00:02:36.000Thank you for letting me be on tonight, Tim.
00:03:01.000And my team defeated him with $54,000 in a grassroots activist campaign.
00:03:06.000And it's been getting a lot of media buzz nationwide to show people that you can beat the establishment with good old grassroots campaigning, and that while money, you need a little bit of money to campaign, it's not always the guy with the most money wins.
00:03:24.000I am the host and lead researcher for the Lore Lodge YouTube channel, where we talk about strange history, unsolved mysteries, and weird disappearances.
00:04:02.000My favorite was our good friend, the Krasensteins, our good friends, the Krasensteins, where they posted this video where it shows Biden smiling and waving, and then it cuts to a wide shot as Biden freezes up for about seven or so seconds, seven or eight seconds, he freezes, but this wide shot they post, you can't see anything.
00:04:19.000So actually we have this clip that was posted by Chris Gardner from, I believe this is the Hollywood Reporter.
00:04:24.000So this is, this is corporate press right here.
00:05:16.000If it was Joe Rogan, who was standing on stage and smiling and just staring off, and Dave Smith grabbed his arm, gave him a tug, and then Joe turned, it was like, oh, and they walked off together, I wouldn't think anything of it.
00:05:28.000But Joe Biden's had in the past week so many of these videos coming out that the real issue is, this is how I described it earlier today.
00:05:37.000If your friend is walking, you know, you're like, let's say you're walking to go get a slice of pizza and he stumbles a little, he trips on his, you know, stumbles and you're like, whoa, are you all right?
00:05:47.000You're like, bro, are you something wrong?
00:05:49.000Then, you start to notice that over the next couple of weeks, he seems to be tripping and stumbling a lot and having a hard time standing up.
00:05:55.000You might be like, hey man, I think something's wrong.
00:06:10.000I mean, when the press was describing it, they were saying, you know, he had to get let off stage, the hand on the back motion, but I actually think the arm tug is the worst part.
00:06:18.000The arm tug is a former president leading our current president off the stage.
00:06:24.000The fact that somebody else has to be like, you're supposed to walk away now.
00:06:28.000And Corinne Jean-Pierre was asked about this during a press gaggle today, and she was like, Well, you guys are making a big deal out of nothing and they're old friends, you know?
00:07:08.000Way too much of Congress, the Senate, are a bunch of old people.
00:07:12.000But I will give the caveat, while I certainly would prefer a much younger candidate, that's why I like Vivek, for instance, you can't, like, look, Joe Biden's, what is he, 81?
00:09:58.000Like, it's a huge difference, you know?
00:09:59.000And like, I, again, maybe this was a formatting choice to make him seem with it, cool, who knows?
00:10:05.000But it just really did not convey a sense of strength or leadership.
00:10:10.000Like, do you remember, there was a video of, I think it's from the G7 Summit, it's from an international meeting with, you know, you've got like, I don't know, man.
00:11:00.000Yeah, and for the administration to say this is cheap fakes and we just need to be dismissive of this, this is a one-time thing, it's not.
00:11:06.000It's happened three or four times within a week.
00:11:08.000Normandy, the fundraiser, and it's happened several times now.
00:11:14.000Didn't he, wasn't it pretty, in the last couple weeks he was giving that press briefing and then he got asked a question as he was exiting the room and he like turned back just smiled kind of weird. That was when they asked if he
00:11:23.000was responsible for Trump going to prison.
00:11:25.000Yes. For Trump's guilty conviction at prison. And then he just like,
00:11:28.000and everyone's like, okay, this dude is like, either he's evil. And he was turning and giving
00:11:37.000that smile like, yes, it's me, or his brain doesn't work.
00:11:41.000And he's just like, and he doesn't It's not good.
00:11:45.000I think this is the leadership of our country right now.
00:11:48.000I mean, we're talking about a guy when you ask him, well, what do you think about the issue at the southern border?
00:11:51.000And his response is he likes vanilla ice cream.
00:12:52.000The Prime Minister of Italy went to go get him, like, not good!
00:12:55.000Thank you for that, I guess, Italy, but rough all around.
00:12:59.000I honestly, I kind of wonder how much people really do care at this point because I kind of just feel like there's no country.
00:13:05.000You know, I hate to say it because it sounds, I don't know if it's blackpilled or whatever, but how many times can you point out that the President's brain doesn't work?
00:13:12.000Many people have been saying for years he's a puppet, weakened at Bernie's president, and I'm like, if that's the case, and Trump's being charged with crimes that don't exist, and we got this one video, this one story, a J6er has been in pretrial detention for 1,200 days.
00:13:30.000I'm like, I don't think we have a functioning country at all.
00:14:19.000Like they have successfully tried to steer the ship in such a fear-mongering path that it's actually, it doesn't matter who's president because it just can't be Trump.
00:14:55.000Ironically, several recent fakes actually attacked the president for thanking troops—for thanking troops.
00:15:02.000That is what they're attacking the president for.
00:15:04.000Both in Normandy this happened, and again in Italy.
00:15:08.000And I think that it tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate—how desperate Republicans are here.
00:15:17.000And instead of talking about the president's performance in office—and what I mean by that is his legislative wins, what he's been able to do for the American people across the country—we're seeing these deepfakes, these manipulated videos.
00:16:08.000What this, like what goes through a person like Karine Jean-Pierre's head, when she steps out there and just lies through her teeth, then accuses everyone else of lying.
00:16:51.000I'm sorry, that actually says to me that I think it's probably more likely to be true that Biden pooped his pants and he's seen Alan wandering off, because they're calling them deepfakes.
00:17:02.000You know, the bigger the story, the bigger lie.
00:17:10.000It was a clip, like, with the NBC News banner going around the bottom.
00:17:15.000It's with, you know, whatever CNN logo.
00:17:17.000Like, unless you're saying someone I watched one on an MSNBC morning show.
00:17:24.000So unless you're telling me somebody let the MSNBC morning shows watch a fake version of this, I think you are just lying to yourselves.
00:17:30.000I think you are lying through your teeth and hoping that your narrative is the one that ultimately is promoted by the press, which who, by the way, also shared these videos of Biden speaking in this raspy, slurred voice, looking lost.
00:19:08.000Well, when Trump was president the first time around, he was actually withdrawing our troops and trying to bring peace.
00:19:13.000Whether he was successful or not, some people have opinions about the Abraham Accords, like Dave Smith, and I disagree on that, but he was bringing peace.
00:19:20.000Crossing the demilitarized zone into North Korea was one of the most significant moves made by a U.S.
00:19:26.000president in my lifetime, maybe even in history.
00:19:28.000I know there's no Korean War 200 years ago, but a president walking into enemy territory and shaking the hands with the enemy leader trying to get a peace agreement is massive.
00:20:13.000And I always gotta stress this, because immediately Libertarians come out and they go, he is not for mandates.
00:20:17.000He does not believe the government should be allowed to... Almost all of the vaccine mandates were private.
00:20:22.000Were private businesses that were saying, we've hereby just arbitrarily decided, out of our 100,000 employees, we're gonna force them to undergo medical treatment or they get fired.
00:20:37.000But I don't know how you could not vote for Trump.
00:20:41.000I personally really liked the discussion that was going around.
00:20:43.000It was being led by the Mises caucus of basically taking the Libertarian Party and saying, hey, you want our three to five percent of the vote that you never get?
00:21:13.000Did you ever think of yourself as a libertarian?
00:21:15.000I mean I have a lot of libertarian leaning policies.
00:21:17.000I worked with the Tea Party movement for many years and that stems from libertarianism in a way.
