Joe Biden decrees that the Equal Rights Amendment is now law of the land, and the corporate media doesn t care. TikTok is being banned from the App Store, the Supreme Court agrees, and more! Plus, we have a special guest on the show to talk about this and much more.
00:01:09.000Now, the ruling is actually that China must divest.
00:01:12.000TikTok is choosing to shut themselves down in this country, but it's an effective ban based on what's going to happen.
00:01:17.000They're going to pull it from the App Store.
00:01:19.000Donald Trump apparently wants to have an executive order to protect TikTok, but that would be insane because then what do our laws mean if they're just ignored outright?
00:01:28.000Aside from that, the third-party companies that run these servers and host the app probably going to just take them down anyway because they don't want to be involved in anything criminal.
00:01:39.000But before we get into all of the news today, make sure you head over to timcast.com and click join us to become a member and support our work directly.
00:04:41.000Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified.
00:04:46.000The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law, regardless of their sex.
00:04:53.000You then get this beautiful, beautiful community note that says, actually, the National Archivist, who is responsible for enrolling new amendments, has stated the ERA has not been lawfully ratified, citing a legal opinion drafted by the Biden Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel in 2022, confirming this position.
00:05:10.000And then we get good old Kirsten Gillibrand.
00:05:27.000You get the double community note because she gets community noted and then Biden is community noted because it is not ratified.
00:05:35.000But what I find truly fascinating with all this is that Biden just tried to decree an amendment to the Constitution and the media isn't screaming that he's a despot trying to take over the country.
00:05:45.000Yeah, they're not calling him a fascist.
00:07:05.000Trump tweets covfefe, and it said despite the negative press covfefe, obviously he was going to say coverage, and then he sausage-fingered the phone and accidentally sent it.
00:07:30.000The thing about what Democrats do is they post insane lies that negatively impact our actual society, whereas Trump just posts memes and then like rants and has run on sentences or covfefe.
00:08:06.000So let's read Biden's new 20th Amendment.
00:08:08.000Amendment, it says, resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America and Congress assembled two thirds of each house that the following articles proposed and amended, etc.
00:08:17.000Article one, equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article.
00:08:30.000And 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
00:08:34.000So, can someone explain to me what the heck the first section even means?
00:08:39.000Equality of rights of the law shall not be denied or abridged.
00:08:42.000We already have the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:08:56.000The idea that there's some form of inequality out there.
00:09:02.000That is systemic as BS. And the fact that, or the idea that it's legal to discriminate because of the 64 Civil Rights Act, the idea that it's legal to discriminate, that's BS too.
00:10:49.000I think every president likes to leave behind some kind of legacy or I did this when I was in office, etc.
00:10:54.000I think with Biden, right, he's going to have a pretty much tarnished legacy.
00:10:58.000So on his way out, like, look, I did this.
00:11:00.000And yeah, I think that's kind of what it is.
00:11:02.000Like every president likes to have something that they're remembered by, some kind of act or some kind of order that they put in place while they were in office.
00:11:10.000He's trying to avoid being remembered exactly like Jimmy Carter, and it's a little bit unnerving how many parallels there seems to be between him and Jimmy Carter.
00:11:31.000Like, make America great again was effectively his Reagan slogan.
00:11:34.000And I think Jimmy Carter was also the first person to, or Joe Biden was the first sitting senator to endorse Jimmy Carter when he ran or something like that.
00:12:02.000So I think this was like, okay, I gave a bunch of unpopular pardons on people that probably shouldn't be pardoned.
00:12:07.000Let me go ahead and do this thing and say, woo, civil rights.
00:12:09.000I don't see the benefit of making this kind of assertion, though.
00:12:13.000Everyone knows, like everyone serious knows.
00:12:16.000And another thing is I don't see why CNN is covering it as if it's a real thing as well.
00:12:22.000The idea that it's going to be challenged in the courts, it's not going to be a law at all.
00:12:27.000Like, this is just factually not true.
00:12:30.000They're making stuff up and asserting, oh, we have this power.
00:12:35.000The federal government acts, or well, people act as if the executive branch has a whole lot more authorities than it does.
00:12:42.000And hopefully, even though people want to see Trump come in and do a bunch of stuff, hopefully, when Trump's done...
00:12:48.000The actual office of the executive office is significantly smaller because hopefully he's gotten rid of a lot of the bureaucracies or at least shrunk them.
00:12:58.000Move them out of D.C. so that way people quit.
00:13:01.000I mean, look, we were talking last night.
00:13:05.000If you move the bureaucracies, like when you move a business or whatever, there's about 20% attrition rate.
00:13:11.000So move the bureaucracies out of D.C. It serves multiple purposes.
00:13:16.000First of all, it changes the culture because they're not trying to get into the same parties.
00:13:24.000To be hanging out with the cool people in D.C. That stuff ends if you put Department of Agriculture in Iowa and you put the FBI, I don't know, in Denver or whatever.
00:13:34.000Just get them out of D.C. Put the FBI up in Alaska.
00:13:39.000But the point is, get them out of D.C. because D.C. went 94% for Kamala Harris.
00:13:59.000And then hopefully that'll shrink the power of the executive branch because the cabinet-level bureaucracies will shrink because people will decide, I don't want to go to these weird places.
00:14:08.000I like living in D.C. Maybe I can get a job as a lobbyist or whatever.
00:14:12.000And hopefully this will have an actual, tangible, positive effect on the sides of the bureaucracy.
00:14:18.000Because you know that if Trump tries to fire anybody, there's going to be all kinds of issues with that too.
00:14:23.000Not to get into the political weeds a little bit too much here, but I think the presidents are able to dictate like this because Congress has kind of sent their duties away to the president by not fulfilling them themselves.
00:14:34.000So Congress is completely, the process is retarded.
00:14:40.000And with the Senate filibuster, with over 60 votes, they're barely able to pass something right now.
00:14:46.000I think the majority, after Elise Stefanik gets confirmed, is going to be something like 217 to 215. So with Congress unable to get anything done, the presidency feels more and more emboldened.
00:14:57.000Congress people do not want to take controversial stances and have to lose when they run again in two years.
00:15:01.000And they'd rather send that to the presidency and let him do all their dirty work.
00:15:05.000I mean, I think we can blame, you know, Blame George Bush and the Congress that we had during the aughts because they abdicated a massive amount of power to the president by saying that they gave him the authority to wage war in Iraq, which, in my opinion, there was nothing good that came from the Iraq War.
