Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Biden Special Counsel Audio LEAKS His Brain Was FRIED Democrats COVERED IT UP | Timcast IRL

00:00:17.000 Late this afternoon, unreleased audio of Joe Biden and Robert Herr's interview was released, and it is terrible.

00:00:27.000 We're going to listen to some of it.

00:00:28.000 It really throws egg in the face of all the people that were swearing up and down that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and has never been better.

00:00:37.000 So we'll listen to some of that.

00:00:39.000 We also have news about the tax break bill that did not pass today for multiple reasons.

00:00:47.000 There's talk about the Spending was too high.

00:00:50.000 There weren't enough cuts.

00:00:52.000 There's also talk about some of the NFA stuff that we've been discussing here on the show wasn't in there, and there were some brave Republicans that refused to vote because of that.

00:01:02.000 So we'll go ahead and jump into that.

00:01:05.000 We've got some information about the former FBI Director James Comey and his walk on the beach the other day, in which he took pictures of what was...

00:01:17.000 I think it was 86-47, which was alleged to be a threat.

00:01:23.000 Now, whether or not you think it's a threat, I think is largely irrelevant.

00:01:27.000 I just like to see the government treating the left the way that they have been treating the right for so long.

00:01:33.000 There's also some Secret Service people talking with Ed Krasenstein, and we'll get into that.

00:01:40.000 Donald Trump has...

00:01:42.000 The administration was working on a plan to move one million Palestinians to Libya.

00:01:47.000 I don't think that that will be a good idea, but we will talk about the absolute mess that that will create on the left and also in Gaza. 0.89

00:01:56.000 And then if we get to it, if we have enough time, there was a prison break in Louisiana.

00:02:01.000 Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail with help from people inside the department.

00:02:06.000 So we'll get to that tonight too.

00:02:08.000 It's a Friday.

00:02:09.000 It's chill.

00:02:11.000 Right now, what I want you guys to do is head on over to Cast Brew Coffee.

00:03:36.000 The media has called me a protege of U.S. Rep.

00:03:40.000 Thomas Massey, and that is part of what inspired me to run for office.

00:03:43.000 I'm a state representative representing Kentucky.

00:03:46.000 And I am also a constitutional attorney with a crippling addiction of suing tyrannical governments and winning.

00:03:54.000 And I'm a lifelong liberty advocate.

00:04:00.000 Awesome.

00:04:01.000 Thank you for joining us.

00:04:02.000 What's up, Fred?

00:04:03.000 Hey, Ben.

00:04:04.000 What's up, guys?

00:04:05.000 It's Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

00:04:06.000 I'm the resident of Blue Collar here at Timcast.

00:04:08.000 I look forward to talking to the most ferocious gun advocate in America, so they say.

00:04:13.000 Brett.

00:04:14.000 Yo, guys, what's up?

00:04:15.000 Yes, Brett, normally Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. Eastern on YouTube and Rumble, but I'm excited.

00:04:21.000 Anybody who is a protege of Thomas Massey, let's go.

00:04:24.000 Yeah.

00:04:25.000 All right, so we're going to start by jumping into this audio from Axios.

00:04:32.000 Exclusive.

00:04:33.000 Prosecutors' audio shows Biden's memory lapses.

00:04:35.000 So, if you don't remember, amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected, or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had.

00:04:49.000 According to the audio, Axios obtained from his October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Herr.

00:04:57.000 Axios goes on to say the newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details while occasionally slurring words and muttering shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year as questions mount about his mental acuity.

00:05:11.000 We all know why the administration refused to release this stuff.

00:05:16.000 It's because Biden was basically dead.

00:05:18.000 Everyone in Washington that was a Democrat or in the media was covering for him.

00:05:25.000 And you're going to hear exactly how bad it was right now.

00:05:29.000 So let's see.

00:05:30.000 will.

00:05:31.000 So during this time we were living in Chambers Road and there were documents related to the Penn-Biden Center or the Biden Center or the cancer from your shot.

00:05:43.000 Or your book.

00:05:45.000 Where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively looking for?