00:21:22.000Ron Paul, Rand Paul were big champions of the Tea Party movement and that's how I got my start helping people like them and Alex Mooney and Mike Lee and others get elected.
00:21:32.000And I do have a lot of libertarian views.
00:21:33.000I want government out of my life and out of the way.
00:21:36.000And you know, like West Virginia, you know, you think of coal country, right?
00:21:40.000That's government interference that took a very prosperous state and turned it into one of the least economically ranked states in the country.
00:21:46.000We're at the bottom of every measure you could think of now because of that government interference.
00:21:50.000So yeah, a lot of West Virginians fighting back against that are libertarian in nature.
00:22:03.000Dude, we were at 13 in the polls with Johnson at one point, and then he made the best foreign policy claim of all time, and everybody said, well, absolutely not.
00:22:12.000That was actually a good point you made before the show, what is Aleppo?
00:22:15.000And, you know, you were like, that's actually the correct position.
00:22:20.000Like, you know, I was always saying that if If it were Trump and he was asked about something he didn't know, he would just patter like a boss.
00:22:30.000He'd be like, Aleppo, I know a lot of people are concerned about it, but we're going to talk about jobs.
00:22:46.000The president's supposed to be in charge of foreign policy.
00:22:49.000But it's funny when you think about it.
00:22:51.000We'd be better for the president who didn't know what was going on at all, because it would imply we ain't doing anything there.
00:22:56.000Instead, we get a president who's like, let's secretly put troops.
00:23:00.000Barack Obama, when did we declare war on Syria?
00:23:04.000Does anybody remember when the declaration happened and the troops were ordered to Syria?
00:23:08.000Obama woke up one day and said to himself, I think I should send troops there, and he said to himself, that's a great idea, sir, and that's what happened.
00:23:19.000He's in office and it was so much fun.
00:23:22.000When he comes out, that famous moment in front of the helicopter, and he's like, we're selling weapons to the Saudis, it's fantastic, it'll be great for our economy, and all of the anti-war leftists were just like, Oh my God.
00:24:20.000Like, I don't necessarily believe in Bigfoot, but, like, I'm open to it.
00:24:23.000But, you know, that was, seeing that, like, the way the government handled the alien thing was so different from how they've handled every actual disclosure of anything ever.
00:24:33.000They were like, oh, yeah, everybody, come on, media, everybody come here.
00:25:36.000Anybody who plays Fallout 76 knows all about all the West Virginia Cryptids because they're all in the game.
00:25:41.000But these are all actually based on actual monsters, which I have no idea why West Virginia has so many, but it has a lot.
00:25:48.000Can you answer this for us as a native?
00:25:51.000No, I'm not really sure, but you know, this is just something you grow up with, these folklore stories, and it's just, you know, the older generations just love telling stories, and I guess, I wouldn't assume a lot of them are based off similar characters, that just, it's kind of like a thing you whisper in the ear, and it spreads across the classroom when you're a kid, and it changes by the time it gets to the end.
00:26:06.000I think it's how a lot of these characters were created, is from storytelling and stuff.
00:26:55.000You get more fun when you live out in the middle of nowhere.
00:26:57.000I wouldn't be surprised if it's also part of the Irish, the Scotch-Irish heritage here because a lot of that culture has sort of a mythical creature element and especially the folklore telling.
00:27:08.000You know, parables or all these stories are often used to teach people lessons and so there's a level of like crossover culture.
00:27:13.000You have a community that's like we got to be able to reference something and also we believe that in these, you know, these other things.
00:27:19.000It's an interesting potential consequence of regional immigration.
00:27:26.000That's the whole fairies and elves thing that they're doing.
00:27:29.000That's because there is this wide classification of that in entirely continental folklore, but that's one of the cool things, what you were saying, the Irish and Scots stuff.
00:27:36.000They brought all their fairies over, and because of the way their culture was set up with the clans and the tribes, they actually felt a close connection to a lot of the Native American tribes they ran into out here.
00:27:47.000So they would intermarry a lot, they would trade, and what happened in a lot of cases was you got these stories where you'd have the fairy stories from the Irish and the Scots, and then you'd have these stories of things like the Wendigo and the Tulkaloo and stuff like that, that the Cherokee and the Algonquin had, and these things then morph and turn into even more things.
00:28:06.000And then as you get the communities going out, they come up with all sorts of different crazy stuff.
00:28:09.000See, this is the thing that I think is so important about regional culture in America.
00:28:12.000Like, you would need to be here from here and grow up with this to really be able to appreciate it.
00:28:16.000And if we just create this, like, homogenous online culture where everyone just moves from one big city to the other, like, you will lose this stuff.
00:28:25.000You know, like, Cherokee is a predominant part of West Virginia culture as well, because every one of us are like, you know, I'm sixth generation West Virginian.
00:28:31.000If you have been here that amount of time or longer, there's a chance you have Cherokee blood in you as well, as along with, like, you know, Scottish American or Irish or something like that.
00:29:26.000Senate Armed Service Committee version of the NDAA for fiscal year 2025 would automatically register women for the draft.
00:29:32.000Heck, they don't even got to do it, they're forced to do it.
00:29:35.000The committee approved the bill with a vote of 22 to 3.
00:29:37.000The Strengthening the Joint Force and Defense Workforce section of the NDAA says the Military Selective Service Act would be amended to require the registration of women for selective service.
00:29:48.000Since 1917, when the Selective Service was created, all men ages 18 to 25 I've been required to register.
00:29:54.000However, there has not been a draft since the Vietnam War.
00:29:57.000Must Read Alaska reports in 2017 Congress created a commission to study the matter of adding women to the draft.
00:30:02.000The commission's final report required by the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act recommended that women be drafted.
00:30:08.000This is a necessary and fair step, making it possible to draw on the talent of a unified nation in a time of national emergency, the 11 commissioners wrote in their final report.
00:30:17.000The effort has failed in previous years, versions of the NDA, but this year it looks like it may pass.
00:30:23.000Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, a Democrat, has been one of the biggest advocates of adding women to the Selective Service.
00:31:14.000I think women going to combat would be a terrible idea.
00:31:17.000And I think there, you know, potentially, yeah, in wartime, maybe you need more bodies to do sort of administrative stuff at home.
00:31:23.000But generally, I think drafts are for boys.
00:31:27.000And I think it's a bad idea to mix women in because they'll just end up competing for the right to be in combat.
00:31:31.000And that's a bad idea because it risks everyone's life.
00:31:33.000Telling women that they have to, like, machine parts for tools does not mean the debate—like, I don't like these arguments where people say, if X, then you are guaranteed to get women in combat.
00:31:50.000When we say women should be required to engage in some kind of civic service in the time of national emergency, whether you want to have a debate over combat is still an entirely separate conversation.
00:32:02.000If women want the right to vote, then they are going to war.
00:32:05.000And that means making guns in factories.
00:32:08.000That means driving transport vehicles, transporting domestically, maybe delivering cargo.
00:32:17.000Men can go and fight, and women can drive trucks transporting weapons and munitions to military bases domestically.
00:32:23.000I'd be happy to do all of that, and I'd be happy to draft women to do it, but I don't think it should be the military, because I don't think afterwards they should be able to qualify for the GI benefits.
00:32:30.000Like, if you went to war, if you have seen combat, I think you should be treated differently than someone that we intentionally said, you have to do it, but you get to stay in a factory.
00:32:38.000Like, that's a totally different thing.
00:32:39.000I'm happy to set up, like, a civic service corps for women that they have to be drafted into, but I don't think that they should be in the military, because again, the military comes with benefits.
00:32:46.000There's also a lot of just inherent danger to women beyond what is dangerous to men in the military, the kinds of things that they have to deal with as threats.