00:15:25.000The fact that Congress no longer passes laws, everything's an omnibus, they...
00:15:31.000Do everything they can to shirk responsibility and have their constituents have some way to deny that they did something their constituents dislike.
00:15:42.000But Myron, certainly this should be disconcerting because with this new Equal Rights Amendment, should it be actually viewed as ratified, you're going to have twice as hard of a time to get rid of the 19th.
00:16:27.000Yeah, we need to get rid of a lot of people's rights to vote.
00:16:32.000That's the family guy joke, where Peter's like, we're going to set a new country where everyone can vote, except for black people and women and Jewish people.
00:17:07.000If you had a limited government that actually was restricted by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the powers laid out in the Constitution, I don't care because it's not supposed to matter.
00:17:19.000It's supposed to be states that really matter to you.
00:18:26.000TikTok's data collection practices are insane.
00:18:28.000The app gathers data that other apps normally consider off-limits, including the content of users' private messages and the full contents of a user's device contacts.
00:18:39.000I've also heard this, and I don't know if it's true, that it collects the private messages of other apps.
00:18:51.000If you read the terms of service, it's actually very scary.
00:18:54.000I'll try and pull that up in a second.
00:18:55.000They say, it's the last part that concerns SCOTUS the most.
00:18:58.000If you have an email contact who has a TikTok account, China has your name, email, and possibly your phone number, photo, and more.
00:19:05.000Chinese law requires its social media companies, including TikTok and ByteDance, to assist or cooperate with the Chinese government's intelligence work and to ensure that Chinese government has the power to access and control private data.
00:19:26.000The email address of someone that has a TikTok account has your email address, that means they likely have all of your information as well.
00:19:35.000That's probably a significant issue for the Supreme Court.
00:19:39.000If you want to say, I don't want a TikTok, I don't want to have TikTok, I don't download it on my phone, that's supposed to insulate you from being...
00:19:48.000I'm going to add on to that in a second.
00:19:51.000Congress and the FBI worry that this info and more could be used for espionage or to compile blackmail dossiers on elected officials or government employees.
00:19:59.000All nine SCOTUS justices agree that the need to prevent espionage overrules any First Amendment concerns.
00:20:05.000And then he says you should stop watching those stupid dancing videos months ago.
00:20:09.000Facebook has something called shadow profiles.
00:22:31.000And in the future, the Chinese government will have tons of their data to blackmail them with.
00:22:36.000And that's why it's a national security threat when your nephew films himself eating corn on the cob off a Makita drill bit.
00:22:43.000Which someone did, and it hurt their teeth.
00:22:45.000But the interesting thing is, he's oversimplified it quite a bit, but that is a big issue.
00:22:53.000And then, as it pertains to the law, I do want to read this from OSINT Defender.
00:22:58.000If TikTok is at all accessible after Sunday, it will truly prove just how useless our federal government really is.
00:23:05.000What is the point of declaring something a national security threat and pushing to ban it only to totally change up days before the ban goes into effect?
00:23:26.000I mean, I've made this point before the past couple nights.
00:23:29.000And, like, we had a whole big episode where Tim and one of our guests was talking about it, and there was the free speech or the morality argument.
00:23:38.000For me, it's just a matter of, like Jimmy Kimmel's saying, it's just a matter of national security.
00:23:42.000So, like, if all of this information is being collected by the Chinese Communist Party, that is a bad thing for the United States national security.
00:24:17.000It's worse if a foreign adversary is doing it.
00:24:21.000And just to spell out why it's worse if a foreign adversary does it as opposed to a national company in America, we could FOIA request companies in America, we could bring lawsuits to them, and TikTok answers to nobody.
00:24:34.000Well, actually, they answer to somebody, the CCP. So that's the difference between the two.
00:24:38.000And I'm obviously for the banning as well.
00:24:40.000We've seen how the government colludes with these big tech platforms, and it's bad.
00:24:48.000In the United States, If the federal government had compromising information that was stolen from your social media and released it, that would be a major scandal that could result in serious political consequences.
00:25:02.000If China has compromising information from your direct messages and releases it, nothing.
00:25:23.000Then they blackmail the kid saying, we're going to upload this publicly and share it with all of your friends in school unless you give us money or do this thing.
00:25:30.000And this one kid committed suicide because of it.
00:25:33.000These people probably don't even live in the United States.
00:25:35.000What happens when China contacts some dude who's 20, not even a nuclear physicist, an intern working for a member of Congress?
00:25:46.000You are going to download the hard drive in your office and click this link and click this button, which will send all of the data to this server.
00:26:03.000Because that person either has to go public with that information, go to the police, or be blackmailed and give up compromising information on the U.S. government or our politicians.
00:26:22.000I do think that there's a national security threat, especially with the amount of information it collects on there, can absolutely put a lot of people in compromising situations.
00:26:33.000We've been talking about getting rid of it for China reasons for years, but it wasn't until the ADL made us think about it that they said we're going to get rid of TikTok.
00:26:45.000But it is interesting how Democrats only recently got on board.
00:26:49.000But before we get into that, and I want to make sure everyone knows, like, put a pin in that one because we're going to jump to it in literally one minute.
00:26:55.000It is strange that we went from Trump says let's ban it, Democrats say no, Democrats and Republicans then agree let's ban it.
00:27:02.000And now Donald Trump is saying don't ban it.
00:27:04.000And what we heard the other day is that there are prominent Trump-supporting conservatives who are now lobbying on behalf of TikTok in the United States.
00:28:24.000They treat their users like absolute trash.
00:28:28.000The thing that people love about TikTok is the way that the algorithm spreads their content and the fact that TikTok lays it out right in front of you.
00:28:38.000If you want to gain followers, do these things.
00:28:43.000If Instagram would do that, Instagram would fill the role that TikTok has instantly.
00:28:52.000If Instagram just said, look, we know that you guys wanted, that the American people really like TikTok, so what we're doing is we're going to change the way that our algorithm works, so that way we're going to help you guys reach other people.
00:29:20.000I think I have like 20,000 users or whatever.
00:29:22.000And I got a message from Instagram the other day, one of the little posts that said, your post reached 330 people that are not in your network.
00:30:26.000The principal reason for this, the reason why this got banned is not because of Chinese threats, but because of the threat of China and a threat to our data and security, but because of Israeli interests.
00:30:36.000So I'm curious if you want to elaborate on that and why you think that is.