00:05:57.000 Well, he just asked him, where did you keep papers?

00:05:59.000 The question is, where did you keep those papers?

00:06:01.000 And now listen to how his rambling answer goes.

00:06:04.000 I don't know.

00:06:07.000 This is what...

00:06:10.000 2017, 18, that period?

00:06:12.000 Yes, sir.

00:06:14.000 Remember, in this time frame, my son has either been deployed or is dying.

00:06:23.000 Dying in 2015.

00:06:24.000 Bo Biden passed away in 2015.

00:06:27.000 May.

00:06:27.000 May?

00:06:28.000 May.

00:06:29.000 And so, if it was...

00:06:38.000 And by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were...

00:06:46.000 He got out of the Senate before he was vice president.

00:06:49.000 Why is Jill letting him out in public?

00:06:51.000 Yes.

00:06:52.000 It's incredible.

00:06:53.000 It's elder abuse.

00:06:55.000 So the question was about the papers that he had.

00:06:59.000 And he goes all the way back to his time when he got out of the Senate before he became vice president.

00:07:04.000 Except the president.

00:07:07.000 I'm not a mean thing to say, but he just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did.

00:07:16.000 And so I hadn't...

00:07:18.000 I hadn't at this point, even though I'm at Penn, I hadn't walked away from the idea that I might run for office again.

00:07:25.000 But if I ran again, I'd be running for president.

00:07:29.000 And so, what was happening, though, was once Bo died, May 30th, 2015, he died.

00:07:43.000 I think it was 2015.

00:07:45.000 I'm not sure the months were, but I think it was the month.

00:07:48.000 Yeah.

00:07:49.000 That's right, Mr. President.

00:07:51.000 And what's happened in the meantime is that as

00:08:01.000 Alright, so as you can see or as you can hear, he was an absolute mess and it makes perfect sense as to why the prosecutor said we don't want to release this because Right after the horrible debate...

00:08:29.000 Where he floundered.

00:08:30.000 He gave an energetic speech to the people who were there off-camera.

00:08:36.000 It wasn't part of the official debate, but it was covered on social media.

00:08:39.000 And they're like, look at him, he's sharp as a tack.

00:08:41.000 He's right on his game.

00:08:42.000 It's weird.

00:08:43.000 In that audio, it feels like what happens when you're really, really overtired and you're trying to say uh enough times until your thoughts actually catch up with what you're trying to say.

00:08:53.000 And he just never gets there.

00:08:55.000 Like if I didn't have an utter disdain for any and all self-serving politicians, I would actually feel bad for him, but I can't really rise to that level.

00:09:04.000 I'm glad you don't.

00:09:05.000 Yes.

00:09:05.000 What do they say?

00:09:06.000 He was an old man.

00:09:07.000 He was very nice.

00:09:07.000 That's why they couldn't press charge or something like that.

00:09:09.000 Yeah, and that's some of the context behind this.

00:09:13.000 This interview was about whether to pursue charges against Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents after leaving the vice presidency, which, by the way, they...

00:09:26.000 And this was Biden's...

00:09:42.000 FBI doing this.

00:09:43.000 This was Biden's DOJ prosecuting Donald Trump.

00:09:47.000 Well, it was somebody in D.C.'s DOJ, but whether he was actually able to cognitively make that decision is anyone's guess.

00:09:54.000 Well, I think the tape shows he wasn't cognitively able to make that decision.

00:09:59.000 It just shows if it weren't for double standards, there would be no standards on the left because, one, the vice president has no control over classified documents once they leave office.

00:10:09.000 The president...

00:10:10.000 Theoretically does.

00:10:11.000 And so, but yet, this was, if anything, was a stronger case.

00:10:16.000 But we're seeing exactly why that report said.

00:10:19.000 He's senile.

00:10:21.000 He's having cognitive issues, and it would be difficult to prove to a jury that he could even stand trial, let alone be held accountable for these actions.

00:10:29.000 And now we're really seeing why they did not want this tape to come out, because this would have been the end of 2024, as if the debate between President Trump and Biden was not the end of it.

00:10:41.000 I love that he said they wanted him to run but the president.