00:32:55.000I mean, there's certain types of assault that men typically are not subject to.
00:32:59.000There are, you know, the fact that people might go out of their way a little bit more to save a woman than a man.
00:33:04.000There's a number of reasons that this could be risky.
00:33:06.000I actually really like the idea of a civil service corps.
00:33:09.000Going back to Starship Troopers, you know, everybody memes on the movie, but the book is serious.
00:33:14.000And I think that the idea of citizenship, you know, and services is a good point.
00:33:17.000That said, I do worry that if we have a draft for women, part of the reason we were so successful in World War II is that women were able to fill the roles that men typically had back home while the men were overfighting.
00:33:28.000And I would worry that if we drafted them directly into the military, we wouldn't have the workforce we need.
00:33:34.000I'm gonna give a shout out to Josie, the Red Hood Libertarian, who said, here are the names of the sluts for war who want to conscript your daughters for World War III because they know your sons won't be enough to satisfy their bloodlust.
00:34:01.000Now, that being said, if you want to negotiate rights and privileges and how civic duty operates, then we can have that conversation.
00:34:11.000I reject Mazie Hirono and Kirsten Gillibrand and Jeanne Shaheen, whom I'm assuming is a woman.
00:34:20.000They have no right to vote for war if they're not subject to it.
00:34:25.000So my position is, so long as we have a 19th Amendment and we have female politicians who can vote on when I have to die, I say, so do they.
00:34:35.000Now, unfortunately, and let's be real, All of the members of Congress are too old to be drafted.
00:34:43.000So even the men are voting for young men to go and die for them.
00:34:49.000And I love that back in the early 1900s, there was like an attempted amendment that said, if you vote in favor of war, you volunteer for it automatically.
00:35:12.000Hell, in the medieval period, bishops led armies.
00:35:14.000And these guys are sitting back in DC in a nice air-conditioned office while there's a bunch of guys my age and younger getting shot at in the Middle East, in the desert.
00:35:24.000I like the idea of forcing them to go.
00:35:25.000When was the last time Congress voted on war though?
00:35:27.000Like that becomes, if you have that amendment, it's not that we shouldn't, I would be interested in it, but theoretically they're all just gonna be like, okay, we'll never vote for war again.
00:35:36.000Obama, send us in, don't say anything.
00:35:41.000Right now the funny thing is you have Republicans arguing, oh this is so annoying, when the suffrage movement happened there was a massive movement against it because women did not want civic responsibility like fire brigade and military service.
00:35:58.000And so the compromise was spineless, weak men decided to grant privileges to women and push men into a second-class citizen status where they have to fight and die for people who can vote for them to go fight and die.
00:36:11.000I don't care if you're a man or woman.
00:36:12.000I don't care if it's based on gender lines or any other lines.
00:36:15.000The idea that one group of people gets to vote for the other group to go fight and die, I think is wrong.
00:36:19.000And so whether it's the rich and the poor or men and women, I reject that.
00:36:23.000And this is the problem we've always had, first in the country, is that the poor people are used as cannon fodder.
00:36:27.000Rich people, if their kids got drafted, they would pay to get someone else to go do it.
00:36:56.000Men used to choose to go fight wars on behalf of the women they cared about, their children, their families.
00:37:02.000Now you've got crackpot psychopath Just sociopath individuals in Congress, and men and women alike, voting to send people to go die for what?
00:37:19.000So what's pissing me off right now is Republicans being like, we will not allow our daughters to be drafted, but they will get all of the rights, they will get all of the privileges, and they have no responsibility.
00:37:34.000Right now, it's gonna be really weird, too, because a bunch of, like, Gen Z women are probably gonna be on the Republican side on this one.
00:37:42.000Well, you see all the memes that come up where it's like, you know...
00:37:45.000Women cry to be in draft and women and they're all it's like feminists and they're all making sandwiches or whatever like I don't think women always think through the things that they're asking for in terms of legislation.
00:37:55.000I think that this idea that they you know they already have the option to go into the military.
00:38:02.000They already have the option to try and be a part of civil service.
00:38:05.000Mostly what's happening is they're saying well we want to be allowed to but we don't actually feel any obligation to contribute to these communities.
00:38:11.000There was a poll done a couple years ago in 2021 that found the majority of Democrats and 18 to 39 year olds were in favor of women being drafted.
00:38:21.000So this may be a hot take, but I just don't think there should be any draft at all.
00:38:27.000Ever, unless it's like we're being attacked.
00:38:30.000I'm sorry, but if if we need to go over there, we don't we don't we never need to go over there.
00:38:49.000If we have that, I don't see any reason to have a draft.
00:38:51.000If we get attacked, if Russia or China come here, sure, but... That's why we need a draft.
00:38:55.000So the issue of whether we need a draft is...
00:38:58.000Unrelated to the fact that we have corrupt government officials that would exploit a draft to go send people to die so they could, I don't know, build more weapons and secure oil so they can expand their businesses or something like that.
00:39:08.000We should be focusing on securing our borders, bringing jobs back here, having strong community, building families instead.
00:39:57.000You cannot have social services and open borders.
00:40:00.000You cannot tell people you can come here and get free stuff and the people who were born here, who have paid the taxes their whole lives and their family did, will now not have access to the housing market.
00:40:11.000There has to be balance in your responsibility and the rights and privileges you have access to.
00:40:16.000I think part of it is that people look at men and women as interchangeable.
00:40:19.000They're like a body to body, just put it in uniform and it's the same thing.
00:40:23.000So I would imagine that these Democrats are looking at the numbers.
00:40:28.000I'm willing to bet that when they look at combat numbers and women, female infantry, I would bet a large sum of money that a strategist comes in and says, when you get a group of men, you will see... If we've got 30 enemy combatants in this area, you will need X amount of men with this machinery to effectively control and pacify that area.
00:40:58.000With women, you're going to need x cubed or something.
00:41:02.000You're going to need x times x. You will need substantially more women.
00:41:08.000The efficiency of female units of comparable numbers will be minus 30%.
00:41:13.000And the response from Democrats is, so we need more women then.
00:42:01.000But I think a lot of... If you came in and you were like, hey, let's just get rid of it entirely, or let's restrict it to we have to be under attack here at home, I think you'd get all the Gen Z men too.
00:42:08.000Gen Z male feminists being like, but I'm fighting for your right to be drafted!
00:43:29.000Now they're saying, if you're a trans woman, you're still male and you're still required to be signed up for the draft.
00:43:35.000Yeah, and it's funny, and they said if you are a female who is transgender and you are a trans man, you are still ineligible for the draft.
00:45:07.000If this passes, I'm telling you right now, the next president is going to matter even more so with Russia and Cuba again.
00:45:13.000With everything that's been destabilized around the world with the weak leadership in this Oval Office and actually part of the Uniparty that's warmongers to begin with.
00:45:21.000This is going to matter to women of military age at that point.
00:45:24.000This is going to matter to women who want to get married, want to settle down, become a mother, who are now potentially going to have that ripped away from them from a unit party who wants to go to war for profit.
00:45:33.000And this is going to be a huge red wave for Trump in November to undo this.
00:45:37.000This is exactly what's going to happen.
00:45:39.000If this passes, Trump wins by instead of winning, he'll win the popular vote.
00:45:43.000Not only will he win the Electoral College, he'll win the popular vote by several million votes if this passes because Gen Z women are willing to go to college, are willing to get married, are willing to become mothers.
00:46:20.000I think the other problem, though, is like, we're gonna draft basically anyone who has a potential to save our declining fertility rate, right?