00:30:39.000Yeah, I mean, we've been talking about banning TikTok for espionage for years, but it wasn't until the ADL and everyone else started making a stink about, you know, the overwhelming overrepresentation of pro-Palestine posts on TikTok that they actually started making things happen.
00:30:52.000And now we're kind of seeing the entail of that where they're getting rid of it.
00:30:55.000There's been an enormous amount of lobbying from these organizations that are pro-Zionists to get rid of TikTok.
00:31:01.000I mean, hell, a bunch of them tried to buy it.
00:31:03.000Ian Carroll made a fantastic video about this.
00:31:05.000So, yeah, I mean, you know, the truth is, is that the main reason why TikTok is getting removed from the United States is for Israeli security.
00:31:24.000Yeah, but I do believe you are largely correct that it was lobbying from pro-Israel groups that resulted in Democrats changing their tune on the banning of TikTok.
00:31:32.000This story from Axios we covered at the time and straight up said that it was posts in favor of Palestine that resulted in Democrats finally getting on board with Republicans to get TikTok effectively banned.
00:31:45.000In this story, it says, on TikTok, views of pro-Palestine posts far surpassed views of pro-Israel posts.
00:32:50.000From in the next week, which is a rapid shift, with only 87,000 posts, so a decrease of around 40,000 posts, Stand With Palestine was now getting 285 million views.
00:33:04.000Stand with Israel saw an increase to 64 million views with 9000 posts.
00:33:09.000But this is indicative of an intentional change in the algorithm.
00:33:13.000Now, there's one or two ways to look at it.
00:33:15.000TikTok's algorithm updates itself once a week, perhaps.
00:33:18.000And based on the amount of posts that came through, TikTok's algorithm automatically adjusted to then show more of this because so much content was being produced.
00:33:51.000Ilad, I'm curious, as someone who is much more pro-Israel, what you think of that?
00:33:56.000I disagree that Israel is the main factor at play when it comes to the banning of TikTok.
00:34:02.000I think it's oversimplistic, lacks nuance, and it makes you actually miss a bigger and more interesting story of the interests that are at play here.
00:34:10.000So, for example, Trump used to be against or was for the TikTok banning initially because he was listening to many China hawks, and he had a bad relationship with a very rich billionaire named Jeffrey Yas, who has a very large investment in ByteDance, and he is of the club.
00:34:25.000For Growth, a group that's been lobbying on TikTok's behalf to keep them together.
00:34:30.000Trump fixed his relationship with Jeffrey Yass and he became a large Trump donor.
00:34:33.000And that's large in part why Trump has flipped on the TikTok issue.
00:34:37.000I think it also misses the bigger picture of other social media companies stand to benefit so much from TikTok's banning.
00:34:47.000Twitter, obviously, benefits a ton from this.
00:34:50.000And then also TikTok played their hand very poorly.
00:34:53.000I don't know if you remember, initially when the bill came...
00:34:54.000It came out before October 7th when all the China Hawks were talking about banning TikTok.
00:35:01.000When you opened up the TikTok app, they actually had your congressman's phone number and then congresspeople got spanned with phone calls from young teenagers who never voted complaining about the TikTok, the looming TikTok ban.
00:35:13.000And I'll tell you one thing, congresspeople do not like being pushed around like that.
00:35:23.000And that's really one of the issues, I think, with spewing this stuff, is that you miss the bigger, more interesting political story, and it's kind of an...
00:35:33.000I think TikTok should be forced to divest from China for all of the data reasons.
00:35:40.000So when someone comes to me and says, Tim, it's the Jews they did, I'll be like, wow, they're great.
00:35:44.000I'm really happy that they helped us out here because they have base.
00:35:47.000Not only should you be thankful that the Jews got TikTok banned, they also helped get rid of Jamal Bowman, the Jews, and they also helped get rid of Cori Bush.
00:35:54.000I don't think the Jews get enough credit for all the good, the obvious.
00:35:56.000Well, maybe they really are our best ally.
00:37:00.000In general, on social media platforms, Israel is just not liked.
00:37:04.000Whether you look at YouTube videos where there's someone debating Zionism versus pro-Palestine stances, the comment section, overwhelmingly anti-Israel.
00:37:12.000You fiercely misunderstand the function of social media in that regard.
00:37:15.000A loud community does not mean majority.
00:38:51.000But I will say that there's a reason why the ADL is lobbying so strongly and saying anti-Semitism is on the rise and saying all this other stuff.
00:38:58.000The youth people, young people are waking up and realizing that Israel is not our greatest allies.
00:39:03.000I think there's a lot of people with legitimate criticisms of Israel.
00:39:08.000We can see here from NBC News, to go back into the story.
00:39:11.000I'm not a fan of NBC News, but look, critics renew calls for a TikTok ban claiming platform as an anti-Israel bias.
00:39:18.000This is reported widely following October, saying that members of Congress, conservative activists, and wealthy tech investors are renewing calls to ban it, arguing that the popular content related to Israel-Hamas war on the app has a pro-Palestinian slant.
00:39:31.000The concern was that it opposed U.S. military interests.
00:39:33.000China was trying to sow discord and all that stuff.
00:39:36.000It opposes Israeli interests, I would say.
00:39:40.000Certainly Israeli interests, but that also is U.S. military interests.
00:39:44.000Whether you think Israel is directing American foreign policy or the inverse, either way, the U.S. foreign policy is negatively impacted by TikTok, and I think the phrasing of that matters because it is the U.S. that is banning TikTok.
00:39:56.000Do you think that when you say that Israel is directing U.S. foreign policy, do you think that Israel decides what the United States does?
00:40:06.000Israel absolutely dictates our foreign policy, especially in the Middle East.
00:40:10.000You mentioned Iraq War earlier, right?
00:40:58.000If we're going to go ahead and look at our foreign policy in the Middle East, it's 100% dictated for Israeli security.
00:41:03.000I totally disagree because I think that a lot of the reason that we do have the military actions is because of the Saudis, because we're defending the Saudis, because of the military base that we have in Saudi Arabia and stuff like that, and keeping the Saudi royal family in power because of oil.
00:41:32.000If you were to say that Israel has immense pressure on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, I'd be like, interesting, tell me more.
00:41:38.000If you say they direct all of it, I'm going to be like, bro, come on, the Mujahideen, Afghanistan, the Soviets, all that stuff was not about Israel.
00:41:45.000So to be so absolute, I feel, hurts your argument.
00:43:15.000Like, they made a chart of all the media personalities.
00:43:17.000Not only Jewish, though, but Israeli citizens, and these aren't Israeli citizens.
