01:12:31.000 Let's jump to this story from the Postmillennial.

01:12:33.000 Pew poll finds young Americans are flocking to the Republican Party.

01:12:37.000 47% of respondents to the poll in Newsweek reports were either Republican or leaned in that direction.

01:12:42.000 And that's the important distinction here.

01:12:44.000 Leaned in that direction.

01:12:45.000 Because I assure you, Many of them probably don't know what party they are, but their politics align more so in this direction, which is why it's very important that we get rid of the rhinos and bring in people who actually will inspire these young people leaning in this direction so we can win. 0.94

01:13:00.000 And personality.

01:13:00.000 You got someone like Donald Trump, who, like, up against Barack Obama, he probably looks like a crass old man, but up against Joe Biden, he looks like a young, spry, hilarious comedian.

01:13:09.000 So, like, I want to play a video for you so you can understand why young people are flocking towards Donald Trump.

01:13:14.000 dude, they're going to lean towards Trump if Biden's the other option.

01:13:17.000 So the Democrats really have got to put their pedal to the metal and get a charismatic candidate

01:13:21.000 in front of the camera immediately or they're going to lose the entire youth base.

01:13:25.000 And so they don't have to do that, right?

01:13:27.000 Like, it's OK if they don't have a charismatic candidate and they use the like, let it go.

01:13:32.000 I want to play a video for you so you can understand why young people are flocking to

01:13:36.000 towards Donald Trump.

01:13:38.000 Please take a listen.

01:13:39.000 That's supposed to be a little bit Democrat territory.

01:13:42.000 But we're leading in Nevada, and a waitress came over. 0.97

01:13:45.000 Beautiful waitress, and I never like talking about physics.

01:13:47.000 She's beautiful inside.

01:13:49.000 Because you never talk about a person's look.

01:13:53.000 Ever.

01:13:53.000 You never mention it.

01:13:54.000 The other day, I got very angry.

01:13:55.000 Some man called Chris Christie fat. 0.51

01:14:00.000 And I said, sir. 1.00

01:14:02.000 And then he said he was a pig. 1.00

01:14:04.000 I said, sir, Chris Christie is not a fat pig. 0.99

01:14:07.000 Please remember that. 0.99

01:14:09.000 He is not a fat pig. 0.89

01:14:10.000 Please take it back. 0.86

01:14:11.000 And the guy's looking at me like, really?

01:14:13.000 No, we have to defend people.

01:14:15.000 You can't call people fat. 0.98

01:14:17.000 I said about nine times, he is not a fat pig. 0.95

01:14:20.000 That's supposed to be a little bit different. 0.95

01:14:23.000 I used to do that.

01:14:24.000 There, there, there's a, look, I'm sorry.

01:14:27.000 Some, like, young kid is watching that and he's laughing his ass off.

01:14:31.000 Yeah, we would do that joke.

01:14:32.000 It came out when we were, like, 16 or 17. 1.00

01:14:34.000 We figured out you could go, I'm not saying you are an idiot. 1.00

01:14:38.000 It's not what I'm saying is that you are a freaking idiot, dude. 1.00

01:14:40.000 I'm not saying that. 1.00

01:14:42.000 So he's kind of, it's an alteration of that joke.

01:14:44.000 Because we don't say physical.

01:14:46.000 Just beautiful on the inside.

01:14:47.000 Oh, come on. 1.00

01:14:48.000 He's a fat pig. 1.00

01:14:48.000 We've all heard the stories of Trump. 1.00

01:14:51.000 You know, and the rumors where it's like, you know, he hires these beautiful women for these jobs and like in his office, you know, or whatever.

01:14:57.000 And then, you know why he's doing it, right?

01:15:00.000 See, he's not saying that privately.

01:15:02.000 You know what he means when he says that. 0.99

01:15:04.000 And when he says, you can't call Chris Christie a fat pig. 0.99

01:15:06.000 He just wants to yell fat pig, Chris Christie, you know what I mean? 0.99

01:15:11.000 It's really funny. 0.95

01:15:11.000 I mean, I would actually love to see an Obama Trump face off because Obama has the charisma and sense that he's like, cool, I guess. 0.95

01:15:19.000 But Trump is very witty.

01:15:21.000 I mean, it is actually funny watching him kind of like go back and forth with someone.

01:15:25.000 So it would be a great face-off.

01:15:28.000 Not the same for Biden.

01:15:29.000 Biden doesn't have those skills.

01:15:31.000 There's nothing better than Trump off the teleprompter, I think.

01:15:33.000 Just Trump up there freestyling for an hour or so is pretty awesome.

01:15:37.000 Do you think charisma for young people versus older people is different?

01:15:42.000 And then also for Democrats and Republicans?

01:15:44.000 Like when you say someone is charismatic or charming, are you looking for different things?

01:15:48.000 I think there's definitely a different way that the two sides communicate.

01:15:53.000 I think that Trump has really tapped into something that—he's very funny.

01:15:56.000 He's very witty.

01:15:57.000 I mean, not everybody's going to be the personality that he is, but he's authentic.

01:16:02.000 You know where Trump stands.

01:16:04.000 You know what he's saying without him even saying it.

01:16:06.000 But I think that authenticity on the Republican side, and in particular with younger voters who feel like they've been betrayed by like the ruling class that's talking heads on TV like we were just talking about, I think they immediately bite on the authenticity.

01:16:19.000 I mean, somebody reading off a teleprompter in a suit to them, I think regardless of what you're saying, is going to be a major turnoff.

01:16:25.000 But if you're up there and you're just talking, you're presenting who you are, I think you're gonna be much more appealing to that younger demographic.

01:16:31.000 I do think the Democrats kind of communicate in a lot of just kind of grievances.

01:16:35.000 They're kind of guilting you into voting.

01:16:37.000 If you're not voting for them, you're a bad person.

01:16:39.000 You're not compassionate.

01:16:40.000 You might be racist.

01:16:41.000 There was this great CNN segment where Jake Tapper was just annihilating Joe Biden. 0.95

01:16:45.000 He's talking about the gaffes, and it was funny to have him actually state verbatim a Biden quote, because it's garbled nonsense.

01:16:51.000 And it was something like, you know, I not the... It was the issue that the work, I was my age, that not the issue.

01:17:01.000 And like, Tapper reads it like that.

01:17:02.000 I'd love to watch that clip.

01:17:04.000 Yeah, I'll pull it up.

01:17:05.000 It's funny, but Tapper's reading a prompter.

01:17:07.000 He's reading a teleprompter, and you can tell he's reading a prompter, and it's just like, this is the thing.

01:17:11.000 Young people can see that you are not a real human being saying things to them.

01:17:16.000 Yeah, they'd rather a guy says the wrong thing and then is like, oh, that was wrong.

01:17:19.000 Sorry, I said the wrong thing there.

01:17:21.000 And then continue on. 100%.

01:17:24.000 I think Tapper, maybe in that same segment, started referring to these elites in the Democratic Party that have had it with Biden, flat out, in your face, saying, there are elites now.

01:17:35.000 It's like in the Romes, they had the plebs, which were the common man, and then they had the, whatever, the autocrats or the authorities. 0.92

01:17:44.000 And now they're like, just telling you, yeah, there are people that are considered, they consider themselves elites, that they are better than you, and that they run the show and decide.

01:17:52.000 It's pretty stark that it's right in your face, but this word elite's been getting thrown around for like 20 or 30 years.

01:17:58.000 It's become normalized now, and it's like, bro, they're not elite.

01:18:02.000 Elite means that you're good at what you do.

01:18:04.000 It doesn't mean that you were born with money.

01:18:05.000 It doesn't mean that you have connections.

01:18:08.000 I think it can though, right?