00:46:27.000Like, we're gonna be like, we could grow the population, but we could also blow them up.
00:46:41.000Are we or are we not biologically different?
00:46:43.000This is going to force that narrative.
00:46:45.000The feminists that have been trying to carve out women's rights for all these years are now being faced by being cancelled as women.
00:46:52.000Whether it be sports or now being forced into the military, this is going to force the argument, are we biologically different?
00:46:58.000Not far as rights, but far as biology.
00:47:00.000And this is going to force that fight.
00:47:01.000This is going to force them to answer, because he just said that they're already saying, if you're born a dude, sorry, you can't identify as a woman in the military, you're still a dude.
00:47:08.000So, I mean, it's already forcing that narrative to come to light.
00:47:11.000And at the end of the day, I think common sense is going to prevail, and it's going to be a red wave for Trump.
00:47:15.000And I think we're winning our friend over over here, because I'm sorry.
00:47:19.000When you make it about whether I live or die, yeah, I get it.
00:47:29.000So the way it would work is they're going to go for the 18-year-olds, and it's going to be, I think how they do it is like a lottery.
00:47:34.000They'll go by social security number and pull random numbers, and then they go up in age by requirement.
00:47:41.000So getting to 26 would be really crazy.
00:47:44.000I mean, if World War III happened, Okay, but here's the good news.
00:47:49.000If you turn 27, and Biden is still president, oh, dude, line up.
00:47:55.00027's not far off from the rest of them.
00:47:56.000So if they go through the standard batch, and I got bad news for you, fertility rates are down, so there's not nearly as many Gen Z available as there were, say, Millennials or Boomers or Gen X. And we're hilariously out of shape.
00:48:06.000Oh, yeah, yeah, but that doesn't matter.
00:48:07.000They're gonna be like, dude, let me tell you, it was really amazing, the story of the The fall of the samurai in Japan, are you familiar with it?
00:48:26.000You're born, you are trained, you're a fighter.
00:48:30.000It's really difficult for someone to be a master fighter until they invented reloadable cartridges or rifles that can be reloaded rapidly with the cartridge.
00:48:39.000And so they show up, Western groups come to East Asia and say, who cares about these guys?
00:49:04.000It's like the gulag for you, solitary confinement, or point this over there.
00:49:09.000I think the main reason they don't want to use the draft though, Vietnam proved a disaster.
00:49:14.000The stories of like young men landing on the shores and firing into the air instead of at the enemy because they didn't know what they were.
00:49:23.000Some people went there and they were a little like too far and there were a lot of good dudes who knew what they were doing and wanted to be there.
00:49:29.000That's why they need voluntary service.
00:49:31.000There's an interesting thing about coercing someone to make the choice still puts in their mind they've made this choice, but you've got to do it in the right way.
00:49:41.000Forcing someone to the draft and saying you have no choice makes them hate where they are, causes panic.
00:49:48.000government likes to do is, using the Federal Reserve, controlling interest rates to spike the economy if they need to increase troop levels.
00:49:56.000So when the economy gets bad, young people join up because they need money and they're desperate.
00:50:14.000I also think people don't really – like there is a lot of anti-military sentiment in the U.S.
00:50:19.000I think there's a level of like at one point in America's history if you had been like wanting money or this opportunity like there's something honorable about being in the military whereas now people feel like this is just something you do to be the world's police first and a lot of people hate the police already.
00:50:49.000And I had the Lore Lodge thing going, but it wasn't huge yet.
00:50:56.000I could have gone back, and I looked around, and I was like, I want so badly To do what my ancestors did, to serve this country, to be there for my fellow man, but they're gonna send me to die in a desert.
00:51:09.000Or they're gonna send me to die in a tundra, and it's gonna be far away from home, you know, my family will never know what happened, and what's the point?
00:51:16.000Like, no, if we get invaded, I'll sign up.
00:51:19.000But, you know, I gotta be honest, I made that point a while ago, like, the draft makes a lot of sense when the implication was defending this country.
00:51:29.000You would go to the young men and say, look, they're attacking us, you do this or we all die.
00:51:35.000I don't know if I agree right now with Defending some of these crackpot far-left places that abuse kids and have brought in non-citizens and are releasing criminals.
00:51:44.000It's like, if New York got invaded, I'd be like, wow, that sucks.
00:51:48.000I mean, look, if we can get a foothold in the executive branch through Trump or someone who can deal with the corruption, send in federal investigators to New York to weed out the crime bosses that are running their government, I would be Thrilled.
00:52:07.000I do not think national divorce is a good thing.
00:52:10.000I do not think that peaceful national divorce is possible.
00:52:14.000So we must avoid that in every way imaginable and resist.
00:52:18.000And there are tons of people advocating for it, and I'm like, that ends in civil war.
00:52:22.000So I'm curious what you guys think about this, because this is an idea I've been puttering around with for like 10 years.
00:52:27.000Instead of a national divorce, we were taught about federalism as layer cake federalism, that there are layers of government.
00:52:32.000You have your local, you have your state, you have your federal.
00:52:35.000What I was wondering is, you know, what do you guys think about the idea of adding another layer?
00:52:38.000Taking regions that are culturally similar to one another, like the Appalachians, go from Pennsylvania on down to maybe Tennessee, and then you could also do Cascadia, you could do the Rockies states, and these groups of people who are culturally rather similar would be able to have the laws that make sense for their cultural groups, and then the federal government would just be responsible for, like, the interstate, war, and diplomacy.
00:54:15.000I think divisions are, are really serious, and I like your idea of regional alliance ship on some level.
00:54:22.000I think regional management and culturally more homogenous coalitions would be good.
00:54:28.000I just think that at this point, rather than adding a layer of government, why don't we see that within our elected leaders that we have already?
00:54:35.000What kind of partnerships do you see between regions right now?
00:54:39.000Because potentially they could sort of make this happen on their own.
00:54:42.000You could have coalitions in the House.
00:54:44.000You could have governors who have a specific regional conference they attend.
00:54:51.000The idea in my mind is that it would hopefully defeat the two-party system.
00:54:56.000That you would get to a point where because Republicans in, you know, let's say the Republic of Appalachia, because those Republicans aren't gonna have the same priorities as Republicans in the Midwest.
00:55:09.000It's not- the Republican party is gonna have a much more difficult time.
00:55:12.000Because you've made everything a lot more personal, a lot more local.
00:55:15.000For example, you know, you guys have coal, right?
00:55:38.000Those are the things that matter to us, but Pennsylvania can't make any movement on fracking, on transitioning to fourth-generation nuclear, on fixing our rail system, which is the most robust in the country, if we could just modernize it.
00:55:51.000We can't do any of that because the government's like, sorry, people in California decided you can't frack.
00:55:57.000This is the problem with globalization.
00:55:59.000The idea that a singular entity can rule over every region uniformly doesn't make sense.
00:56:04.000California gets a disproportionate amount of votes because of illegal immigrants in the first place, but then they get extra congressional seats.
00:56:12.000Then they say, the people of California don't like nuclear energy, so Nebraska can't have it.
00:56:16.000And it's like, why is New York, Illinois, and California, and Oregon, I guess, and Washington voting that large, sparsely populated states can't have a nuclear reactor?
00:56:27.000I mean, I'm not saying they literally can't, I'm just saying that's the general idea.
00:56:31.000If you're in Wyoming, the population there is, what, like 500-something thousand?
00:56:35.000They barely have a congressional seat as it is.
00:56:37.000You've got tons of empty space where you can do a bunch of awesome stuff, but they ban these things.
00:56:41.000And, right, like fracking and stuff, they pass these laws controlling all of it, but they don't even live in these places.