00:43:20.000The point is, is that they went ahead, and whether we're going to talk about a clean break memo, we're going to talk about foreign policy, etc.
00:43:26.000We have guys that are vastly interested in the security of Israel.
00:43:30.000There are government employees that have a dual loyalty.
00:43:32.000I know that's a dirty word nowadays, but that is the truth.
00:43:35.000I think the argument here is that there's no logical basis not to argue the inverse.
00:43:40.000That the U.S. utilizes Israel as a partner in the Middle East for U.S. strategic interests, and so that's...
00:43:47.000You would have no beef in the Middle East if not for Israel.
00:43:55.000With the Soviets, that's a whole other situation.
00:43:57.000We armed the Mujahideen and Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda to fight the Russians.
00:44:03.000So in the Middle East, when we armed the Mujahideen and American imperialism radicalized and radicalized a bunch of them to become al-Qaeda, why did they radicalize?
00:44:12.000Because American Empire was going and basically taking over a bunch of countries, overthrowing governments like Iran, bombing other countries, partnering with the Saudis, joining enemies of certain Islamic groups.
00:44:22.000The United States was interfering in the Middle East to go to war with other countries.
00:45:15.000What we end up then hearing from certain groups of people is that Israel is directing it.
00:45:20.000When it's like, I don't know, I mean, like, the US probably meets with Israel and says, here are the objectives we want, and then they work as a team.
00:45:26.000It is the foundation of many of the reasons why the Middle East hates us.
00:46:24.000But the U.S. neocon neoliberal establishment and the military industrial complex and the petrodollar machine and the IMF and the swift payment system largely benefit from all of these incursions and alliances.
00:48:04.000I mean like a group of people literally coming together to try and dictate something is that people will find a morsel of truth and they will isolate with a magnifying glass, zoom in, and it becomes their whole world.
00:48:14.000There are so many moving pieces to American empire.
00:49:54.000Ukraine, according to numerous sources, including Politico, which contradicts itself, Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to try and get Hillary Clinton elected.
00:50:01.000The Ukrainian president has come to this country and lobbied Congress, and Congress all waved Ukrainian flags in unison.
00:50:49.000I'm not saying that Ukrainians secretly control the world.
00:50:52.000Foreign policy is not dictated by any one source.
00:50:55.000The figures at play here are massive, global, and I think the bigger picture to look at is IMF, SWIFT, the Military Industrial Complex, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations.
00:51:06.000These groups are not all one unified group.
00:51:09.000They're all just different wealthy special interests from various countries who all want somewhat different things but kind of align in certain areas.
00:51:15.000It's a big pie, and there are definitely Jews that are looking for a piece, but it's not all the Jews eating the pie.
00:51:22.000I'm very specific here where I'm saying that they're able to get away with certain things that other countries and other allies would never be able to get away with.
00:51:52.000A CIA agent, or I don't know if it was an agent or whatever, someone who was working with CIA, recorded a phone call, passed it off to another employee who blew the whistle, resulting in not only the impeachment of Donald Trump, an attempt to arrest and jail him, but also big tech companies in the United States banned anyone who would say the name of that CIA agent.
00:52:12.000That is one of the most insane things I have ever heard.
00:53:55.000You know, as you guys know, I used to be especially with DHS and I've done Secret Service details before.
00:54:00.000And I will tell you guys, I mean, obviously the fact that he's been almost assassinated twice.
00:54:04.000Is gonna play a role into that and to them they're like look we just want to get this done They're obviously probably stressing out right now They're making sure that he's gonna be safe because the worst thing that could happen is something happened to the president-elect on inauguration day So I think this is more of a self-preservation Whoever the director of the Secret Service is right now is like I'm not gonna get cheetled We're gonna bring him inside, we're gonna make sure this is good, and we're gonna get it done.
00:56:04.000Marjorie Taylor Greene said, I have personally attended countless rallies where President Trump spoke in extreme weather conditions from cold to rain to heat.
00:56:11.000Is there a security threat other than extreme cold temperatures, not only for him but for the people?
00:56:19.000We had already heard that there was, I believe it was the Secret Service or the FBI issued a statement that there was a severe threat from politically aggrieved individuals coming up in D.C. this week.
00:56:42.000Like, if I was the director of Secret Service, and I'm, like, responsible for his safety, given all the fucking issues that have occurred over the past few months, I want this to be done as nicely as possible, smooth, no issues, we got threats, whatever, I'm gonna mitigate as many risks as I can.
00:56:56.000He's indoors, I can control everything, I control who goes in, who goes out, there's no open air, like, they can't afford for anything to even, like...
00:58:10.000We'll scream and bash their faces on the table screaming revolution and then it starts raining and they say, you want to go inside and have tea and play video games instead?
00:58:19.000Like, it is wild to me having covered all these protests.
00:58:22.000And I don't know if you've experienced this too a lot, but like, they'll put out a flyer being like, we're protesting, everyone show up at, you know, Union Square or whatever.
00:58:30.000And then it rains and like 10 people show up.
00:58:43.000We'll see what the reaction is this time around.
00:58:45.000Last time around there was the Women's March.
00:58:48.000We'll see if something like that comes into play.
00:58:49.000It'd be funny if that, like, now that we're hearing that deep state people are quitting, Donald Trump is coming in, that all of a sudden Antifa just ceases to exist.
00:59:18.000It's just like, wait, this guy was already president.
00:59:20.000We should make a group called Antifa for Trump, and then show up in D.C. wearing, like, masks and everything, but waving American flags with Trump on it.
00:59:27.000It was just cheaper to hire one person to try to shoot him.
00:59:29.000Honestly, than have riots all summer long?
00:59:33.000I think that there's just not the energy there anymore.
00:59:38.000There has to be at least a baseline of people that are really upset.
00:59:43.000And without the stuff that came with the George Floyd situation, you don't see the same kind of people freaking out.
00:59:53.000Even the first time that he got elected, I wouldn't be surprised.
00:59:56.000If when he actually gets inaugurated, there is a little bit of...
00:59:59.000There are some issues in D.C. Like, you know, there was that dude that his limousine was caught on fire and there were some windows broken.
01:00:07.000That might happen, but I don't imagine that it's going to be a significant issue this time.
01:01:02.000So the fact that they brought them in, I was like, okay, like, they're really like, okay, we can't afford to have anything happen here.
01:01:08.000So I think at this point, right, we just got to get our guy sworn in nicely and safely and no director of Secret Service wants to take a risk and have their neck on the chopping block.