01:18:09.000 It can refer to people who have access to things that you don't either because of financial resources or because of social power.

01:18:15.000 I mean the argument that someone is elite could be skill based or it could just actually be a way to reference them socially.

01:18:22.000 I think you're right that there is an interesting pivot from someone like Jon Stewart being like the elites as I sit on my national television show, right?

01:18:30.000 Like it's always someone else and it's always someone from the outside saying, you know, they're the elite. And I think that was the

01:18:36.000 interesting difference with Trump.

01:18:37.000 I think there was a level of him being like, yeah, of course I'm elite. I'm a billionaire.

01:18:42.000 But people are abusing the rest of you. And I think I'm going to say something. I know

01:18:45.000 Dave Chappelle has a bit on that where he's like, he came from inside the house, told

01:18:49.000 us what was going on, then went back into the house.

01:18:51.000 Exactly. Well, I think Trump also, there's definitely that honesty factor where he's

01:18:55.000 just like, yeah, you guys know who I am. 0.76

01:18:56.000 I'm a billionaire, but I'm telling you, the rest of these guys are screwing you over.

01:18:59.000 But I think Trump also hearkens back to our old elites who actually built this country.

01:19:04.000 Like you talked about the founding fathers, those guys in their time, they were the elites, they were the ruling class, but they felt that they had an obligation to the people of the country.

01:19:13.000 And they felt that their names were directly tied to the country.

01:19:16.000 I personally think that that's how Trump views this as well.

01:19:19.000 Because he could have just retired to his golf course, never come back, been a billionaire.

01:19:23.000 But he views his success as being deeply intertwined with America's success.

01:19:28.000 And that's the way our old elites, our old ruling class really used to view their duty to the country.

01:19:34.000 And that went way off the rails, probably since the end of World War Two, or maybe even the establishment of the Federal Reserve, like you talked about.

01:19:40.000 And our elite started basically just, you know, really only looking out for themselves,

01:19:45.000 looting the coffers, abusing their power. And Trump's one of the first guys who came from the

01:19:49.000 inside and said, hey, this is wrong and we've got to stop it. And I'll be the instrument to stop it.

01:19:53.000 It was like the people that are elite are not actually elite. A lot of them are not like Ben

01:19:58.000 Franklin was an elite human being, regardless of his social status.

01:20:01.000 He discovered electricity.

01:20:03.000 George Washington or let's just go with Thomas.

01:20:06.000 I don't know actually a lot about George Washington's personal life, but Thomas Jefferson could play music.

01:20:10.000 He was a writer.

01:20:10.000 George Washington married to Martha.

01:20:13.000 Want to go back to what Mount Vernon?

01:20:14.000 Is that him?

01:20:15.000 Wouldn't he?

01:20:15.000 Yep.

01:20:16.000 He was like 6'6 and this brilliant charismatic warrior.

01:20:19.000 So he was like an elite commander.

01:20:20.000 Someone with leadership skills and he was working from a really young age surveying a lot of the country.

01:20:25.000 I mean, he's an interesting person.

01:20:26.000 So like the people in the elite positions were actually elite humans.

01:20:29.000 But now we've got people in elite positions like Joe Biden.

01:20:32.000 That guy has elevated himself to that level. 0.79

01:20:37.000 It's because Democrats won't outright vote for a black man. 0.74

01:20:49.000 I'm not exaggerating.

01:20:50.000 The political strategy, which was widely acknowledged at the time, was that Barack Obama as a black man needed an old white man to convince a lot of the older Democrats to vote Democrat.

01:20:59.000 Joe Biden was like, you won't believe how old I am.

01:21:00.000 I can do this.

01:21:01.000 That's right.

01:21:02.000 I'm old.

01:21:02.000 I'm white.

01:21:03.000 I'm here. 0.74

01:21:03.000 They said Barack will do better with eschewing younger, but older Democrats won't vote for a black man. 0.74

01:21:09.000 So you need Joe Biden to be that face of the, you know, traditional America, white, old president.

01:21:15.000 They do that with Kamala Harris.

01:21:17.000 It's a similar strategy.

01:21:18.000 Joe Biden is what they're pitching towards Democrats.

01:21:21.000 And then they're hoping the progressive younger people will go for, you know, I think you see this with the Republicans, too.

01:21:26.000 And they were like, Trump must have a female VP.

01:21:29.000 It's like, no, he does not need a female VP.

01:21:31.000 I mean, if there's a lady VP who's good and some for some. 1.00

01:21:35.000 Actual, tangible reason other than the fact that she has a uterus, then fine, but there is this identity politics that comes into it. 0.95

01:21:42.000 They're like, to balance out the rest of the ticket, we have to cover up for whatever fault you have.

01:21:48.000 If you're Joe Biden and you're old and white, then we need someone who is female and diverse and maybe younger, although she's not that much younger.

01:21:54.000 To trick people into voting?

01:21:58.000 Elite people in power, people that were of elite minds.

01:22:01.000 I think that would send shockwaves of fear through the imperial strategists that are trying to control the country through bureaucracy that with this federal spy club that they've got going.

01:22:09.000 Have you ever, do you know what Myers-Briggs personality tests are?

01:22:13.000 You know, they have the letters, the INTJ or whatever.

01:22:15.000 I can't remember what it was, but I'll look it up.

01:22:17.000 There's a study done that there's a certain personality type that congregates in DC and it's the same personality type that – it's very uncommon and it's what Hillary Clinton is.

01:22:27.000 I think it's INTJ.

01:22:28.000 I'll double check in a second.

01:22:29.000 Ooh, let's find out.

01:22:30.000 But like whether it's elite in terms of like skill or IQ or something like that, you know, maybe.

01:22:34.000 But also I think some of those people wouldn't want to go into politics.

01:22:38.000 They would be like, I've got something better to do.

01:22:41.000 I mean, like, Elon Musk is making no plans to run for governor of California, as far as I can tell.

01:22:45.000 And he's, you know, I would consider him a pretty elite person in terms of skill.

01:22:50.000 Yeah, he is elite.

01:22:51.000 But your hands get bound when you get into the political system.

01:22:54.000 I mean, look at Trump.

01:22:55.000 God, look what happened to that guy.

01:22:57.000 Dragged through the coals.

01:23:00.000 Um, who I was thinking of, Schwarzenegger, who, an elite human being across the board.

01:23:04.000 I don't know about his, obviously he's a brilliant, smart guy, but he's super, super famous.

01:23:08.000 A brilliant, smart guy. 0.99

01:23:09.000 Just like a brilliant dumb guy. 0.96

01:23:09.000 A brilliant, smart guy. 0.96

01:23:10.000 Well, I was just assuming he was smart because he was governor, but that doesn't, you don't have to be smart to be governor.

01:23:14.000 So maybe he's of average intellect.

01:23:15.000 I really don't know much about Arnold's smarts.

01:23:17.000 He's never like wowed me with his math theorems or anything, but very charismatic, hardworking, devoted, elite man.

01:23:24.000 I want to play this clip.

01:23:25.000 CNN's Jake Tapper taking down Joe Biden.

01:23:29.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to love this one.

01:23:31.000 In reality, 72% of voters.

01:23:35.000 I want to pause real quick.

01:23:36.000 Did you notice he's reading a prompter?

01:23:37.000 When he makes those weird pauses, it's because the prompter isn't moving fast enough.

01:23:41.000 this for quite a long time. The reality is that the Democratic elites are mostly late

01:23:47.000 to acknowledge these age and ability issues.

01:23:50.000 I want to pause real quick. Did you notice he's reading a prompter? When he makes those

01:23:54.000 weird pauses, it's because the prompter isn't moving fast enough. So you'll see this a lot

01:23:58.000 with cable presenters when they do weird things like exaggerating the way they're talking

01:24:05.000 for no reason. But now I'll play the rest.