00:56:46.000It should be left to the states, but the federal government keeps... This is the problem with large federal government.
00:56:51.000And with fracking specifically, like, that's such a local problem.
00:56:54.000Like, if a community says, alright, we're gonna take the risk, we're gonna try and make sure we have all the safety in place, and we wanna frack here, there is no reason that people in Shale Country PA need to listen to what people in Los Angeles think about that.
00:57:06.000The people in Los Angeles will never be affected by somebody fracking in Carbon County, Pennsylvania.
00:57:38.000You won't see it in any of the retail restaurants like at Permanee's, but some of your mom-and-pops, you can get in some of the smaller towns.
00:58:16.000I was down in San Antonio last week for Unsubscribe Podcast, and they had some cheesesteaks on the menu, and I was like, I'm not going anywhere near this.
00:58:22.000That's how I feel about pizza outside of the Northeast.
00:58:24.000Yeah, I don't any outside of 50 miles of Pennsylvania unless it's like the person running it grew up in South Philly.
00:58:42.000Yes, being from Chicago, we have, and I'm respecting New York over here and you guys can't handle it, I would just call Chicago pizza different.
00:58:52.000However, deep dish pizza is not real Chicago pizza, that's a lie, and you guys have not ever had real Chicago style pizza, which is a firmer, medium, it's not a thin crust, it's thicker, it's not floppy.
00:59:45.000I mean, this is I've talked about this before, but the Domino's and Pizza Hut spread throughout the middle part of America because the immigrants weren't there making traditional pizza.
00:59:54.000I can't I can imagine that in, you know, Michigan, they do a lot of other nice stuff, but this is not one of their elements.
00:59:59.000It reminds me, though, like the stereotyping of deep dish pizza as the only type of pizza of the pepperoni roll in West Virginia, because you're like, what is the food of West Virginia?
01:00:31.000It was so weird for me when I went to New York for the first time, and I tried ordering a roast beef sandwich with giardiniera, and the guy said, with what?
01:00:38.000And I said, can I get a roast beef sub with giardiniera?
01:01:03.000I just didn't know it's what it was called.
01:01:04.000If you go to Potbelly's, they call it hot peppers because nobody knows what it is.
01:01:07.000How about we go back to talking about the news?
01:01:09.000Here's a story from the post-millennial.
01:01:12.000A Canadian study worries about under-anticipated U.S.
01:01:15.000civil war, ignores growing resentment at home.
01:01:18.000The potential for civil war is mentioned in the list of eight under-anticipated disruptions that decision-makers may need to consider more thoroughly than the survey results indicate.
01:01:27.000Ladies and gentlemen, foreign countries—okay, fine, it's Canada, so, you know, take it for what it is—are concerned about a U.S.
01:01:37.000If you dig deep into the subterranean internet files of the Canadian government, you might find a link to Policy Horizons Canada, a group that you might surmise is attached to Global Affairs Canada, but no, it is affiliated with the Federal Public Service.
01:01:48.000I'm going to wag my finger at David in the Postmillennial for writing a narrative story.
01:01:53.000The posting of a recent study titled Disruptions on the Horizon might have been missed by the public had an article not been posted to Politico declaring Canada's big worry a U.S.
01:02:48.000No, I'm saying whoever wrote this must watch it.
01:02:50.000Sure, but Post Millennial is saying it's under-anticipated.
01:02:54.000I don't think it's true here on Timcast.
01:02:56.000You know, so I just want to point this out.
01:02:57.000Considering everyone says that I'm the guy who's always talking about civil war, that means anyone else who ever talks about it is a fan of the show.
01:03:08.000So, considering Canada has this concern, they're going to say, how seriously should people take this on the other side of the 49th parallel?
01:03:15.000Policy Horizon's report surveyed hundreds of experts and government officials about disruptive events that Canada might do well to prepare for.
01:03:21.000Then the authors classed those scenarios based on the likelihood they will occur.
01:03:24.000American Civil War ranked as an improbable but ultra-high impact event.
01:03:30.000Other scenarios in that general category included the proliferation of homemade biological weapons, the rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens leading to mass death and food shortages, and the outbreak of World War III.
01:03:41.000You know, I suppose when you add them all together, it's looking like you got a really good probability of bad thing happening.
01:03:49.000So take your pick, and I hope you all are prepared.
01:03:52.000I think it's weird that progressive governments and progressive political parties have to fearmonger their voters into supporting them.
01:03:59.000I think that's what I see over and over again.
01:04:01.000I was thinking about that with some of the speeches I was listening to from Biden or, you know, on the campaign trail.
01:04:05.000And it's always just, you have to vote for us because everything's about to fall apart and we are the only ones who can fix it.
01:04:34.000You know, hyperinflation, destabilization of the world, entering World War III with, you know, Russia and Cuba with their naval fleet now.
01:04:40.000There's nothing he can tout that he did other than destabilize the world and cause inflation and, you know, cause a lot of people to leave the workforce because they couldn't even afford to live anymore.
01:04:49.000And you know, they paid him to stay home, they paid him not to work, and then they can't afford to go back to work anymore.
01:04:54.000It's just sad to see all this going on.
01:04:56.000And he can't do anything but say, vote for me because the other guy's the boogeyman.
01:05:08.000It makes you wonder, when Trump is no longer eligible to run for office, if he serves a term and runs out of terms, what will they talk about?
01:06:19.000But what they didn't see was, say, like, Texas v. Pennsylvania.
01:06:22.000I believe it was 48 states involved in a lawsuit to the Supreme Court over unconstitutional actions taken by Pennsylvania and several other states that went for Joe Biden.
01:06:33.000Notably, that they changed their election rules outside of the legislative body, which violates the Constitution as to how elections are held.
01:06:41.000The Supreme Court refused to acknowledge it.
01:06:52.000These people didn't actually plan for anything beyond walking in a building, and I don't think they even planned... I don't think they planned for walking in a building at all.
01:07:07.000I don't see, this time around, a de-escalation.
01:07:11.000If something were to happen, The federal government already, we know, that this guy from the DOJ goes and joins the local DA's office in New York and prosecutes Trump and is now trying to put him in prison.
01:07:24.000I don't think people are going to tolerate this.
01:07:26.000If we get a fracturing of confidence in the federal government to a certain degree where, let's say Texas files a lawsuit again this time, which seems very likely, the Supreme Court refuses to hear it, so then Texas says, we will not do this a second time.
01:07:40.000These are clear violations of the U.S.
01:07:42.000Constitution, and if the Constitution is not being upheld by the Supreme Court, then it is void.
01:07:47.000I don't know how—if they get to that point immediately, I think it could take months where they're petitioning and petitioning and petitioning and saying, how many times do we have to demand that the rules are actually upheld, that we agreed upon?
01:07:59.000And if you will not agree to these rules, you are telling me that you avoid the Constitution.
01:08:04.000So if Texas then says, we are not going to cooperate with the federal authorities because they have not cooperated with us, they have broken the mutual pact, A lot of people are going, oh, national divorce, oh, it sounds good.
01:08:16.000And then what happens when resource battles begin?
01:08:18.000Then what happens when one state needs access to another state's, or there's a shared body of water or river?
01:09:17.000Well, I mean, you're completely right looking at the series of events and suggesting that it's not going to happen immediately, because that's what happened with the revolution, that's what happened with the Civil War.
01:09:25.000I do have to say, whatever the next president is, or the one after that, if the Civil War happens in the next eight years, I'm going to be so mad that a Pennsylvanian president was responsible for both of them.