00:10:44.000 Was he talking about Obama or who?

00:10:46.000 What he was saying is...

00:10:48.000 President Obama didn't want him to run because he thought that Hillary Clinton had a better chance.

00:10:53.000 But it's worth noting, or reminding everyone, this was in October 2023.

00:10:59.000 So this was a full year before the election, obviously in November 2024, and he was absolutely falling apart back then.

00:11:12.000 I assume we're probably mostly in agreement here that he was unfit when he was first elected in 2020.

00:11:20.000 But the idea that there was, again, this is something we've talked about and a lot of people are talking about now, that no one in the administration stood up and said, hey, this has to stop.

00:11:31.000 That Kamala Harris, as the vice president, didn't say we need to invoke the 25th Amendment. 1.00

00:11:36.000 And you hear people on the left...

00:11:38.000 We have a president that...

00:12:03.000 Definitely cannot execute the job.

00:12:06.000 And the entire media establishment didn't do anything.

00:12:11.000 Jake Tapper was poo-pooing people.

00:12:13.000 Now he's got a book admitting it.

00:12:14.000 And there's no repercussions for any of these people.

00:12:19.000 No, it's the same thing that happened with the Hunter Biden laptop, where they kick the can down the road, they don't talk about it, they don't talk about it, and then three years later, when it's no longer politically beneficial for them, suddenly they're like, oh crap, I forgot about that.

00:12:33.000 That was real, wasn't it?

00:12:34.000 That's the same thing, and if you're expecting the media to have any type of morals, you're in the wrong place.

00:12:41.000 Yeah, I was going to say, I think the reason, like...

00:12:44.000 Nobody wanted to report on it, none of the people in his inner circle, none of the cabinet members, because they had the ability to be in charge of what the country was doing.

00:12:53.000 Biden didn't do anything. 0.99

00:12:54.000 He was useless. 0.99

00:12:55.000 So they were able to run what they wanted to do, run the schemes they wanted to do, while they had a puppet, some dead man walking. 0.92

00:13:02.000 Yeah, I think that is actually true, and I think that...

00:13:06.000 A part of the reason why that was so appealing is because you get all of the ability to make decisions that the president has with none of the responsibility because you can either lay it on Joe Biden's shoulders or more than likely do what they seem to have done, which is kind of just pass the buck around until people stop asking questions.

00:13:25.000 Which is exactly what people talk about.

00:13:27.000 When you hear the...

00:13:28.000 The amorphous term of the swamp or the blob.

00:13:31.000 That is in a lot of ways what they're talking about, which is unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who are using the essential corpse of a sitting president to make decisions that he clearly wasn't able to make himself.

00:13:45.000 Biden's.

00:13:45.000 Pardon me?

00:13:46.000 Oh, yeah.

00:13:48.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's unfortunate that we didn't have anyone that would, you know, we didn't have anyone in the...

00:13:58.000 I mean, you know, what's your take on the whole situation as to why no one kind of stood up and said, hey, look, this is an actual problem.

00:14:06.000 Are you in agreement that it was about, you know, just people were afraid of doing it?

00:14:11.000 Or do you think they like the power that they had?

00:14:15.000 It was fear from the media.

00:14:16.000 The media knows that they are an arm of the Democrat Party and the unit party in Washington, D.C., the endless wars, endless spending, Well, if you're part of an alphabet soup agency...

00:14:45.000 There you go.

00:14:46.000 And that's why we need to rein in those agencies as much as humanly possible.

00:14:50.000 We did that in Kentucky.

00:14:51.000 We can do that at the federal level.

00:14:53.000 We got in a reins act to bring these guys in and actually get the legislature back involved.

00:14:58.000 But also, there's an element of fear within the political class as well.

00:15:03.000 The Democrat Party is among the most remarkably unimpressive group of people that they've ever been at.

00:15:12.000 They don't have a good successor.

00:15:15.000 They are scrambling to try to find individuals, and they're just trying to manufacture excitement.

00:15:20.000 I've seen it with my own governor, who was a complete joke, who tried to jail churchgoers, including myself, and he doesn't have a shot at the presidency.