01:01:15.000What they saw happen to Cheadle, they're like, nope, we're just going to make sure he's good to get sworn in and we don't have to deal with no hands.
01:02:22.000But it is pretty wild to me that, you know, we had this debate this morning with some liberals, and the question they kept asking was, can you defend Trump's actions?
01:02:54.000Even if you're uncomfortable saying that it was stolen, like, if you can at least acknowledge that it was a novel election and having mailed, mailing out ballots and then having people go collect those ballots, that is...
01:03:06.000Dude, I listed off 20 things, like 10 or 20 things of issues that we had with this election.
01:03:13.000I'm like, okay, what about the other 19 things I named?
01:03:16.000There's actually one issue that needs to be answered that was never answered that could have changed the results of the election, and it was none of the things you mentioned.
01:03:23.000It was the unilateral altering of the elections by governors and judges, which violates the Constitution.
01:04:49.000So now, as a nation, we do not have an answer to the question of what happens when states unilaterally, through executive authority, alter an elections rules in violation of the federal constitution.
01:05:01.000That is a constitutional crisis, and it's never been answered, needs to be answered, and it's shocking that we're in this position.
01:05:07.000So to all those liberals who are like, Trump did this, Trump did that, I'll be like, don't know, don't care.
01:05:12.000Several states, the governors, like Georgia, said, we're doing it this way.
01:05:17.000That's unconstitutional, and it's never been ruled on.
01:05:20.000And the issue of standing happens when someone would say, I'm a voter in this state.
01:05:25.000I do not like that they changed the rules.
01:05:28.000It impacts the results of the election.
01:05:29.000The courts would say, no standing because you're not running for office.
01:05:34.000Then Donald Trump would sue and they would say, no standing because it's moot.
01:05:39.000They wouldn't say no standing, they would say moot, that the outcome of changing this would not alter the election substantively, so we will actually not take the merits.
01:05:48.000So they didn't actually get a chance to argue what should have been argued.
01:05:51.000I viewed it as largely corrupt and procedural, but there is actually only one point that matters to 2020. I mean, the first thing I'll say is it's over.
01:05:58.000Trump wins, in three days he'll be president, and we can all just...
01:06:01.000It actually worked out well for us in that he created this coalition with RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramoswamy.
01:06:25.000He didn't have a cause to say, well, we need to question this election because it's BS. And what you mentioned with the courts, what I mentioned, it warranted an investigation at bare minimum.
01:06:34.000It's not like the MAGA movement was like, oh, this is bullshit.
01:06:38.000No, there was questions there with this election.
01:06:41.000The only thing that mattered in 2020 was that power won.
01:06:47.000You can claim it was stolen from Trump.
01:08:07.000It's going to be funny when Trump launches an investigation and it comes out and they say, that lectern actually was owned by Adam.
01:08:15.000Lectern guy, can I ask you, what's your reaction to J.D. Vance?
01:08:19.000I think he said that he wanted to pardon the non-violent, I think, or people who didn't attack cop January 6th rioters.
01:08:26.000I have a different take than a lot of J6ers.
01:08:29.000I think that we should pardon the non-violent people day one, just full on pardon.
01:08:34.000I do think that we should commit sentences for people who committed acts of violence because they've served way more time than people typically serve for those charges.
01:08:42.000My concern with the blanket pardoned is that not just that people who were maybe bad actors get swept under the rug, it's that the entire thing gets swept under the rug.
01:08:50.000I want to know where the pipe bomb came from, who was in charge of that.
01:08:54.000I want to know why the Capitol doors, magnetic locks were opened.
01:08:57.000I want to know exactly who was in that crowd, who may have been instigating some of the things like breaking windows.
01:09:11.000I want to ask you just to follow up because some critics would, not critics, I obviously want pardons for the right people and not for the others, but there's some who say Trump needs to just put this stuff behind him and for him to rehash it with pardons or some sort of congressional investigation into what happened is just really bogging down time that they could be doing other things with.
01:09:29.000It's a short-sighted victory to say we're pardoned, therefore we are whole because people will not be made whole when they're pardoned.
01:10:05.000But a lot of these people put their hands on the back of cops said good job and they got charged with assault for this You those stories need to be made very public very widely known that that was not assault And this person was charged for that and went to prison for that and lost his entire livelihood for it I agree for multiple reasons First of all, because that is the right thing to do.
01:10:24.000But second of all, it'll actually show people exactly how lawless...
01:10:41.000But that have been, had their lives destroyed, and even if they didn't end up spending a ton of time in jail, if they, you know, they got exonerated or whatever, they still had to go through, there are a lot of people that had to go through the process of dealing with the government, and a lot of times, the process is the punishment.
01:10:57.000And it's, you know, someone that used to work in law enforcement, I think it's bullshit, like, that they wasted this ridiculous amount of resources to go after these guys, for a lot of the times, for misdemeanors, man, for misdemeanors.
01:11:07.000Like, you take an oath, right, to defend a constitution, right, in 1811, especially.
01:11:10.000Like, you're supposed to investigate felonies.
01:11:13.000You're not supposed to sit there and go after misdemeanors.
01:11:15.000And then I also find it interesting how, you know, the George Floyd riots, they didn't do shit!
01:11:19.000They destroyed the city of Minneapolis, they destroyed Seattle, they destroyed Portland, they destroyed all these liberal cities.
01:11:38.000it's absolutely a waste of um resources and this is why the fbi has you know its reputations went into the fucking shitter over the past several uh years because they don't go after the appropriate targets myron wow i strongly agree with you i I think why so many people have an issue condemning so much of what happened on January 6th is that double standard, that they don't see any of these organizations, the FBI, going against any of the stuff we saw during the George Floyd.
01:12:10.000And then the other thing, too, is that I used to come from that world, so I know how costly it is, how much time and resources it takes to prosecute that many people for misdemeanors?
01:12:51.000We need to reform these things, not just throw them away.
01:12:54.000Trump needs to come in quickly and in a very heavy fashion.
01:13:00.000Clean up all of our institutions, begin deportations, and we need investigations from the DOJ to go after these states like Arizona and Maricopa County particularly to figure out what's going on with their ballot machines screwing up.
01:13:13.000If this is done properly and we clean up these systems, we could be good for the rest of our lives.
01:13:35.000People like the liberals just say, so what, the machine was kicking them back in error and they had to run them through again because it wasn't working?
01:13:50.000So there's that video where they're...
01:13:52.000Pulling out boxes of ballots and then opening and running them through.