01:09:39.000I look back at the American Revolution and the Civil War and what led to them and it wasn't Bunker Hill, it wasn't Lexington and Concord, it wasn't Fort Sumter, it was a decade of the people of America, of the colonies saying, hey guys, can we like Rule ourselves?
01:11:31.000Where we are now, It's, yeah, I mean what, ten years?
01:11:35.000We've, coming off of 2008, with the financial crisis, and the outrage over the big banks, the Federal Reserve, this corrupt, broken system, the mass printing of money, and foreign war without declaration.
01:13:46.000When you got a small town, everybody's seen a speed trap, right?
01:13:49.000That state highway that goes through a small town where the speed limit goes from 55 to 20, like that, and it's because there's a small town there.
01:13:56.000They call them speed traps, sometimes they are, but the small town says, we've got houses along this road because it was built as a supply, like people, it's like an outpost almost, don't speed through our town, you're gonna hit our kids.
01:14:10.000A single county sheriff could slow down deliveries to New York City.
01:14:14.000A single county sheriff Puts up a checkpoint in his county in a small town.
01:14:19.000Trucks come by and he says, we are no longer getting support for these roads.
01:14:24.000If you want to drive through here, it's a fee of $50 for every truck because we gotta pay this.
01:14:29.000And it's very difficult to source the materials to fix this when we're seeing trade break down.
01:14:33.000And the truckers say, there's no way I'm doing that.
01:14:35.000Well, do you remember how effective the Canadian trucker blockade was?
01:14:39.000And one of the effects was, like, we are not getting our deliveries on time, right?
01:14:43.000So if a small town trucker was like, I'm not doing this, and a point of entry to a city was like, we are also not participating, or we're blocking this off, like, it all falls apart.
01:14:52.000It's a fragile, codependent system that gets, you know, food, supplies, whatever, to especially major cities, but from regions across the country to these major cities.
01:15:01.000The urban populations tend to forget that they rely on the rural population for raw materials, and the rural population relies on them for finished goods.
01:15:10.000The rural population doesn't need them for finished goods.
01:15:12.000The urban population needs them for raw materials.
01:15:16.000Let's jump to this segment, which is somewhat related.
01:17:41.000I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories.
01:17:42.000I hear a lot of things out on the road.
01:17:45.000Does he come from the democracy of Ireland?
01:17:47.000And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, and if we want to go back to the roots of the country, one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
01:17:56.000But to hear Americans, people who would describe themselves as patriots, say that America is not a democracy, that stopped me in my tracks.
01:18:06.000You are hearing people say America is not a democracy because there are people around Trump who want them to be saying that, who've been planting that narrative.
01:18:51.000You have a collection of jurisdictions that have formed a cooperative government with each other.
01:18:55.000In this instance, you have states which have formed a federal government which is to serve them, and that is the Republic of the United States of America.
01:19:02.000A democracy would be a single body where the people vote on things, and there can be different structures of that democracy.
01:19:09.000But there's direct democracy, and democracy typically involves the will of the masses.
01:19:14.000And we do have referendums in some states, but the United States is a republic, and that's why states each get two senators to represent the state.
01:19:22.000You know what's kind of funny about it, too, is, like, the Athenians tried democracy, and then the Romans looked at the Athenians and went, absolutely not.
01:19:34.000We're gonna take the simple part of that, and then we're gonna make it way more complicated and better.
01:19:37.000It took, like, one generation for people to realize democracy's not a good idea at the international scale.
01:19:45.000I say we repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate popular vote for federal senators, because the original idea was your local representatives would choose who your senators are going to be that go to the federal government.
01:20:03.000And the idea was better men would be chosen.
01:20:06.000The state will be represented by people who were chosen for the job.
01:20:10.000And the argument was, I believe this was like the beginning of the 1900s, end of the 1800s, too many people were getting their buddies in and it was corrupt, so we should turn it into a popular vote of the state.
01:20:20.000The states will vote for who they think should represent their state.
01:20:59.000If they can convince people that we don't have a democracy, then it's okay that Trump is attacking democracy because it doesn't really matter.
01:21:07.000So why has democracy become a bad word?
01:21:10.000Because it's being used in a way to change the flavor of our country, which is a republic.
01:21:18.000These words were used in different ways in the 18th century, and it's true, the found... Oh, man.
01:21:23.000Words don't mean anything, and I make them up as I go along!
01:21:27.000They were used interchangeably in the 18th century, that's why Benjamin Franklin went out of his way to make a point about the difference.
01:21:34.000Really simple explanation of the difference between a democracy and a republic.
01:21:37.000A republic is Rhode Island has like a city and they get two senators.
01:21:43.000California has very many and they have two senators because they are equally represented as state bodies in a republic system.
01:21:50.000Now a democracy would strip those senators away and you would vote purely by population.
01:21:56.000What happens in places like this, California is a great example, I love bringing this up, When I went to meet the farmers during the drought, they were not allowed to use the surface water for their crops because of democracy.
01:22:08.000Because the way the vote worked on surface water was, the millions of people who live in cities say, we vote to get the water.
01:22:15.000And the people who live in the farmland in the rural area said, we vote to keep the water.
01:22:17.000And they went, unfortunately for you, you're 10% of the population.
01:22:23.000So they took the water away from the farmers.
01:22:25.000In a republic, California cannot outvote Rhode Island's interests.
01:22:30.000They have to go to the federal government and compromise, and it is rather difficult.
01:22:36.000They have to negotiate with other states.
01:22:39.000If we went full democracy, California, New York, and Illinois would form a compact and say, let's just cut deals with each other and we own the country.
01:22:48.000And then it doesn't matter where you live.
01:22:49.000If you're outside of those places, you don't have the population.
01:22:52.000And it would be basically major urban centers, and they would be in total control of everything everyone else does.
01:23:23.000And you know, for them to say, oh, this is just a narrative that Trump has planted with people around his rallies.
01:23:28.000Well, it must be amazing that Trump has a time machine.
01:23:30.000And he went back and got in Ben Franklin's ear when a lady asked him when he was coming out of a meeting that what kind of government we have.
01:23:35.000And he said, a republic, if you can keep it.
01:23:37.000So it's just amazing that Trump must have went back in time and changed Ben Franklin's mind as well.
01:23:59.000In fact, so the first attempt at government was the Confederacy, the Confederate States of America, and then, or the Articles on Confederation, I should say, not the Confederacy.
01:24:12.000And so they said, we want to create a stronger federal government.
01:24:16.000And then I believe it was the anti-federalists wanted the Bill of Rights.
01:24:22.000They said, we want you to write down a guarantee you will not do these things to us.
01:24:27.000So the Constitution instantly got the Bill of Rights, of which I believe originally there were 17.
01:24:31.000And they narrowed it down because they were like, we don't need seven of these.
01:24:34.000They're just obvious within the document.
01:24:36.000And then 200 years later, The people did not agree with that.
01:24:41.000Well, they combined many of them and changed the language on some of them.
01:24:45.000They screwed up the Second Amendment, miserably.
01:24:47.000And the original first article was congressional, I believe it was congressional pay.
01:24:53.000The first and second were congressional pay and apportionment.
01:24:56.000Well, one of my favorite things about the Second Amendment is that everybody's like, oh, well, no, it means, you know, militia and the, you know, it's all very, you're not understanding.
01:25:04.000It's not the unlimited right to bear arms.
01:25:06.000Alexander Hamilton ...didn't even think they needed it, because he thought it was so obvious, so clear, in the articles describing what Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court are allowed to do, that they had no power to regulate firearms.
01:25:20.000So Hamilton was like, I don't think we need this.
01:25:23.000I do not think this needs to go in there.
01:25:36.000He was very pro-gun, but at the same time, also pro-central banking.