01:24:07.000 I've not had many of those nights.

01:24:12.000 It was a terrible night, and I really regret it happened.

01:24:23.000 But the fact of the matter is, how can you assure you're gonna be on, you know, faith that I can intervene on your way to go to, you know, work tomorrow?

01:24:32.000 Age, age wasn't, you know, The idea is I'm too old.

01:24:39.000 The fact of the matter is, how can you assure you're going to be out on, you know, on your way to go, you know, work tomorrow, age, age wasn't, you know, the idea that I'm too old.

01:24:48.000 Keep in mind, that soundbite is supposed to be reassuring to those Democratic supporters who have gone wobbly.

01:24:55.000 Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?

01:24:58.000 I don't think I did, no.

01:25:02.000 He doesn't think he did.

01:25:03.000 He called into a couple of black radio stations where he said, among other things, this.

01:25:11.000 By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, served with a black president.

01:25:20.000 I'm proud to be the first black woman in the Supreme Court.

01:25:23.000 There's just so much that we can do because together we, there's nothing, look, this is the United States of America.

01:25:31.000 He's proud to be the first black woman?

01:25:34.000 That's not coherent.

01:25:36.000 And even then, we later found out, later from the radio host, that the Biden campaign had given her a list of questions to ask President Biden.

01:25:45.000 That is a huge no-no in journalism, and the host was fired for it, but it remains quite telling that in the Biden campaign's efforts to show that the president has not missed a step, his campaign felt the need to feed questions to the hosts for a call-in radio interview.

01:26:01.000 And the president still, even then, failed to deliver in many of his answers.

01:26:05.000 Now, many elected Democrats are expressing concern about this answer, too, although it was quite coherent.

01:26:11.000 George Stephanopoulos asking him how he would feel if he ultimately loses to Donald Trump, which polls have suggested he will.

01:26:21.000 I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that's what this is about.

01:26:29.000 As long as he gave it his all and did the goodest job he could do.

01:26:33.000 That's what it's all about.

01:26:35.000 Is it?

01:26:36.000 Apparently it is.

01:26:38.000 When CNN runs through segments that are old.

01:26:42.000 Okay, so like, wasn't the first black woman comment from before, was it from before the debate? 0.87

01:26:47.000 No, it was after.

01:26:47.000 It was after the debate.

01:26:48.000 This was part of his recovery.

01:26:50.000 Amazingly enough.

01:26:50.000 Okay.

01:26:51.000 Where is Jake Tapper to go through, I don't know, like, all of the cheap fakes they accused us of posting?

01:26:57.000 All these videos?

01:26:58.000 It's only now that CNN is hopping on board with this?

01:27:01.000 I'll take it, I guess, but still.

01:27:02.000 I mean, Jake Tapper's, like, fake outrage that he has there, it's like, hey man, where was the outrage when 13 American soldiers got killed during the Afghan withdrawal, when three more got killed defending the border of Iraq, Syria, and Jordan under this commander-in-chief?

01:27:15.000 When we decided that we were going to get us into essentially World War III with this disastrous policy in Ukraine. 0.97

01:27:20.000 I mean, the things that a commander-in-chief should be held accountable for, it's like crickets, but then all of a sudden he has a bad debate and he stutters through some things and says some goofy stuff.

01:27:28.000 Now the Democrats are super outraged and now Jake Tapper is really ready to hold him accountable. 0.96

01:27:32.000 It's all just so fake, it's disgusting.

01:27:34.000 Was Tapper even outraged when Joe Biden said, no, American soldiers have died on my watch? 0.74

01:27:34.000 Right. 0.74

01:27:38.000 Exactly.

01:27:38.000 That was even closer.

01:27:40.000 The other fascinating thing to me here is that Biden can't get any questions that were teed up to him correctly.

01:27:49.000 And it's gotten so bad that George Stephanopoulos, who did the post-debate interview, I don't know if you guys saw this, but TMZ had this article, someone stopped him on the street and was like, do you think Biden should run again?

01:27:58.000 And George Stephanopoulos was like, no.

01:28:00.000 And then later had to be like, oh, I shouldn't have talked about it publicly.

01:28:03.000 But you just sat down with this guy and you said that he can't do this.

01:28:07.000 I mean, it's all falling apart.

01:28:09.000 But It's not new information.

01:28:11.000 I mean, the debate was bad, but it was already evidence that was out there.

01:28:17.000 I mean, I know some people will argue Joe Biden's gotten really bad in the last six months, but he was always seeming to have some kind of cognitive, verbal issue.

01:28:26.000 I mean, the gaffes were run-of-the-mill.

01:28:28.000 It would happen all the time.

01:28:30.000 A lifelong stutter.

01:28:31.000 A lifelong stutter.

01:28:32.000 I'm so sorry I criticized that.

01:28:33.000 How could I?

01:28:34.000 You know, with the Afghanistan surrender and the lack of outrage, the route that commenced as a result of that rapid surrender and attempted pullout, had it been like 700 American soldiers got killed, would there be outrage?

01:28:49.000 There was outrage that 13 did.

01:28:52.000 Some outrage, but not really outrage.

01:28:54.000 There was some mumbling and grumbling, and like, where is... Well, Democrats don't care.

01:28:58.000 What if there was 6,000 men slaughtered, American men, taken hostage?

01:29:02.000 What if there were beheadings, American soldiers beheaded on camera?

01:29:04.000 Then would there be outrage?

01:29:05.000 Like, what does it take?

01:29:06.000 How much death does it take to get people to wake up?

01:29:08.000 The issue, Ian, is that if that were to happen, the progressive left would be celebrating in the streets.

01:29:13.000 And the Democrats would have to contend with, do we put out a message that will cost us those votes?

01:29:18.000 I am not exaggerating.

01:29:19.000 When Hamas launched the attack on October 7th, we saw protesters in Times Square celebrating, and Democrats didn't know which direction to go with it.

01:29:28.000 Do we do we sacrifice the little youth vote we have or how old they didn't they didn't know because they're trying not to alienate voters.

01:29:35.000 And I mean up to that point we had lost nearly 3,000 Americans in Afghanistan.

01:29:40.000 We lost another 5,000 in Iraq and people barely bat an eye because you had regime media like CNN who benefits heavily from the established order in the ruling class in Washington D.C.

01:29:52.000 Running cover for the entire nonsense up until Trump comes into office and Trump says, I want to end these wars.

01:29:58.000 The next thing you know, Trump is colluding with the Russians who are putting bounties on the heads of American soldiers completely made up. 0.72

01:30:03.000 They made the entire thing up and admitted it later on.

01:30:06.000 But that's the way these people like CNN.

01:30:08.000 We'll run cover for the worst abuses of the U.S.

01:30:12.000 government, especially with Democrats in control or establishment Republicans, the military industrial complex, basically just the establishment in Washington, D.C.

01:30:21.000 These guys are completely disingenuous.

01:30:23.000 Luckily, I think CNN is dying because they've just been lying for so long.

01:30:26.000 And the same thing with most mainstream media.

01:30:28.000 Well, I mean, that was clear that was trying to bring it back.

01:30:31.000 That was another big story that we didn't have enough time to get into, but we'll round off this segment with.

01:30:35.000 CNN's laying tons of people off.

01:30:38.000 Their ratings are in the gutter.

01:30:40.000 Real shame.

01:30:41.000 Yeah.

01:30:42.000 They chose this. 0.98

01:30:44.000 Zucker came in and said, let's take the CNN brand of news and turn it into reality TV garbage that hates Donald Trump and alienate half the country. 0.98

01:30:44.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:30:53.000 His pitch was basically, we're losing ratings anyway, let's isolate a market and capture it.