00:15:30.000 Kamala Harris clearly didn't have a shot at the presidency. 1.00

00:15:34.000 They're trying to rebound a foul that they just cannot truly rebound from because they're a dying party.

00:15:42.000 So what would – why wouldn't Kamala Harris be the one to talk about the 25th Amendment then? 1.00

00:15:47.000 Just literally it was Nancy Pelosi like, do it and you're done.

00:15:50.000 She should have.

00:15:52.000 That should have been – I'm saying like what – I'm saying like it seems to only benefit her.

00:15:56.000 If she does.

00:15:57.000 So if she didn't, was Nancy Pelosi in her hair?

00:16:00.000 Like, your career in politics is done if you do this?

00:16:03.000 We need to keep things the way they are right now?

00:16:05.000 I don't know exactly what her thought process was.

00:16:09.000 If you can ride the coattails of the existing president into office, that's the best option for you.

00:16:19.000 I think part of the reason is because Joe Biden was likely going to run for president again.

00:16:26.000 And he clearly had made it clear that he was going to.

00:16:30.000 Because October 23rd, or 2023, the campaign had already started.

00:16:36.000 So he was already running.

00:16:38.000 So for her to kind of scoot in there and be like, yo, we have to get rid of this guy, at least during the campaign, that would look like it was a grab for power. 1.00

00:16:48.000 You know, on her part.

00:16:49.000 So if it had happened a year earlier, do you think they would have done that?

00:16:52.000 She should have done it a year earlier, yeah. 0.98

00:16:54.000 If she had any cojones, she would have. 1.00

00:16:56.000 But they probably told her, like you were saying, Nancy Pelosi, you know, they're like, shut your mouth. 0.99

00:17:01.000 One of the things that I've heard a lot of people that are in the know talking about Kamala Harris is she has an inability to make hard decisions when it matters. 1.00

00:17:15.000 Yeah, and I think that's part of why she didn't invoke the 25th Amendment. 1.00

00:17:18.000 If you wanted to guarantee that Kamala Harris never became the president, give her a bite at the apple of holding the position of the most powerful person on the planet. 1.00

00:17:29.000 The number one way to guarantee that she never wins an election. 1.00

00:17:32.000 would be to give the people a free sample of what living under her would look like. 1.00

00:17:36.000 And there was also – there's discussion about what the fallout would be if in America the first female president ended up being unelected, which was something that had been discussed in a lot of ways.

00:17:47.000 So, okay.

00:17:48.000 Who do you think would be then?

00:17:50.000 So I think that the Republicans still have their own issues going into 2028.

00:17:55.000 I don't think they have a natural successor to Donald Trump.

00:17:58.000 In a lot of ways, I think that his kind of – Personality holds a lot of the core elements together in the America First movement.

00:18:05.000 So if you were to be forced right now to pick who would be successors for both Republicans and Democrats, do you see at least a bad candidate choice for Democrats or somebody sensible for Republicans?

00:18:17.000 I think Andy Beshear is going to run for president, and there is a higher than 0% chance that he becomes the nominee.

00:18:23.000 And I just want to be clear.

00:18:25.000 He tried to jail churchgoers on Easter Sunday.

00:18:30.000 For merely worshipping God.

00:18:31.000 When was this?

00:18:32.000 2020.

00:18:33.000 I was one of those churchgoers.

00:18:35.000 I received a prosecution notice on my windshield saying to serve either two weeks of house arrest or to go to jail for a year.

00:18:41.000 Had to assume in federal court got a unanimous decision out of the Sixth Circuit saying that's unconstitutional.

00:18:47.000 He tried to jail people for protesting his lockdowns.

00:18:51.000 All the while, he's taking part in Black Lives Matter rallies.

00:18:53.000 So viewpoint discrimination.

00:18:55.000 He was just denied qualified immunity for taking a coffee shop owner's food and liquor locker room.

00:19:02.000 I mean, this guy is a tyrant to end all tyrants.

00:19:09.000 He refuses to implement the laws of the Commonwealth.