01:13:55.000And if you watch the full video, you can see them putting the votes there.
01:13:59.000So the full video was them getting ballots from people and then putting them in boxes and closing the boxes and then sliding them into the table.
01:14:05.000And then several hours later, they bring them out to be counted.
01:14:07.000After they kicked everyone else out and told them we couldn't deserve them.
01:14:52.000All of Trump's supporters then share a video easily debunked 10 minutes later by the corporate press who says, see, they lied about everything.
01:15:24.000And then everyone starts speculating, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it turns into, there's a pizza place in D.C., and children are in the basement, which is easily debunked because there's no basement, when the real story was probably...
01:15:36.000Democrats were doing drugs, and the code words they were using was for drugs.
01:15:40.000So you get all of the internet reading leaked emails, leading them down the path of Democrats are doing illegal drugs in D.C., which seems to make the most sense.
01:15:48.000How do you stop them from properly investigating?
01:15:51.000Introduce a crackpot theory which drives them away from the real story and towards some random pizza place that's easily debunked, and then everyone dropped the investigation.
01:16:00.000I think the bottom line is it needs to be investigated.
01:16:02.000There's way too many issues with the 2020 election.
01:16:05.000It needs to be thoroughly investigated.
01:16:19.000Everything ends up getting thrown at the wall, and then you can't pick up anything that's real.
01:16:25.000So, for example, Fox News started running stories about Dominion that eventually ended up being false, and they had to pay out some $100 million defamation suits.
01:16:34.000And then you have Dinesh D'Souza, who comes out with Thousand Mules, and then many years later has to come out with an apology saying that, like, oh, yeah, my data didn't actually prove anything that I was alleging in the film.
01:16:43.000And it just muddies all the water because it's like, yeah, now we're looking for stuff and it's all really made up BS.
01:17:14.000They say, according to the Free Beacon, Young alleged that a segment aired in November 2021, which aired in November of 2021 on the lead, singled him out and portrayed him as an illegal profiteer who operated in a black market.
01:17:27.000Young, who said the segment irreparably destroyed his business, Nemex Enterprises and Reputation, worked to evacuate Afghans during the Biden-Harris administration's deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
01:17:37.000He testified that since that segment ran, he hasn't worked or made money.
01:17:41.000During closing arguments, CNN attorney David Axelrod, that's interesting, claimed that the story was accurate and tough but fair and that Young should have gone out of his way to convince journalists with the outlet that he wasn't shady.
01:17:56.000Mr. Young put himself in the story, not CNN.
01:17:58.000He inserted himself into it to make a buck, Axelrod told the jury, adding, "Use your common sense.
01:18:05.000Do you see a conspiracy or do you see people just doing their best?" So ultimately, CNN lost this.
01:18:17.000I can't believe they actually tried to continually argue after the fact instead of settling when they defamed a guy and destroyed his life and business.
01:18:52.000It's pretty wild that they tried taking this all the way, and I'm wondering if there's going to be precedent set from this in any way, but I feel bad for this guy.
01:18:58.000Could you imagine being like a veteran who's trying to evacuate people because Biden screwed up?
01:19:02.000I wonder if the real reason CNN defamed him is because CNN was trying to run cover for the Biden administration and their botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
01:20:46.000So there's something called the CAP, Criminal Alien Program, that ICE, ERO, Immigration Councils Enforcement Removal Operations, where...
01:20:53.000You know, the field office in these major cities all over the United States, they basically only go after convicted felons or aliens that have been convicted of what's, like, misdemeanors or crimes of mortal interpitude, or two of them.
01:21:05.000So that's what they're going to focus on.
01:21:07.000So people that are just illegally here, they're not going to go after it.
01:21:53.000But the point is, if a representative of the government, like the incoming Secretary of State, is saying those kind of things, there is an appetite for it.
01:22:02.000And also, I reiterate, there is like 70% of the American people that have said they want deportations.
01:23:15.000We have a issue with H-1B visas where we just let these people come in because it's cheap labor and we've not reeled it in and we've not reeled in F-1 visas.
01:23:23.000People literally come here on like, oh, I'm going to learn Spanish and I'm going to go to a language school in America.
01:23:28.000They enroll in the school, they show up, they fly in, and then they never go to school.
01:23:32.000And then they're in the country illegally.
01:23:33.000And that's how a lot of people actually come to the United States is they come in legally and then they overstay or never leave.
01:23:38.000And then another thing too, which I talked about extensively, is like the visa waiver program.
01:23:53.000Like Miami is overrun with Canadians and people from...
01:23:56.000Western Europe just wanting to get a job, right?
01:23:59.000J-1 visas also exploited all the time.
01:24:00.000So we have a massive immigration problem where not only are we getting destroyed in the southwest border, which I could talk about that, but we're also getting destroyed when it comes to the exploitation of our visa system as well.
01:24:15.000You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to immigration at all.
01:24:17.000And that's the problem when we have these individuals come in, right, that don't know anything about Title VIII. They don't know anything about immigration.
01:24:22.000They don't know what's going on in the border.
01:24:23.000They don't understand how our visas are getting exploited.
01:24:26.000They don't know, and they're trying to talk as if they do know, and they don't.
01:24:31.000I mean, I don't think there's a lot of disagreement around this.
01:24:35.000I mean, you guys get it, but, like, I had to, like, you know, we get our verification taken on Twitter for exposing this, and it's like, Vivek and Elon simply don't know.
01:24:43.000Yeah, but you know, that story is not entirely accurate.
01:24:50.000It was like 10 of us that got it taken away for questioning the H-1B stuff.
01:24:53.000So the first thing is it's hard to know exactly if it was H-1B. The one thing I can say is that when it was OG Conservative got their gold checkmark removed, it removed everyone underneath them.
01:25:06.000Do you know why they got their thing removed?
01:25:25.000Actually, I don't know if it was Elon, but someone from X was pointing out that a lot of the accounts that did get suspended that were smaller bot accounts were sharing images of children that were inappropriate.
01:25:35.000Yeah, well, they got their badge back, but what I find interesting is everyone that was critical of the H-1B visa...
01:26:06.000You know what's interesting, though, is I also noticed that a lot of the groups that got their verifications removed have an overlap with constantly talking about Jews.
01:28:51.000If I'm in a jail cell and I say, oh, I have freedom of speech and I am talking to a wall, that technically I have the freedom of speech, but I don't have the freedom of reach, so it doesn't matter, right?
01:28:58.000Freedom of speech only matters if you have the freedom of reach.