01:30:58.000 And they went for resistance, far-left lunatics, and now they have one of the highest demographics in terms of their average viewer, and nobody wants to watch.

01:31:06.000 Because they're not a news network anymore.

01:31:09.000 Do you think their ratings would have been better if Trump had served a second term, like gotten into the White House in 2020?

01:31:16.000 Because in some ways it would give them more to be mad about.

01:31:18.000 I mean, that's almost one of the things that I wonder about.

01:31:22.000 They have lost ratings under Biden.

01:31:24.000 I mean, their ratings were way up under Trump.

01:31:24.000 That's true.

01:31:27.000 But the issue is that we're at a point now where young people are moving towards Trump for a variety of reasons.

01:31:33.000 The economy is bad.

01:31:34.000 Biden screwed things up and now people are sick of it.

01:31:36.000 So while they certainly could retain if Trump was president, They blame him for everything.

01:31:42.000 And so they maintain that audience. 0.95

01:31:43.000 Now, now they're screwed. 0.91

01:31:45.000 Because Biden got in. 0.97

01:31:46.000 That's what they begged for.

01:31:48.000 Burned everything down.

01:31:49.000 Inflation is through the roof.

01:31:51.000 Costs are through the roof.

01:31:53.000 And this is the anti-Trump network.

01:31:56.000 Who's now going to tune in and be like, let me hear it.

01:31:58.000 There's no Trump anymore.

01:31:59.000 And the people who are watching because they hated Trump left.

01:32:01.000 And now they're going to try and come back and be like, but Biden's bad.

01:32:04.000 And people are going to be like, I don't watch this.

01:32:06.000 And they got caught lying so many times.

01:32:08.000 I mean, COVID, they just got caught lying through their teeth and they haven't even made amends for it.

01:32:12.000 The Joe Rogan.

01:32:13.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:14.000 Where he looked sickly.

01:32:16.000 They desaturated, whatever.

01:32:17.000 I don't know what they did, but they were accused of, like, making him look green.

01:32:20.000 He doctored the photo for sure.

01:32:22.000 Ivermectin or whatever.

01:32:22.000 There's a video of him saying that he was getting prescribed this and they made him look sickly.

01:32:27.000 And then when he had on, what did he have, like Farid Zakaria?

01:32:30.000 And he called him out and he's like, oh, yeah.

01:32:33.000 So CNN doesn't deserve to ever come back.

01:32:36.000 I think using the word rating, it's kind of, um, it's a, it's a, it's a sign up because when you give something, when you rate something, you're like, Oh, how good is that?

01:32:44.000 I'd give that a 10 out of 10.

01:32:45.000 It's awesome.

01:32:46.000 Not about how many people see the thing.

01:32:49.000 There could be a hundred million people watch the show and all give it a one out of 10 because it's, they rate it a terrible, terrible, hate watching CNN.

01:32:56.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:57.000 They have high ratings because a lot of people watch, but they're actually rated very poorly because the people can't stand watching it and they're afraid.

01:33:04.000 They don't come out of it with a good feeling.

01:33:06.000 The challenge is that CNN may die, but MSNBC lives on, right?

01:33:11.000 I mean, there are more mainstream progressive or left-leaning news outlets than there are conservative or, you know, God forbid we just have a centrist news platform that just gives information of the same size that bring in the same revenue and stuff like that.

01:33:29.000 I do think ultimately there can never be an exact competition because the internet has become so prevalent and the alternative – I mean I don't want to say alternative.

01:33:38.000 Like podcasting is such a normal thing or having a YouTube-based show or having Rumble or whatever else.

01:33:43.000 Like these alternative ways of getting news out there are making it so that CNN, MSNBC, Fox News all have to compete with that.

01:33:50.000 They all have started cultivating YouTube channels and putting out clips so that they can get the viewership that's never going to be on the TV.

01:33:56.000 They don't even have cable subscriptions.

01:33:58.000 CNN, eight years ago, should have started shows like this.

01:34:03.000 Yeah.

01:34:04.000 And they should have said, we put the money in and we see where it goes.

01:34:06.000 I actually think, sorry, go ahead.

01:34:08.000 Oh, it's this Mockingbird media out things where the CIA started this Operation Mockingbird where they wanted to manipulate the public through mass media, Vietnam.

01:34:17.000 There was a lot of outrage during Vietnam with the caskets coming back, the American bodies.

01:34:21.000 It was like, enough!

01:34:22.000 We embedded journalists.

01:34:23.000 We saw how horrible it was and we stopped it.

01:34:26.000 as a society and they're like we can't let that happen again whoever this this uh imperial

01:34:30.000 strategist the imperial um five eyes spy club controls the mockingbird media they're like we

01:34:35.000 got to take control of this media and now what's happening is the media is competing with its own

01:34:39.000 suffering you can't it's not that like rogan's so good let's be like that

01:34:43.000 It's like, we are just—now it has become apparent how awful we are as a structure, and holes are appearing within their system, and you're just spurting out the lifeblood of what they needed.

01:34:55.000 Well, let me try and simplify this.

01:34:58.000 The people who used to run the Deep State had kids.

01:35:01.000 Those kids didn't start the Deep State, the liberal economic order, but they did see their parents maintain it.

01:35:06.000 So they kind of understood how to maintain it.

01:35:08.000 Then they had kids, and those kids saw their parents maintaining a thing but never building it, and they don't exactly know the intricacies.

01:35:14.000 So we're in the third generation of the liberal economic order, and holes have begun to appear, and like the cartoon where the guy's trying to plug the holes in the ship, they don't know how to make it stop collapsing.

01:35:25.000 Exactly.

01:35:25.000 So the liberal economic order is crumbling.

01:35:27.000 They call it the apocalypse, at least in the Bible, this great awakening, this unveiling.

01:35:31.000 It means revelation.

01:35:32.000 It means to take away the blinder or something.

01:35:34.000 I think apo means to take away, and calypso is like a veil, means the veil, so to remove the veil.

01:35:41.000 Yeah, DMT, talk about seeing through the veil and stuff.

01:35:44.000 We're gonna go to super chats, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:35:48.000 One like equals one hashtag free Bannon.

01:35:52.000 I am really pissed off at the Garland thing because Bannon's in prison right now and he shouldn't be.

01:35:55.000 Or at the very least, Garland should be.

01:36:10.000 I'm going to reach out to my agent and my lawyer to take a look at what kind of billboards we can run in these districts and I thought about it and I'm thinking something like Mike Turner does not support law enforcement.

01:36:25.000 I think that would be a good one.

01:36:26.000 Maybe for both of them, because they will not support the enforcement of the law and, you know, how they tried to uphold it, equality under the law.

01:36:34.000 Let him deal with it.

01:36:35.000 I don't know what it means or what it'll do, but it'll sure feel good to say, right?

01:36:44.000 CT Hampi says, I live in a small town near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

01:36:48.000 My dad and kids in town are raising donations to update our town's small skate park for the first time in 20 years.

01:36:54.000 Go fund me, Hartford Skate Park Expansion.

01:36:56.000 Best of luck, sir.

01:36:58.000 We've got some news here on our front.

01:37:01.000 I talked with the city of Martinsburg about the Skatepark Expansion Project, and they have not yet secured land, but should they, and they're going to begin fundraising, we have already made our pledge to them, six figures, to help support this skatepark expansion in the area.

01:37:16.000 I told the guy at the city, we want to make a world-class facility that attracts people from all over the place to come and hang out here, if you guys are okay with that, and he said, absolutely.

01:37:24.000 So that's exciting news, and we're going to talk to some big industry partners, see if we can make a big park out here as well.