01:25:41.000Nobody's perfect, that's what I've learned from this conversation.
01:25:44.000The original Second Amendment actually went on to say that, and the gist of it was, You can have a gun even outside of the military.
01:25:54.000But the issue was, they were concerned that it would actually stop conscription.
01:26:00.000So it said something like, even if someone is an objector to war, they still have a right to keep and bear arms.
01:26:05.000The concern was, if we say, the militia being required for a free state, the right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed, the implication is, everyone can have guns because they're going to be conscripted to militia or military.
01:26:19.000And they were like, well, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:26:21.000Then we'll add, even if you object to conscription, you can still have a gun too.
01:26:27.000And then they went, ooh, but that might be used to make it so we can't conscript people in time of war.
01:26:40.000If you look at whether states issued permits, I mean, it wasn't until DC versus Heller where they said, you can actually have a gun outside your house.
01:26:48.000So there were a lot of states that were May issue states, you'd apply for a gun, they'd say, no, you can't have one.
01:26:55.000And then one by one over the past, you know, 10 years, 20 years, we have seen states go constitutional carry.
01:27:03.000So now you have all these states where it's like, you can buy a gun.
01:28:02.000I hope every single gun rights organization files an amicus brief in support of Hunter Biden and says the Form 4473 is unconstitutional and must be abolished.
01:28:11.000I have some buddies at the GOA who I can talk to on Discord on the ride home.
01:28:31.000Isn't it amazing that someone like Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, may actually be the very thing that turns the ATF from a government agency to a convenience store?
01:28:39.000I always wondered when they were presenting his defense in that case, Lowell, his attorney, was like, well, he did not think of himself as an addict at the time.
01:30:20.000So it's not, it's not a legitimate, man, this fly is really killing me.
01:30:23.000It's not, it's not a legitimate use of law enforcement action.
01:30:26.000The things that they've done to Trump are not legitimate.
01:30:29.000So if, if, if someone is at war and conflict and they're weaponizing whatever, like they're getting cops to do this, it's not two tier justice at all.
01:30:39.000It's just police officers attempting to kidnap Donald Trump and convince you it's okay.
01:30:45.000I mean, as you guys, as I said earlier, I have never intended to vote for Trump, but this is that watching this happen has been like the most terrifying thing of my adult life.
01:30:52.000The fact that they have just gone whole hog doesn't matter.
01:30:56.000You know, Hunter Biden is getting off scot-free.
01:30:59.000Meanwhile, Trump is going to prison for what I believe were actually misdemeanors that were upgraded to felonies.
01:31:39.000Oh, alright, well not that one, but still, banning the bump stocks.
01:31:40.000And we fell for that too, and then, we were talking about it like a couple weeks ago, and I was like, yeah, he did say, you know, I like to ban the guns first and go through the courts later, and then we pulled up the quote, and he was actually not, he was speaking, it was pulled out of context.
01:31:52.000It seems like he was quoting someone else.
01:31:54.000And he may have been saying something like, look, I really don't want to be the guy who says, I want to get the guns first and then go through the courts later.
01:32:00.000They were like, just clip that middle part.
01:32:02.000It was clearly pulled out of context, and we don't know what the full context was.
01:33:22.000How are tariffs a tax on the American people?
01:33:24.000Because even if you're technically taxing the overseas producers, when it gets over here, since the overseas producers are bringing things in, the American companies buying them have to pay more money to buy them, and then they pass that cost on to us.
01:33:35.000So just buy domestically produced products?
01:35:03.000I think at this point everybody's entrenched and I'm having a hard time changing my paradigm.
01:35:08.000In 2015, it might have been 2016, Michael Moore had one of the greatest speeches in modern American politics, which was intended as an anti-Trump speech.
01:35:17.000Although all the Trump supporters did was they clipped the end out and they presented what was the greatest Trump-supporting speech of all time.
01:35:23.000Where Michael Moore said, Donald Trump went into the office of the big auto manufacturers and he said, if you move these factories out of the United States and send them overseas, I will charge a 30% tariff on all of your goods and no one will buy your cars ever again.
01:35:40.000And Michael Moore said it was amazing.
01:35:42.000No one had ever stood up to these big corporations before like this.
01:35:47.000And what he described as Trump is the biggest F.U.
01:37:37.000To be fair, it's actually much higher than this.
01:37:39.000Everyone was spending like 30-40 bucks on water, and then as the population began to flee Michigan because the auto manufacturers left and the rust belt is dying, The static cost remains, so the cost per person goes up every time someone moves out.
01:37:53.000Eventually, you ended up with the Detroit metropolitan area having the most expensive water in the country.
01:37:59.000So Flint says, we can't afford this, we're poor.
01:38:02.000Shut it off and switch to Flint River.
01:38:04.000And then everyone started getting sick, creating a massive crisis.
01:38:07.000We built this massive system in Detroit.
01:38:10.000And they've destroyed it because they allowed these companies to go to Mexico and China to produce these products with slave labor.
01:38:16.000The people in China, they're not getting paid.
01:38:17.000The Foxconn laboratories, famously 10 years ago, people were walking off the building in mass or threatening to walk off the building in mass suicide because they were getting paid so little.
01:38:27.000And they were forced to live in these like 16 person rooms and in bunk beds and work like 12 to 14 hour days, barely getting any sleep.
01:38:39.000We shouldn't allow companies to exp... like, it's basically slavery.
01:38:43.000They are going to countries where there are no laws to govern human rights abuses so they can manufacture a product for a hundred bucks and then sell it to an American for a thousand.
01:38:52.000What that does is it extracts I think Trump was right to impose the tariffs and say, make it in America, give Americans the job.
01:38:56.000working class, sending it from regular working people slowly over time to the wealthiest
01:39:01.000Americans and the rest, a pittance, goes to the slave labor in Mexico, China, Indonesia
01:39:06.000and other places where they make your clothes, Cambodians and things like that.
01:39:10.000I think Trump was right to impose the tariffs and say, make it in America, give Americans
01:39:14.000the job, this will make for Americans, some of these products might be a little bit more
01:39:18.000expensive in the short term, but in the long term, because we're multi-layered thinkers,
01:39:23.000Americans all of a sudden have income.
01:39:25.000They're working jobs where they make a lot of money.
01:40:12.000I don't think there's any Trump economic policies that Biden hasn't adopted because they worked better than his own.
01:40:17.000I think it's just social at this point.
01:40:18.000We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?
01:40:22.000One like equals one Biden broke his brain.
01:40:26.000Also, head over to TimCast.com, click join us on the left side in the menu bar.
01:40:30.000Become a member because the uncensored call-in show will be coming up in 20 minutes where you can actually call in and talk to us and our guests and join the show.
01:40:38.000You gotta be a member for at least six months, $10 a month level, or if you sign up today at $25 a month, you bypass that.
01:40:45.000We had to create a barrier because we get wackos and weirdos who try to come in and disrupt us, so we were like, maybe time or money, you pick?
01:40:52.000So become a member, support our work, let's read your superchats!
01:41:19.000$25 also was like, eh, it's not worth it.
01:41:21.000So we were like, this created like a minimum barrier to make sure, like you can go in the chat rooms, but there's like, after six months you get upgraded because we're trying to keep, people could do real disruptive stuff.
01:41:33.000And so we were like, got to keep those people out of here.
01:41:36.000Only for the legit people who actually want to have the conversations.
01:41:38.000And then I will announce for our elite members.
01:41:44.000You may have seen the video I posted on X singing Eve Six's Inside Out.
01:42:41.000Ethan Hame is facing 10 years on four felony charges for reporting on how his Texas hospital was chemically and surgically castrating kids as young as 11.