01:29:01.000You mentioned the marketplace of ideas.
01:29:02.000To get to the marketplace of ideas, I must reach the marketplace of ideas so that my ideas can even be heard.
01:29:07.000No one has an obligation to advertise you.
01:29:26.000If you're going to go ahead and say this is a free speech app, right?
01:29:30.000And then you're going to turn back and say, oh, well, that doesn't mean freedom of speech, freedom of reach, or modernization, blah, blah, blah.
01:29:37.000Because if you take away someone's ability to earn or someone's ability to reach, you are directly censoring them and their ability to reach the marketplace.
01:29:54.000If you're going to market as a free speech app, and he uses the First Amendment to validify his stance with it being free speech.
01:30:00.000And his speech is protected under the First Amendment under a million different case laws.
01:30:04.000So my thing is, if you're going to use the First Amendment as the basis and say that it is the bedrock of a democracy, then you need to stand by that.
01:30:12.000And that means that you are not going to sit there and, oh, well, I don't believe in censorship.
01:30:35.000I said, and I maintain this position, so long as you are allowed to post the content, people can subscribe to it and they will receive your content.
01:30:44.000That's the extent of free speech on the platform.
01:30:46.000The idea that X should allow you to be boosted, To reach new people or receive money from it, those are services they provide you, they have no obligation to, and that's outside of free speech.
01:30:57.000Well, they just put that rule in recently.
01:31:00.000They literally didn't have that in terms of service.
01:31:02.000They literally just put that in a couple of days ago.
01:31:04.000Elon has no obligation to have you use a payment processing service.
01:31:08.000Tim, you've made the point that not...
01:33:17.000So my point is literally, when you say he marketed it a certain way, I'll say, bro, since he took it over, he refused to reinstate Alex Jones for like a year after he took it over, saying, nope, don't care, he said something I don't like.
01:34:21.000Why should you get access to the labor of the company?
01:34:24.000Because he marketed it that saying it's a free speech app.
01:34:26.000So you're saying I'm holding Elon to his word.
01:34:28.000So a business in this country can never sever a relationship with a client.
01:34:32.000Well, my thing is if you're going to market as a free speech app and then you are going to censor people for the free speech that you promote, that's a problem.
01:34:38.000But they're not silencing your free speech.
01:34:40.000They're taking away a payment processing service.
01:34:42.000And they're also taking away your reach because the verification absolutely affects your ability to reach.
01:34:46.000Your ability to speak is not advertising for you.
01:34:49.000Why do you think a network should be forced to do something for you?
01:36:01.000So in the confines of Elon's moral code, what is misaligned with the rules that have always been placed?
01:36:08.000That's problematic because he interprets what's hate speech now.
01:36:10.000Okay, you're conflating two different things.
01:36:12.000If we're talking about Elon taking over a company and marketing a service with hate speech rules that we all disagree with, you knew what you were buying when you bought it.
01:36:25.000And it's supposed to be free speech and that's where the issue lies where, look, if you're going to market this as a free speech app, that means hate speech as well.
01:36:32.000And then again, like I said before, freedom of speech only matters if you have freedom of reach.
01:36:36.000Are you aware that Elon has never unbanned some accounts?
01:37:39.000You are arguing you are deserving of a service that a private company is selling because you want to be advertised and you are arguing First Amendment protections or at least principles, free speech principles, because you want promotion.
01:38:43.000Should you be legally allowed to use an amplifier for your speech?
01:38:46.000Well, I think if that platform is going to advertise and say, we believe in free speech and use the First Amendment, then it needs to stand by it.
01:38:59.000I think you're personally aggrieved and you want something from a private company.
01:39:02.000I mean, it's not me even having a personal issue with it.
01:39:06.000I don't care because Twitter isn't my main thing.
01:39:08.000But what I'm saying is that it's extremely hypocritical to say, this is a free speech app, model it after the First Amendment, and then go back on that and then take people's checks away for disagreeing with you on H-1B visas.
01:41:01.000If I invited you to my house and, you know, come hang out, say what you want, and you're being rude to my guests or whatever, I'm going to ask you to leave.
01:41:39.000Like, me and Chris Pavlosky, we disagree on so many different things politically, but, like, he will always fight for my right to say it, and that's why I have an enormous amount of respect for him.
01:41:48.000Versus with Elon, I'm like, no, the H-1B is a problem, X, Y, Z. Verification gone.
01:42:12.000You don't consider that freedom of speech.
01:42:14.000Some people say that insults are bad or hate speech.
01:42:18.000I don't agree that hate speech violates the freedom of speech, but I do understand that on a platform like X, as long as you can articulate arguments, I think that they have a very broad...
01:43:02.000So I will say this to the Super Chatters.
01:43:05.000Falsely conflating my position on free speech and trying to apply that to banks is intentionally misconstruing what I'm saying.
01:43:15.000When YouTube started censoring people, there was a question of whether or not you should be recommended or put in the partner program.
01:43:22.000And my position has always been, if they have a monopoly on this platform and they ban you and remove your ability to post videos, That censorship.
01:43:34.000That is a violation of the principle of free speech.
01:43:55.000So the question always becomes about scale.
01:43:58.000If there's a single company that controls everything, Then the government steps in and enshrines the rights of the individual in every capacity.
01:44:05.000If we're dealing with a platform that is not monopolistic, then they do not.
01:44:10.000So for a bank, for instance, Visa and MasterCard having a complete monopoly on the system, they forego rights as a private business and now must act as a public.
01:44:20.000It's like a privately owned public entity, essentially.
01:44:23.000So you can't disable someone's right to use a bank when you are the only bank or the only payment processor.
01:44:30.000Free speech is not the same thing as being required to promote somebody.
01:44:46.000It's the same thing about shadow banning.
01:44:47.000Yeah, but that's precisely what I'm saying is that...
01:44:50.000By them not allowing you to engage in a service that you pay for or by you saying things that they don't like, they are censoring you and that's my issue.
01:45:13.000I think people need to be able to say what they want to say, however they want to say it.
01:45:16.000it not necessarily because I want to say it but because we need to be able to make sure that the freedom of speech stays and this is how they take away your rights.
01:45:24.000They start with well you know maybe just say it in a better way.
01:45:26.000Well you know what maybe not talk about this topic maybe not that and the next thing you know bam your rights are gone and that's my issue with hate speech.