01:37:29.000 But best of luck to you guys.

01:37:31.000 CT Hampy.

01:37:33.000 Alright, TokenBlackEye says, Howdy people!

01:37:35.000 If Binden stepped down, wouldn't there be an issue giving away the direct donations he received?

01:37:42.000 I believe the PAC donations could be used for any candidate, but I don't think the direct donations work the same.

01:37:46.000 You are correct.

01:37:48.000 Is that your understanding?

01:37:49.000 That's my understanding, too.

01:37:50.000 I think he could give them to another candidate.

01:37:53.000 I think they can only stay with the Biden-Harris ticket.

01:37:56.000 What I heard is that Harris could not take it.

01:37:59.000 Really?

01:38:00.000 Yeah.

01:38:01.000 It might depend on some of the classifications of the donations, too.

01:38:06.000 But the money stopped.

01:38:07.000 You see that?

01:38:08.000 There was a report where it said the money has stopped flowing.

01:38:11.000 I have gotten so many ads from Joe Biden asking me to give him money and I really think that he should, at least for me, save your money.

01:38:18.000 I don't think it's going to happen.

01:38:19.000 I'll donate.

01:38:20.000 Yeah.

01:38:21.000 Well, we are riding with Biden.

01:38:22.000 I forgot that.

01:38:24.000 Never mind.

01:38:25.000 We don't want to leave.

01:38:26.000 Look, our most authentic president who's just being himself no matter who's looking at him.

01:38:31.000 You can't be a primary election denier.

01:38:33.000 That's right.

01:38:34.000 Hunter's Lab says, I've heard from a detective in Illinois that said every state copier has to report for duty in Chicago during the DNC.

01:38:41.000 They think there will be massive riots and they may try to burn the city.

01:38:44.000 Yes.

01:38:45.000 That's why we are going to the RNC and we will not be at the DNC.

01:38:50.000 I was going to say, we're going to Milwaukee.

01:38:51.000 I'm not worried about that cheese and, you know, whatever else.

01:38:54.000 And there was that protest that, like, sued to be able to, like, be inside the safety zone and they got struck down.

01:38:59.000 They're not going to be able to do that.

01:39:00.000 I mean, I think the RNC is going to be very boring in comparison to the DNC.

01:39:05.000 Not that it won't be a great time.

01:39:06.000 Yeah, big Trump rally.

01:39:07.000 The other side's going to be chaos.

01:39:08.000 Yeah.

01:39:10.000 In 2016, at the conventions, we all thought the RNC was going to be a massive protest.

01:39:15.000 And it wasn't.

01:39:17.000 With Trump, we were like, it's going to get crazy.

01:39:19.000 And then it didn't.

01:39:20.000 I think it was, where was that?

01:39:20.000 Was that in Cleveland?

01:39:22.000 Ohio for 2016.

01:39:23.000 Yeah.

01:39:24.000 Where was the DNC?

01:39:25.000 Charlotte? 0.94

01:39:26.000 Because the DNC was nuts.

01:39:28.000 Thousands of people were trying to tear down the barricades.

01:39:31.000 They jumped over the walls and started running full speed to the convention.

01:39:34.000 I was like, wow.

01:39:35.000 Because they nuked Bernie Sanders.

01:39:36.000 Yeah.

01:39:37.000 Is this year the DNC expected to be Biden, Harris?

01:39:41.000 Are they going to go?

01:39:42.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

01:39:43.000 And then other candidates that want to... It's going to be spicy. 0.69

01:39:46.000 Yeah.

01:39:46.000 Cleveland, Ohio for the RNC in 2016.

01:39:48.000 I'll look for the Democrat now.

01:39:50.000 I think it was Charlotte.

01:39:52.000 I think so too, but... I was finding that Zach Braff.

01:39:55.000 What about Zach?

01:39:56.000 I love him.

01:39:57.000 Scrubs?

01:39:57.000 Oh man, Scrubs is one of my favorite shows.

01:39:59.000 Pennsylvania.

01:40:00.000 Philadelphia.

01:40:00.000 It was in Philadelphia?

01:40:02.000 From July 25th, July 28th, and 2016.

01:40:03.000 Really?

01:40:03.000 That's what the internet's telling me.

01:40:06.000 Well, anything's gonna be crazy in Philly.

01:40:07.000 What year am I thinking about?

01:40:09.000 Maybe I was in Cle- No, wait, wait.

01:40:11.000 Am I thinking of 2012, maybe?

01:40:12.000 I'll look.

01:40:14.000 Might be 2012.

01:40:14.000 Yeah, it was Philadelphia, wasn't it?

01:40:17.000 Mm-hmm.

01:40:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:40:18.000 Yes, you are thinking of 2012.

01:40:19.000 Did you go to the 2012?

01:40:19.000 It was Charlotte 2012?

01:40:20.000 Ah, you see?

01:40:21.000 Did you do that one?

01:40:22.000 Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.

01:40:23.000 And then 2020 was- That's where I met Zach Braff, it was 2012.

01:40:25.000 And then DNC in 2020 was virtual, which was also hilarious.

01:40:30.000 By Met, I saw him walking down the street and I was like, Zach, can I get a picture?

01:40:32.000 And he was like, sure!

01:40:33.000 And we took a picture and then I shook his hand.

01:40:34.000 So great, man.

01:40:35.000 Scrubs is amazing.

01:40:36.000 One of the best shows ever.

01:40:36.000 Such a good show.

01:40:37.000 Groundbreaking.

01:40:38.000 John C. Reilly.

01:40:39.000 Wait, no, no.

01:40:39.000 John McGinley.

01:40:41.000 John C. McGinley.

01:40:42.000 Are you a Scrubs fan?

01:40:45.000 No.

01:40:45.000 John McGinley.

01:40:46.000 Great show.

01:40:47.000 It's a good show, yes.

01:40:48.000 They wove music in.

01:40:49.000 Late 90s, early 2000s.

01:40:51.000 Donald Faison was in it.

01:40:52.000 When you're not campaigning or raising your children.

01:40:54.000 And of course, you all know that I'm a huge fan of Men at Work, so the episode where Colin Haye was playing overkill on the street playing the guitar, and then periodically the song would kick back up.

01:41:04.000 And I love the scene where he's hiding in the closet, and he just looks at Colin Haye and he's like, just keep it down.

01:41:11.000 And that's when he hits the high point of overkill and he starts belting.

01:41:14.000 It's a good show.

01:41:15.000 Yeah, it's a great song.

01:41:17.000 Alright, Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr.

01:41:19.000 says, Tim, you've been on one today with your videos.

01:41:21.000 I second the calling out of terrible evil and useless people no matter what side they claim to fight for. 0.90

01:41:27.000 So this is basically like, you know, I could grab a spicy headline and do a segment monologuing about the news and Joe Biden, this, that or otherwise, but the Krasensteins, they're evil people. 0.99

01:41:38.000 And I did a 25 minute long breakdown of how I define evil, why I think they are evil, what I think evil is.

01:41:46.000 The simple version is that There is entropy and there's negative entropy in the world.

01:41:51.000 Life seems to try to organize things into complex systems, and the destruction of that is anti-life.

01:41:57.000 It opposes the function of life.

01:42:00.000 So for people whose end goal is self-empowerment to the destruction, which would result in more entropy in the destruction of civilization and complex systems, that to me is what evil is.

01:42:11.000 And it can be simplified by The Krasensteins intentionally lie to people, pull things out of context, and misrepresent things to trick people into doing things that hurt them.

01:42:20.000 They've been accused in the past of harming innocent people, they were raided by the Feds a long time ago, and they were never accused of any crimes or anything.

01:42:28.000 But these are guys who go on X, and they're just one example, because he tweeted something like, Trump's a convicted felon, and how could we have come to this point?