00:19:13.000 He vetoed a bill to ban child gender reassignment surgeries on minors.

00:19:22.000 The guy is as far left as they can.

00:19:25.000 He vetoed the bill.

00:19:27.000 Fortunately, here in Kentucky, we have a simple majority veto override requirement.

00:19:31.000 But you can just look at how he acts when we're not in session.

00:19:35.000 He is remarkably unimpressive.

00:19:38.000 He runs off of his dad's coattails because his dad used to be the governor.

00:19:43.000 So I think that he would be one of those people where people look at him and think, this guy has that Mr. Rogers persona. 0.77

00:19:48.000 But then when you actually get into his record and you see his actual personality on stage, the corruption levels that he has, he's embroiled right now over ridiculous— Do you think that a white man has the—the Democrats would choose another white guy?

00:20:06.000 They've been choosing white guys from their inception. 0.89

00:20:10.000 I mean, they didn't last time.

00:20:12.000 Actually, the past two times, they didn't.

00:20:14.000 They chose—well, no, not past two.

00:20:15.000 Of the past three, one was a white woman and one was an African-American and Indian, I believe, woman.

00:20:21.000 Sure.

00:20:22.000 And maybe AOC will go for it in order to try to be the first female president. 1.00

00:20:26.000 They might try to do that.

00:20:28.000 But also, I just see the way that Bashir is posturing.

00:20:33.000 I know he's going to run.

00:20:35.000 Confident AOC is going to run.

00:20:36.000 Sure, sure, yeah.

00:20:37.000 Pete Buttigieg?

00:20:38.000 Pete Buttigieg is going to run.

00:20:39.000 Pete Buttigieg is going to run.

00:20:40.000 I don't think he could because, first of all, I don't think that a gay guy can win, and I don't think that Pete Buttigieg is too short. 1.00

00:20:50.000 He's like 5 '8", 5 '9".

00:20:51.000 He's just a little taller than me.

00:20:55.000 And I'm definitely not going to win.

00:20:57.000 I'd vote for you, Phil.

00:20:58.000 Thank you very much.

00:20:59.000 I would never run, and I've said this before, I would say the N-word in public before I serve in any kind of position.

00:21:05.000 Will you run for president?

00:21:06.000 Just drop it right there.

00:21:08.000 I'd be singing Kanye's new song as loud as I could.

00:21:12.000 Just to make sure that I'm unqualified.

00:21:15.000 You might win if you do.

00:21:18.000 That'd be a great movie plot.

00:21:19.000 You just do everything to make it stop, and it just keeps working for you.

00:21:23.000 People are like, man.

00:21:24.000 I like this guy.

00:21:26.000 He's good.

00:21:26.000 He's short, but you know.

00:21:28.000 No, I think it's clear that Buttigieg is going to run.

00:21:33.000 Gavin Newsom is going to run.

00:21:35.000 Whitmore, right?

00:21:36.000 Probably.

00:21:36.000 AOC who?

00:21:37.000 Whitmore.

00:21:37.000 You think Whitmore's going to run?

00:21:38.000 Gretchen Whitmore, she might. 1.00

00:21:40.000 I don't see her as making it to the top crew.

00:21:45.000 Does Gavin Newsom feel like the one who has the most...

00:21:47.000 Even with all of California's failures, does he kind of fit the bill as what they're going to end up going with?

00:21:54.000 In my opinion, he's the smartest and making the smartest moves because he's trying to walk back the crazy woke stuff.

00:22:03.000 He's walked back his position on gender reassignment surgery, on children telling the school about their gender and hiding that information from parents.

00:22:15.000 He's started that podcast where he's trying to interact with other people.

00:22:20.000 So he's the one making the smart moves.

00:22:22.000 I don't know that that translates to people voting for him.

00:22:25.000 And I don't know if the modern Democrat Party will accept a white guy.

00:22:30.000 They're trying to get rid of David Hogg now.

00:22:33.000 And a lot of that is because of the fact that he's a white guy.

00:22:36.000 The process, they said, was messed up and it had something to do with he's a white guy.