01:42:50.000We've actually got one of these stories up for the Members Only show, which will get a little spicy, so... And Chris Carr just covered this on SCNR.com, so check out his article.
01:43:00.000Craig Dubbs says, I want to publicly thank Chris for not only supporting the suffering MMTLP community, but giving us full access to his contacts in Washington.
01:43:12.000Yes, I'll actually talk about that stuff that came up for a minute.
01:43:14.000So, you know, you hear a lot about the stock market manipulation that happened with AMC and with GameStop.
01:43:20.000Well, really, the one that has the evidence, the one that would be the smoking gun, if you will, is MMTLP.
01:43:26.000So this is a dividend stock who went on the OTC and traded for a little while against the company's will, and then eventually was to be, by FINRA, announced on December 6, 2022, that on December 12, it was going to stop trading and go private again.
01:43:42.000Okay, well then on the 7th, the vice president of OTC backs up that same thing saying, you got to December 12th, sell your shares, get your money out.
01:43:50.000Okay, then on December 8th, FINRA again backs up that same statement, December 12th it will go off being publicly traded.
01:43:59.000Then all these people, 65,000 shareholders, wake up on December 9th with the trade halted and all their money gone.
01:44:07.000And we have reached out to members of Congress.
01:44:08.000Congressman Mooney here in West Virginia has been a big help with this.
01:44:12.000I helped with 15 of these 100 signatures personally.
01:44:14.000So we have about 25% of Congress demanding answers, wanting FINRA to release a share count here just to audit this thing.
01:44:21.000And, you know, we talk about having free and fair markets.
01:44:24.000Well, how about a free and fair stock market where everyday people like us can invest their way to our American dream without these hedge funds doing naked shorting and getting these regulatory agencies to do these unfair halts taking your money?
01:45:38.000So, I mean, it does give you a little bit of glimmer of hope that you see a little bit of bipartisanship going on.
01:45:42.000But, you know, we're 18 months into this and it's not been resolved.
01:45:46.000And we have to resolve this stuff so we can, you know, have free and fair stock markets.
01:45:49.000Because the money, the amount of money that has been stolen from these people and the amount of suffering they've been through, it's inexcusable.
01:45:54.000I mean, this is so unconstitutional on so many levels.
01:46:45.000But the 4th of July, we are going to be hanging out.
01:46:49.000We're going to be watching the fireworks and we're going to be eating burgers and doing America stuff and flying the American flag because we love this country and we want it to survive.
01:46:55.000And when I say that there's like no country, I mean we are at odds.
01:47:00.000The people who believe in what America is Actually, I can simplify it.
01:47:05.000If someone flies an American flag, you know who they're voting for.
01:47:08.000That's where we currently are in this country, and that matters.
01:47:11.000So, also, July 5th is also 4th of July, too.
01:47:15.000Everybody knows on July 5th, we're all gonna be out eating burgers and watching fireworks, and then we're gonna do the same thing on Saturday, so we get a four-day 4th of July celebration this year, and we are going to accept it.
01:47:26.000The reality is also, there's literally no way to book someone to come on the 5th of July.
01:48:24.000Hey everyone, I don't know who else to turn to, but my Bernese has gone through a life-saving surgery, and the medical costs are sadly more than I can manage.
01:49:29.000But you hear stuff like this all the time, right?
01:49:30.000I mean, the story of someone who's been deported multiple times with an established criminal history comes back and, I don't know, commits a crime is well-documented in America.
01:49:39.000We just don't take the border crisis seriously, especially under this administration.
01:49:42.000Yeah, I mean, we've even had a woman here in West Virginia who was murdered by an illegal immigrant who It's sad to me that you can name so many, like Rachel Moore in Maryland, at Mama 5, Lake and Riley.
01:49:50.000You know, with the Iguana immigration, I call it an invasion.
01:50:36.000The draft in a defensive war organizes and coordinates efforts to win the war.
01:50:41.000If an invasion force lands at Boston, and you say, nah, everyone will defend themselves, a coordinated, organized enemy force will easily crush all of these singular individuals trying to defend themselves.
01:50:53.000When you conscript the young men, you say, in order to repel them, we have to organize our forces and build a strategy to stop them.
01:51:00.000Because, you know, I'll put it this way, you know why there's no anarchists, great anarchist societies?
01:51:05.000I believe Catalonia briefly had one for a little bit?
01:51:16.000Because what happens with anarchist societies is a barbarian leader or a fascist dictator or otherwise just says, so they try to rule by committee?
01:51:26.000So I can just instruct my men to take it?
01:51:45.000And then you are being ruled by some bad guy.
01:51:49.000Yeah, we fought hard at Bunker Hill, and we fought hard as we were getting pushed down through New York and into Pennsylvania and into Virginia, and it was only once we got to Valley Forge and trained the military that we were able to do anything.
01:52:25.000If they drafted all of these Gen Z women and made them clean the kitchen, then you've got administrative work, you've got... I'm for the Civil Service Corps, I agree, but I do not want anyone... But military has people who clean kitchens, too.
01:54:45.000I like the idea of like, you know, back in the day, the British are coming and they're killing everybody and people are like, okay, we have to stand up against this.
01:54:52.000And they went to a bunch of young men and said, are you with us or not?
01:54:55.000And they were like, you're in, we got to defend this country if there's going to be one.
01:55:00.000But I do believe a lot of the Continental Army was enlisted, not conscripted.
01:55:04.000I think part of enlisted is that you believe that there is something worth fighting for, and I can understand where generations after seeing, you know, Endless Wars or feeling like the places we're being sent don't actually serve a national defense purpose.
01:55:16.000They just sort of serve the purpose of getting more influence for people in positions of influence.
01:55:22.000That's not a very inspirational time to sign up and potentially risk your life.
01:55:36.000There's a video that went viral a few months ago, and it's popping up again, where an untrained man fights a woman with 10 years experience in karate.
01:55:44.000And it's just like, people are saying the guy's clearly holding back.
01:56:45.000Tim Aldridge says, as someone who's tried to initially join the Air Force and then cross over from the Navy into the Space Force, good luck getting into either, especially during a war.
01:57:15.000I just don't know that many people who are like... I have known some, but there are not a lot of people who are like, I want to be front lines.
01:57:22.000Alright, Sneak King says we should draft illegal aliens first.
01:58:42.000What you are seeing on your screen This right here, this image where you can see a little, that deep dish garbage, that is tourist pizza for people who don't know what pizza is, and they come to Chicago, and they went, I want Chicago pizza, and we all go, yeah, yeah, go to Giordano's.
01:58:55.000And they do, don't get me wrong, Lou Malnati's, I don't know if Leona's still exists, Pizzeria Uno, they're all over the place, and Giordano's, it's good, but 99% of the time, in Chicago, when you'd order a pizza, you would get this big thing right here on the right.
01:59:59.000In my life, I have gone to a deep dish pizza place 7 or 8 times.
02:00:07.000And I have gone to a real pizza place 897 times.
02:00:12.000I mean, honestly, probably more than that.
02:00:16.000We would go to Big Tony's in near Logan Square, and I think it's closed now, and we'd order the extra-large jumbo family-size Giardiniera pizza, and it was massive, and it looked like that.
02:00:43.000The tourists come in and they go, we want pizza, and they go buy the weird tourist stuff from that big chain of tourist pizza places that you could order on the internet pre-made frozen and delivered to you.
02:00:52.000You guys want a little Philadelphia secret?
02:00:55.000Pats and Geno's aren't the best cheese steaks.
02:01:00.000Well, you gotta get the good local stuff.