01:42:35.000 Challenging a man to a golf game, blah blah blah. 0.98

01:42:37.000 And I said, you're evil.

01:42:39.000 Because there's a few things in there that are important pieces of context. 0.60

01:42:42.000 One, Biden challenged Trump to a golf game first, a little while ago, then at the debate.

01:42:45.000 Then Trump countered with, okay, I'll challenge you to a golf game for a million bucks.

01:42:49.000 And then the Krasensteins are like, oh, how dare you, Trump?

01:42:52.000 Wait, Biden did it first.

01:42:53.000 But that's omitted from these people to trick those who are low information or ignorant or not smart enough to fend for themselves, so that their resources can be extracted from them, and it causes them harm in the long run. 0.54

01:43:04.000 If society functions in that way over a long period of time, it will break down and it will die.

01:43:08.000 That is anti-life.

01:43:09.000 It defies what life does.

01:43:11.000 So I believe that properly informing people and giving them information so they can live a functional, better life, a rising tide lifts all ships and then humans can expand.

01:43:19.000 So he's an evil guy.

01:43:21.000 And I pulled up a post where...

01:43:23.000 He explicitly stated his intention was to play this social engineering manipulation tactic, where you state something as an aside so that it becomes an afterthought, not part of the actual argument, so that no argument can be made.

01:43:39.000 So you see this in the media all the time where they say, Donald Trump, comma, a convicted felon, comma, was recently seen buying tickets to a movie theater.

01:43:46.000 And you're like, ooh, the convicted felon thing has nothing to do with the story.

01:43:49.000 There's no argument, no context, no information.

01:43:52.000 But they put these things in stories as a way to make sure the idea sticks outside of that argument.

01:43:59.000 Another way to explain it is, if you go to someone and say, did you know Trump is a felon who did a bad thing?

01:44:04.000 They'll ask you, explain yourself.

01:44:06.000 What do you mean by that?

01:44:08.000 But if you say, did you know Donald Trump was going to the store to buy a candy bar?

01:44:12.000 And when he went there, someone yelled, you're a convicted felon, and we know he is, but the candy bar was actually $3.

01:44:17.000 Can you believe it was $3?

01:44:18.000 There's no conversation about him being a convicted felon.

01:44:21.000 This is what he's doing.

01:44:21.000 You're angry.

01:44:23.000 This is what these Democrat pundits do.

01:44:25.000 They omit the context of all of these claims and all of these charges.

01:44:28.000 Harry Sisson does it. 0.86

01:44:29.000 They are evil people.

01:44:31.000 If they were to run cleanly through the political system, you'd have Soviet stock collapse in 10 years.

01:44:37.000 The Republican Party being as effective as it is, I think we're much closer to that now than ever.

01:44:42.000 There's a reason why the Soviet Union only lasted 69 years. 0.92

01:44:44.000 There's a reason why Rome lasted, what, like a couple thousand?

01:44:48.000 What was Rome?

01:44:48.000 A thousand something years?

01:44:49.000 About a thousand years.

01:44:50.000 A thousand years.

01:44:51.000 And then eventually it began to decay, but it was strong early on, the Roman Republic at least, and then it turns into the Empire.

01:44:57.000 The United States has been around for several hundred years, and there's a reason for it.

01:45:01.000 Decentralized meritocratic systems with a light nucleus, over time power coalesces, and then eventually you get crackpots who try to extract power and burn the ship down.

01:45:10.000 You look at the end history of Rome, and that's what happens.

01:45:14.000 People begin to just extract for themselves.

01:45:18.000 My take on Ed and Brian Krasenstein is that I think people are like pallets, and that they can do evil and good, and that if that cycle of evil is replicated, if a human continues it over and over, you might say that person is evil, even though what's more accurate is that person commits evil and has done it 78% of the time, and if the evil acts perpetuate, then we're in dire straits. But those

01:45:41.000 people can be turned and do good also.

01:45:43.000 So I try not to alienate people by putting them in boxes of perception.

01:45:48.000 Yeah, but after all this time, you know what I mean? So the point I'm making is when these guys

01:45:55.000 post, Donald Trump is a convicted felon, and I can't believe anyone would consider voting for

01:45:59.000 a convicted felon. 0.96

01:46:01.000 How dare he challenge Biden to a golf game?

01:46:03.000 There's so much information missing from that, that a person would need to be informed upon to actually improve their lives, and they're doing it intentionally.

01:46:11.000 He tweeted he was intentionally doing it.

01:46:15.000 Like, a manipulation tactic to just push people.

01:46:18.000 He said, we're going to keep doing this and hammering it over and over again, knowing that the context is completely different.

01:46:25.000 That Trump never faced due process for any secondary crimes.

01:46:28.000 He knows all of this. 0.99

01:46:29.000 Because he's evil. 1.00

01:46:29.000 He's an evil guy. 1.00

01:46:31.000 In 2018, the Feds raided their home and seized half a million dollars in cash because their website was running ads pushing people to Ponzi schemes and downloading viruses, according to the Feds, that resulted in their bank accounts being drained.

01:46:44.000 Now, I could play this game too, and I could say, Brian and Ed Krasenstein, the guys who were raided by the feds for fraud and for scamming people and destroying their lives and hurting innocent people, accused Donald Trump of impropriety by challenging Biden to a golf game.

01:46:59.000 But does that really provide you with enough context as to who these guys are and what really happened?

01:47:02.000 They were never charged with crimes.

01:47:03.000 They were never arrested.

01:47:05.000 That's important context I think people should know.

01:47:07.000 The Feds made the accusation, but there was never any due process.

01:47:09.000 But how about it?

01:47:10.000 How about we play that game, and in every instance I say this, tit for tat, is that the game you want to play, Krasensteins?

01:47:15.000 In any instance you want to play this game, as you've stated you will, I will always preface with, you were raided by the Feds because you hurt innocent people.

01:47:22.000 Their lives were destroyed, their money was stolen, and it's your fault.

01:47:26.000 You know, my question is, can you use that manipulation tactic where you're seeding the premise into the question or into the statement where it's inarguable for good?

01:47:35.000 Can you do that for good?

01:47:36.000 Because I think it's just a solid manipulation tactic.

01:47:39.000 I think you can do it for good.

01:47:41.000 If people are in crazy evil state and you put good things in as a supposition that are unquestionable, The ends do not justify the means because you never meet the ends.

01:47:50.000 If you decide that lying and manipulating and controlling people is the path towards your dream vision of what society should be, then you are the evil people.

01:47:58.000 But if you just let the evil go by without trying to manipulate it into good...

01:48:03.000 I believe that there needs to be some kind of light central nucleus that acts as some kind of restrictive force, but for the most part you want a widely decentralized meritocratic system.

01:48:12.000 So you look at the United States, a largely decentralized meritocratic system for a long period of time, but power does coalesce over a long period of time.

01:48:21.000 You get the centralization of federal authorities and it leads to a point where the machine just breaks.

01:48:26.000 So there's a reason why the United States lasted longer than the Soviet Union. 0.86

01:48:29.000 The Soviet Union was a hyper-centralized machine state that could not function properly.

01:48:34.000 And then it just collapses on itself.

01:48:35.000 It can't work.

01:48:36.000 Communism can't work.

01:48:38.000 Authoritarianism cannot work.

01:48:39.000 They keep trying it over and over again.

01:48:41.000 It doesn't work.

01:48:42.000 However, you look at capitalist systems and the coalescing of power into monopolies and government authority, eventually it will break down.

01:48:52.000 You get revolutions, you get social disorder and collapse.

01:48:55.000 But again, to your point, if you think lying to someone to manipulate their behavior into doing something that you think is good is good, you're evil.