00:22:42.000 That's why they don't want him anymore.

00:22:44.000 Oh, was that actually about quotas?

00:22:47.000 I think it's because he's saying that we need to...

00:22:49.000 To primary safe Democrats.

00:22:52.000 I think that's the behind the scenes.

00:22:54.000 Well then isn't that more of an argument for Gavin Newsom given that he represents more of an establishment viewpoint than he does the progressive ideas of AFC?

00:23:01.000 Democrats are in a really tight spot where their base, they have to play to their base to get the nomination and then they have to play to the mainstream and the base is so far left.

00:23:10.000 And that's what I was about to say is that the conversations Gavin Newsom is having I think hurts him.

00:23:15.000 I think it hurts his probability of winning in the primary because the Democrat Party is so far gone that they're not even capable of having conversations with people to the right of Elizabeth Warren.

00:23:26.000 They're done.

00:23:27.000 Sunshine is the best disinfectant of delusions, but they don't even have the conversations.

00:23:33.000 They are taking firm positions on 80-20 issues, and they're always on the 20. Always.

00:23:40.000 Every single time.

00:23:43.000 Newsom's new approach as trying to be a moderate, I think, is going to hurt him in the primary.

00:23:48.000 In the primary, yeah, I think you're right, and I don't know how any of the Democrats that could win a primary will win a general.

00:23:57.000 It just goes the same way of Bernie in 2016, and you get a Hillary Situation 2.0, superdelegates, all that business, and then you get Gavin Newsom in there, who, you know...

00:24:09.000 Starts playing to the base of moderates, but then he can point to, like, look at all of my insanely far-left policies in California.

00:24:15.000 Don't you love our light rail that never got built?

00:24:17.000 This is amazing.

00:24:18.000 I mean, if Gavin Newsom does get the nomination, there is an endless amount of criticism that you can heap on him, whether it be things like unfinished projects like the rail, the homelessness epidemic.

00:24:33.000 There is a decade of Gavin Newsom, a decade's worth of Gavin Newsom doing interviews and doing press conferences where he says, the homeless epidemic, we're going to end right now.

00:24:44.000 This has got to change for a decade.

00:24:46.000 And it has gotten no better.

00:24:48.000 California has rolling blackouts in the summertime because they stopped having any kind of nuclear.

00:24:52.000 They haven't done what they need to do for their infrastructure.

00:25:01.000 Gas tax.

00:25:02.000 Gas, incredibly expensive.

00:25:03.000 There's all kinds of things that the Republicans can attack Gavin Newsom for that are substantive, never mind if he has to spend the entire time leading up to the primaries being as far left as the most far left is.

00:25:18.000 TJ, can I ask you a quick question?

00:25:19.000 How the F does Kentucky have a Democrat as your governor? 0.81

00:25:23.000 So we have a few issues.

00:25:26.000 2027, Andy Beshear will not be the governor.

00:25:29.000 He is term limited out, and that 2027 election cycle will be the first time that we have had statewide elections where the name Beshear is not on the ballot in over half a century.

00:25:41.000 So it is a royalty name.

00:25:44.000 And as I was mentioning about Andy Beshear, he has that Mr. Rogers personality, but yet you actually look at how he governs, he truly is far left.

00:25:55.000 But, as well, we have to own a little bit of the blame as well.

00:26:01.000 Our elections are the year before presidential elections.

00:26:04.000 My side of the aisle, we have a voter turnout problem in off-your-even elections, let alone odd-numbered elections where there's no federal races as well.

00:26:13.000 We really need to focus on state and local races as conservatives because that is really where the policies are made.

00:26:22.000 Is that an issue amongst Republicans and conservatives in all states?

00:26:25.000 Because it seems like unless Trump's on the ballot, they have a turnout problem.

00:26:28.000 It's everywhere.

00:26:30.000 And that's the thing, though.

00:26:31.000 And a lot of it is the consulting class.

00:26:33.000 These people love to take in money and get their commissions off of TV ads.

00:26:38.000 But what really wins elections is door knocking.

00:26:41.000 My state house campaign, we knocked over 30,000 doors, and I beat a guy who had held some form of elected office since the year I was born.