01:45:42.000That people who want to use slurs and say the nastiest, most vile things, like the post from Conservative OG about that Indian guy and they called him some pretty nasty things and mocked his genetics, I'm in favor of them having the right to say that because then I can see it and I know who they are and I say I won't associate with them.
01:46:00.000Like, they need to be able to see it and I think they need to be able to have the reach too because here's the thing.
01:46:03.000If we want to go ahead and have the marketplace of ideas for real and let the best ideas come out there, everyone needs to be able to reach the marketplace.
01:46:10.000When you censor people or you demonetize them or whatever, you're inadvertently creating censorship.
01:46:14.000I know you're saying, well, you don't have a right to earn.
01:46:16.000That's fine, but what you're doing when you do that, when you demonetize someone, is you're effectively using them as the scapegoat.
01:46:22.000Like, look, if you talk like this guy, you are going to lose your monetization.
01:46:25.000I would say most people off that are going to start self-censoring.
01:46:27.000You keep saying marketplace of ideas, but the ideas are not...
01:46:37.000Listen, the anti-war guys, Scott Horton and Dave Smith, they do not have the same kind of limits placed on their stuff, and they are as critical of Israel as anyone else.
01:46:50.000So it's not about the ideas, it's about the delivery.
01:46:52.000Well, if we're going to police delivery, that's problematic.
01:46:55.000That's not the marketplace of ideas, though.
01:47:20.000They only care when the ADL... Media Matters, SPLC, and these left-wing watchdog groups come in and say, are you aware of the fact that your ads are running on XYZ person's content?
01:47:31.000And then they go ahead and pull the advertising.
01:47:32.000Those are the large functions, but there's also just regular leftists who run sock puppet accounts and send like 50 emails to Coke, you know?
01:49:59.000Though I don't agree with them, I will fight tooth and nail for their ability to say what they say because I understand that they're on the front lines of freedom of speech.
01:50:07.000If they take their speech away, I'm next.
01:50:09.000So I need to fight for their ability to say it, regardless of whether I like it or not.
01:52:34.000I never said it but believing in violence.
01:52:36.000Free speech absolutists believe you can speak because speaking is not action.
01:52:40.000And you should be allowed to say whatever you want even if it's encouraging violent crime or directing it because you didn't actually do anything.
01:53:50.000So when I had the debate with Emma Vigeland for Majority Report, I said adults should not bring books with graphic adult images into grade schools.
01:54:16.000Can be broad, but largely refers to explaining ideas in how governance should work and what should or should not be.
01:54:23.000So showing two dudes or two ladies or a guy and a dude in public, I don't consider that within the confines of free speech, and I'd be willing to bet it.
01:54:30.000And I would say most sensible people wouldn't, which is why I didn't feel the need to delineate that for you guys, because we're talking about politics and ideas and culture.
01:54:36.000If you went to the Founding Fathers and said, do you believe free speech includes showing images of adults engaging in adult activities in public, they'd be like, heavens no, we'll arrest you for this.
01:54:46.000I don't think political ideas and the function of society and governance is benefited by displaying images of adult content.
01:55:08.000That conveys no structure, no political opinion.
01:56:57.000Under the First Amendment, hate speech can be banned because actions that can induce harm, such as incitement to violence, we agree aren't free speech.
01:57:07.000Ergo, speech that causes emotional trauma or other deleterious effects or negative effects on a person is harmful.
01:57:17.000Of course, but there's a million cases where hate speech is protected under the First Amendment, even in situations where there have been riots.
01:57:25.000I got to try and read some Super Chats.
01:58:20.000All right, just because I'm free, he says, TikTok conservatives were upset and wanted to ban it.
01:58:25.000Then the culture started shifting conservative.
01:58:28.000TikTok then started showing more conservative posts than Dems want to ban it.
01:58:32.000They tried to play both sides and got burned.
01:58:35.000Interestingly, have you ever noticed that some of the most prominent, actually, I think the most of the most prominent Trump supporters are banned on TikTok?
01:58:45.000Yeah, conservatives are banned on TikTok all the time.
01:58:48.000You're always banned when you try to open the TimCast accounts on TikTok as well?
01:58:51.000TimCast, so when Trump said he wanted to ban it, we were on TikTok, TimCast and TimCast IRL, and we agreed, and then they arbitrarily, with no rule violations, banned us with no recourse.
01:59:05.000Like, I've had, like, ten plus accounts, like, yeah.
01:59:08.000So the accounts, the pro-trip accounts that are allowed to be on are people who are typically not as prominent.
01:59:15.000And the most prominent individuals, many of them, are outright banned for seemingly no reason.
01:59:19.000I think TikTok's aim was to pony up to Trump in some way without giving any power to individual Trump supporters, whereas on X, you've got people who literally have a random avatar, all of a sudden have 2 million followers and make a living, and then end up turning into a real person and being like, wow, I didn't realize I'd get so popular and prominent on this platform.
01:59:58.000I mean, YouTube is maybe, I hope it gets better, but, like, yeah, I mean, we know all the biggest conservative creators on YouTube get censored, right?
02:01:41.000We're gonna do members for- No, no, no, not on Fridays.
02:01:42.000No, but we are, um, uh, I don't know why I never stopped, but we're launching The Green Room.
02:01:49.000ASAP. So the Green Room should be a show where we would record with the guests hanging out in the Green Room and have double the members-only content.
02:01:55.000And then for some reason, it just stopped existing.
02:02:10.000And then I was just like, this is the problem.
02:02:12.000Guys, I got to tell you, it's hard to run a company.
02:02:14.000I'm producing a morning show, a nightly show, I gotta deal with taxes, paperwork, contracts, and then we're supposed to have a, like, yo, when people just stop doing their jobs, and nobody tells you, and the manager doesn't tell you, and then one day I'm like, oh, what was the, like, I'm going through the site, like, we gotta get this stuff arranged, because I'm negotiating with these companies, and it's like, oh, we haven't done a green room in, like, six months, and I was like, huh?
02:03:42.000But my friends, if you want to support us, you can become a member at TimCast.com, and we're going to reignite that Green Room show, which I actually thought was the better of the shows.
02:03:51.000That's why I was pissed when I found out they weren't making it.
02:04:33.000Myron, do you want to shout anything out?
02:04:34.000Yeah, guys, check me out Fresh and Fit on YouTube and then also MyronGainesX where I do my political commentary Monday through Friday at 5 p.m.
02:05:01.000I'm worried about the protesters because we're planning on being down for the inauguration, but we have no choice but to get a bunch of security.
02:05:07.000So I'd say I'd join you, but I don't know if I can.