01:49:05.000 Yeah, but not lying, if it's just truly what I believe.

01:49:07.000 If it's like, say, all these people think that cutting up other humans is the right way to do it, and I'm like, well, as we know that being kind to people is the basis of goodness and what we all want, you should do these things.

01:49:20.000 And then they don't even question that kindness is the basis of what we want.

01:49:23.000 These are two different points.

01:49:24.000 You said, to anchor an idea, remove from its context, to manipulate them into doing good things.

01:49:29.000 That's evil.

01:49:30.000 The idea is to do kindness.

01:49:32.000 Because you are asserting your singular worldview over the decentralization of the system.

01:49:38.000 No one human knows what the entirety of humanity needs.

01:49:41.000 Is it like, incrementally it's okay, once in a while it's okay to do that, but not to do it?

01:49:46.000 I don't think it's ever okay.

01:49:48.000 I think sometimes we naturally may not include all relevant context because we just don't know.

01:49:53.000 That's a natural tendency, sure.

01:49:54.000 But the idea that you would purposefully exclude information to trick someone into thinking the wrong thing, that's evil!

01:50:03.000 You are corrupting the system.

01:50:05.000 You go to a person and you say, A plus B equals C.

01:50:10.000 That's the point.

01:50:11.000 That B is very important.

01:50:12.000 It matters for a lot of reasons.

01:50:14.000 And then you get these people who say A equals C. And you're like, okay, that may be a true conclusion at some point.

01:50:20.000 The problem, B was peanuts and they were allergic to peanuts.

01:50:23.000 And so then they're like, you say, in order to get to this place, you need only walk from here to here.

01:50:30.000 And what you don't tell them is that they're walking through quicksand.

01:50:33.000 You omit the context because you think it's better that this person does something that you want them to do without them knowing.

01:50:38.000 No.

01:50:39.000 People need accurate information.

01:50:40.000 This is the point of journalism.

01:50:41.000 It was supposed to be that a well-informed population could run their country very well.

01:50:46.000 And if someone says, I don't want to get, say, my doctor says that I'm high risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome, I should not be required to get this vaccine.

01:50:57.000 Well, these people would lie to you because it's better that the entirety of society, so say I, do this one thing.

01:51:04.000 And then what happens?

01:51:05.000 People get hurt.

01:51:06.000 Because people need to get sound advice that fits their lives at a singular level, and then you worry about the rest.

01:51:12.000 But we should read more Super Chats.

01:51:14.000 Alright, Jacob Pauly says, Tim and crew!

01:51:17.000 Why should conservatives even stand by the law if the left doesn't?

01:51:21.000 Is it just too late, and should we say, screw it, let's play ball?

01:51:24.000 I don't see any resolution here.

01:51:25.000 I'm a classical lib, but I'm just done, man.

01:51:28.000 The Constitution is dead.

01:51:30.000 Let me just make this really quick and then throw it to you, Ian.

01:51:34.000 Because if you do, they won.

01:51:37.000 That is what they want you to do.

01:51:39.000 They are hoping the law ceases to exist so that they can recreate it.

01:51:43.000 The moment we stop We stop believing in this system and the Constitution is the moment they say, finally, we've gotten their confidence broken.

01:51:52.000 That's what I'm worried about with everything they're doing.

01:51:54.000 The point at which people on the right say, there is no system.

01:51:57.000 And that's why I'm extremely angry and concerned about these Republicans who did not hold Garland in contempt because they just did it.

01:52:06.000 That's a big part of what the left wants you to do, too.

01:52:08.000 They want you to say, well, it's all rigged anyway, so I'm not going to vote. 1.00

01:52:11.000 Or maybe you're going to, you know, Fed post on the Internet or you're going to do something stupid. 0.98

01:52:15.000 Then they can throw the full weight of the system against you. 0.99

01:52:17.000 So don't fall for the PSYOP.

01:52:19.000 If they already had control and they had already won, all their propaganda wouldn't be necessary.

01:52:24.000 I see like the people in the government have to execute righteous lawfare.

01:52:28.000 That's their purpose.

01:52:29.000 But the private sector is enabled to disobey.

01:52:33.000 It's called civil disobedience.

01:52:35.000 And if the system has gone awry, we have no choice other than to disobey the evil corrupt system.

01:52:41.000 But that's the independent, that's the private sector does that.

01:52:44.000 Within the government, they're not supposed to do that.

01:52:46.000 They have to remain lawful.

01:52:48.000 They're supposed to.

01:52:49.000 Well, I'll just break.

01:52:51.000 I think everything we're seeing with Biden and the chaos and Trump and all that, the system is broken.

01:52:58.000 And we are desperately holding the strands together, but it's busted.

01:53:03.000 That's it.

01:53:04.000 Democrats have completely broken it.

01:53:06.000 They keep screaming that it's Trump, but I'm telling you, like, anybody who takes five minutes to do a Google search realizes, hey, they've been lying the whole time.

01:53:13.000 The easiest way to explain this to your family members when they don't believe you, they're like, no, it's the Republicans who are lying.

01:53:17.000 It's like, who in the family told you that Joe Biden was ill?

01:53:21.000 Was it me?

01:53:22.000 And how long ago did I tell you this?

01:53:25.000 And you didn't believe me, and then you watched the debate and you were surprised to learn that the media had lied to you, that Democrats had lied to you, the commercials, all of these things, they were all lying the whole time, and I was the one telling you the truth.

01:53:36.000 Now do you believe me?

01:53:37.000 Maybe now people might be like, Yeah, maybe.

01:53:41.000 What's going on?

01:53:42.000 You know, I don't know.

01:53:43.000 It'll be hard for some people because it's painful to realize that they were on the wrong side.

01:53:46.000 They were bad guys.

01:53:47.000 But I tell you, you look at what these Democrats are doing and Joe Biden is the proof.

01:53:51.000 You need not get into great detail.

01:53:54.000 They lied to you the whole time. 0.99

01:53:56.000 They are evil. 0.95

01:53:57.000 They are lying, and they are shattering this machine. 0.99

01:53:59.000 They are breaking this country on purpose.

01:54:02.000 Hopefully Trump wins.

01:54:04.000 Hopefully we can see some remedy.

01:54:06.000 Hopefully these guys in Ohio and California, these Republicans, they face some kind of political penalty at home.

01:54:13.000 Maybe that means they lose donors.

01:54:14.000 I don't know.

01:54:15.000 But we gotta right the ship.

01:54:18.000 Alright, let's grab some more.

01:54:19.000 Let's grab some more superchats.

01:54:21.000 Next, the Slayer says, I was following Tim on Axe today.

01:54:23.000 Seems like he woke up and chose violence, lol.

01:54:26.000 I don't know which tweet you're referring to.

01:54:29.000 Maybe.

01:54:30.000 You wake up feeling spicy today?

01:54:32.000 I don't know, I always tweet shenanigans.

01:54:34.000 I saw you tweet at like 5 in the morning a couple days ago.

01:54:37.000 No.

01:54:38.000 Yeah, it was like 5 a.m.

01:54:40.000 No, I don't think so.

01:54:41.000 Maybe you didn't sleep.

01:54:43.000 Check the records.

01:54:44.000 5 a.m., I don't know about that.

01:54:45.000 I swear, because I was still awake.

01:54:46.000 And I was like, what is he tweeting this early?

01:54:48.000 Oh, I mean, we were in Vegas.

01:54:50.000 Oh, there it is.

01:54:51.000 Right.

01:54:51.000 So it's not, yeah, it was like 8.

01:54:53.000 Gotcha.

01:54:54.000 8 something.

01:54:55.000 Yeah.

01:54:55.000 And it was like 2 a.m.