00:26:50.000 By 50 points.

00:26:51.000 I got 74.2% of the vote.

00:26:54.000 And that was because we had a grassroots campaign doing whatever it took to win on principle.

00:27:01.000 And that's what we need to do, is we need to have people who are going out, exciting the base, making sure that they are ready to go, because all too often you see people go in, be a firebrand in the primary.

00:27:15.000 And then moderate themselves.

00:27:16.000 Well, those people who got you across the finish line in the primary, they're going to see that you're shifting on these positions, and they're not going to be as excited to come out.

00:27:25.000 So in 2027, for Kentucky especially, we need someone who is truly going to put Liberty at the front when it comes to the governor's election, because I guarantee you that person will win in the general.

00:27:38.000 It seems like that's one of the – like with all the work Scott Pressler has done, like one of the things I pointed out, I said growing up, I never remember – I don't think I ever remember in my life any type of Republican door-knocking campaign before recently.

00:27:50.000 At least not that I had ever seen.

00:27:51.000 I had only ever been visited by people pushing for Democrat candidates and I think you're 100 percent right and like perhaps working on that at the state level with your own early vote action, something like that.

00:28:03.000 Absolutely.

00:28:03.000 I live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for the most part and anytime – When he comes to my door.

00:28:08.000 Anytime.

00:28:08.000 You're in Harrisburg?

00:28:09.000 Yeah.

00:28:10.000 I'm not.

00:28:10.000 And then he's a Democrat.

00:28:12.000 Yeah.

00:28:12.000 I've never got an R come to my door.

00:28:14.000 Always Dems.

00:28:14.000 Historically, Democrats do have a better ground game than Republicans.

00:28:17.000 Is that partially because of where they live?

00:28:20.000 Being cities and being in closer proximity, whereas your average conservative voter is going to be spread out across land?

00:28:27.000 My personal opinion is that it's a lot because of the type of person that's a Democrat and the type of person that's a Republican.

00:28:34.000 Oh, that's fair.

00:28:34.000 Republicans tend to want to do things.

00:28:37.000 In the private sector, they want to go and start a business for themselves.

00:28:41.000 They don't tend to think that life happens to them.

00:28:45.000 They feel like they have agency and they can go out and affect the world and do things for themselves and make their lives better.

00:28:52.000 People that are Democrats tend to have the opinion that things happen to them, so the best option for them is to get into some kind of activism to change the world, get into some organization, go into politics.

00:29:03.000 Those kind of ideas tend to be...

00:29:06.000 Something that Democrats have more often.

00:29:08.000 That's why you see a lot of activists on the Democrat side.

00:29:11.000 Whenever you hear people say, oh, I'm an activist, very rarely are they like some kind of liberty activist or whatever.

00:29:16.000 They're generally like an activist for a cause.

00:29:18.000 You've got your global warming or your eco people or civil rights or whatever.

00:29:24.000 These are all different types of activists that tend to be on the left, and I think it's a lot because of the inclinations of the personalities.

00:29:30.000 There's a lot of people out there that think blank slate stuff is true.

00:29:33.000 I don't believe it for a second.

00:29:35.000 I think that you are born with the kind of psychological makeup of a conservative or the psychological makeup of a progressive or liberal.

00:29:45.000 Now, you can have things happen in your life that'll change that, like getting a real job, and then you're like, oh, paying taxes will change your opinion of that kind of stuff fairly quickly.

00:29:58.000 But...

00:29:59.000 But generally, like, the inclinations are honestly very strongly dependent on your personality.

00:30:05.000 So we're going to go to this story now.

00:30:08.000 The AP is reporting that the conservatives blocked Trump's big tax break in a bill in a stunning setback.

00:30:16.000 Now, it is a setback to, you know, according to your average conservatives.

00:30:22.000 But the reasons that they...

00:30:25.000 That this bill didn't pass are actually, in my opinion, pretty legitimate.

00:30:29.000 And we'll get into this, but it is actually a very good thing if you are a Second Amendment-minded person, at least on the tertiary side.