01:54:56.000 your time.

01:54:57.000 2 a.m.?

01:54:58.000 1 a.m.

01:54:58.000 or something, yeah.

01:55:00.000 Uh, no, because we went to bed at 10 p.m.

01:55:02.000 in Vegas.

01:55:03.000 I'll have to review it again.

01:55:05.000 IDGAF.com says, Tim, if you get any pushback for calling OnlyFans models prostitutes, you are etymologically correct. 1.00

01:55:15.000 Porné Graffé, Prostitute Writings. 0.79

01:55:19.000 Graffés, how do you pronounce it in French?

01:55:21.000 Graff is also the origin of graphene.

01:55:24.000 There's a joke in there somewhere.

01:55:25.000 What?

01:55:26.000 No way.

01:55:27.000 Is it really?

01:55:29.000 Yeah, Graff.

01:55:30.000 Right?

01:55:30.000 You know, photograph?

01:55:31.000 I wish I knew everything about grapheme, but... Come on, dude, you've got time to study up!

01:55:37.000 What does that word mean?

01:55:37.000 Probably means something related to visual representation.

01:55:40.000 Yeah, like a graph is what you draw on in math.

01:55:43.000 Telegraph?

01:55:44.000 Photograph?

01:55:46.000 Pornograph?

01:55:48.000 Hmm.

01:55:51.000 All right.

01:55:52.000 NYBSFP says Bannon and the other, Navarro, turned themselves in.

01:55:57.000 Maybe they should have ignored the Dems like Garland is ignoring them.

01:56:00.000 I have less pity for them than I would have otherwise.

01:56:02.000 No, it's because the DOJ went after them, and the DOJ did not go after Garland.

01:56:07.000 There was no law enforcement to go and arrest Garland.

01:56:09.000 They wouldn't do it.

01:56:11.000 Uh, graph apparently is a Greek suffix meaning to scratch, to scrape, to graze.

01:56:18.000 Not to disrupt the super chat here, but.

01:56:18.000 Cool.

01:56:20.000 Probably a reference, is there expanded etymology on that one?

01:56:23.000 Let me look.

01:56:23.000 Because I bet it's like, you would draw it, you know what I mean?

01:56:26.000 Yeah, that's how pornography was probably originally drawn art.

01:56:29.000 Writings.

01:56:30.000 And photograph is photo, light, etching.

01:56:33.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:34.000 Yeah, and to write, I mean, you'd be scratching something on paper.

01:56:36.000 There's also, it says, um, any of the possible forms of a grapheme with an M. I don't know what that is.

01:56:44.000 I keep hearing good things about Ian's Graphene Dream.

01:56:46.000 Oh, I want to try some.

01:56:47.000 I still have it.

01:56:48.000 Okay, maybe take a bag if we got some here.

01:56:50.000 It's low acidity.

01:56:51.000 I think we have a bag.

01:56:52.000 It's our lowest acidity coffee.

01:56:54.000 So try it.

01:56:54.000 Ian's Graphene Dream.

01:56:56.000 I think it's asperu.com.

01:56:57.000 What are the benefits of low acidity coffee?

01:56:59.000 Well, if you ever get stomach nausea, you'll notice less of that from my anecdotal experience.

01:57:06.000 I can handle a lot more in my throat.

01:57:07.000 It's great.

01:57:08.000 Cool.

01:57:11.000 All right.

01:57:11.000 Citizen7 said, the same people that called VoterID racist are the same people that wanted all of us to walk around with vaccine passports.

01:57:17.000 Mm-hmm.

01:57:18.000 That's right.

01:57:19.000 And I have questions about why they're requiring vaccines for cold medicine when they know that will disproportionately affect minorities.

01:57:26.000 What are they trying to say about that, huh?

01:57:28.000 Racists.

01:57:30.000 Viperman says, put this toward the billboards targeting the rhinos.

01:57:33.000 Well, again, guys, like, I gotta call my lawyer first.

01:57:37.000 And so everyone gets all excited and I'm like, I'm going to call my lawyer and there's going to be like, here are the laws limiting what you can do.

01:57:42.000 And it's like, okay, you know, and then maybe we'll do something.

01:57:44.000 But I do think a couple of billboards in each district would be, would be cathartic.

01:57:49.000 Mike Williams says, buy a billboard truck that you could reuse whenever you want.

01:57:52.000 That's a good idea.

01:57:53.000 I like the idea of billboards though, like right in downtown, just big ones.

01:57:57.000 And in Ohio and these districts, it probably wouldn't be that expensive.

01:58:00.000 You got to find like a high trafficked area.

01:58:02.000 It might be like three grand for the month in these smaller areas, you know?

01:58:07.000 You know, we'll see.

01:58:08.000 And then, man, that'll be awkward for him, I guess.

01:58:12.000 Yeah.

01:58:12.000 Like, how do you answer that?

01:58:14.000 Oh, there's this guy, he's mad at me because something.

01:58:17.000 It's like, well, what's going on?

01:58:19.000 What's with this billboard?

01:58:20.000 And he puts a billboard here outside the skate park.

01:58:23.000 Yeah, I'm fine with that.

01:58:24.000 No, I'm not.

01:58:27.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:58:29.000 We got time for a couple more.

01:58:32.000 All right.

01:58:34.000 The mayor of Serious Town says, has anyone considered that having schools, which are notoriously led by leftists who dislike tradition in Christianity, teaching children what the Bible is about?

01:58:42.000 Maybe this isn't the best idea.

01:58:45.000 Right.

01:58:46.000 I mean, like, you're talking about the jurisdictions where they want prayer or ten commandments in schools and things like this?

01:58:52.000 Yeah, I just think we have to realize that we should not live in a world where we hand our children to the state.

01:58:59.000 Amen.

01:59:00.000 It's weird, right?

01:59:01.000 Like, how do we get to this point where the kids used to be with the parents at work?

01:59:05.000 And this is the thing, like, pre-industrialization, what was life like?

01:59:09.000 Mom and dad wake up.

01:59:11.000 Mom helps the kids a little bit.

01:59:12.000 Dad helps the little kids a little bit.

01:59:14.000 Depending on how young the kid is, mom may be nursing.

01:59:16.000 Dad goes and tends to the cattle.

01:59:18.000 Mom goes and tends to the chickens, churns some butter, comes in, washes some laundry.

01:59:22.000 Dad and the son may go out and catch some rodents for stew that night.

01:59:26.000 Everybody was contributing what they could.

01:59:27.000 Kids were there with their parents learning.

01:59:29.000 And there were some schoolhouses at some point, but they were relatively small.

01:59:32.000 A lot of stuff was done in the church.

01:59:34.000 Then industrialization happens, and now your kids are left Here you go, go to the state.

01:59:40.000 Now the parents don't see their kids anymore?

01:59:41.000 Their kids are raised by strangers?

01:59:44.000 It's weird.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, we started homeschooling about a year ago, and it's been awesome.

01:59:48.000 If you can do it, I highly recommend it.

01:59:50.000 There's a lot of different ways you can get into it.

01:59:51.000 But I think pushing school choice at the local level, and then maybe even eventually the federal level, is the way that we break free from that system.

01:59:59.000 I'm just anti-school in general.

02:00:00.000 Homeschool all the way, 100%.

02:00:01.000 Pods.

02:00:04.000 Whatever you gotta do.

02:00:04.000 Alright everybody, if you haven't already, smash the like button!

02:00:07.000 One like equals one hashtag free Bannon.

02:00:10.000 And I really do mean it.

02:00:11.000 Steve Bannon, he is a good dude, and I have tremendous respect for him.

02:00:16.000 Fighting the good fight, standing up for what he believes in, and doing the right thing.