00:30:37.000 So AP reports Washington.

00:30:39.000 In a setback, House Republicans failed Friday to push their big package of tax breaks and spending cuts through the Budget Committee as a handful of conservatives joined all Democrats in a stunning vote against it.

00:30:49.000 The hard-right lawmakers are insisting on steeper spending cuts to Medicaid and their Biden-era green energy tax breaks, among other changes, before they will give their support to President Donald Trump's beautiful bill.

00:31:00.000 Okay.

00:31:05.000 The failed vote, 16 to 21, stalls for now.

00:31:09.000 House Speaker Mike Johnson's pushed to have the package approved next week.

00:31:12.000 But the Budget Committee plans to reconvene Sunday to try again.

00:31:15.000 Lawmakers vowed to negotiate into the weekend as Trump is returning to Washington from the Middle East.

00:31:20.000 Something needs to change and you're not going or you're not going to get my support, said Representative Chip Roy from Texas, tallying a whopping 1116 pages.

00:31:30.000 The one big, beautiful bill act named with a nod to Trump is teetering at a critical moment.

00:31:34.000 Johnson is determined to resolve the problems with his package that he believes will inject a dose of stability into the wavering economy.

00:31:41.000 Now, it's my opinion that this bill will do very good things for the economy, right?

00:31:47.000 You get tax cuts, but there are a lot of things that they're legitimately critical of, which is, first of all...

00:31:54.000 It is an increase in spending, which is something the Democrats or the Republicans have been saying that they're not going to do.

00:31:59.000 A lot of them have run on the fact that they're not going to increase spending.

00:32:03.000 If you actually do care about the fiscal health of the United States, cuts have to be made.

00:32:10.000 Clearly, there should be reforms to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

00:32:15.000 Those are the big mandatory spending things, but I don't think those are actually addressed in this particular bill.

00:32:20.000 But there does need to be a slowdown of spending.

00:32:24.000 There needs to be cuts.

00:32:25.000 The fact that they are, that some of the Republicans are putting the brakes on because of the Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act, in my opinion, that's the right move. 1.00

00:32:36.000 These are things that should be no-brainers for Republicans.

00:32:39.000 They're low effort and low cost, especially because this will be an omnibus bill.

00:32:44.000 This is going to be a gigantic bill that's going to get passed.

00:32:47.000 And if your constituents don't like it, you can say, well, look, we had to pass this, and I didn't put that stuff in there.

00:32:53.000 So it gives them cover.

00:32:57.000 And honestly, I don't think that this is likely to actually...

00:33:03.000 Actually not pass.

00:33:05.000 I think overall it's going to pass.

00:33:06.000 So these changes should get in there.

00:33:09.000 And I do think that it would be a very good thing for the Republicans to do.

00:33:15.000 What do you think, TJ?

00:33:16.000 Yeah, I mean, on two fronts.

00:33:18.000 Just today, Moody's dropped the United States AAA credit rating.

00:33:24.000 Oh, did they?

00:33:25.000 I didn't hear about that.

00:33:26.000 That just happened today.

00:33:28.000 So our credit worthiness is going down for the first time in my life.

00:33:32.000 Our national debt is rapidly approaching $37 trillion if it's not already there.

00:33:39.000 We have to do something about this if we want future generations to live in an era of prosperity that our prior generations lived in.

00:33:47.000 And the real tax is the spending programs.

00:33:51.000 We can't...

00:33:52.000 Truly cut enough taxes to bring about American prosperity without significant spending cuts.

00:33:58.000 And, you know, we can just look at what just happened today.

00:34:02.000 That should be a kick in the pants to say it is time to address our spending habits.

00:34:06.000 And I'm going to be level.

00:34:08.000 All gun control is unconstitutional.

00:34:11.000 And the Ways and Means Committee gutted the provisions of this bill that would have...

00:34:18.000 They helped millions of Americans exercise their basic Second Amendment rights by taking suppressors and short-barreled guns off the National Firearms Act.

00:34:27.000 Instead, they only got rid of the $200 transfer tax.

00:34:31.000 They didn't even get rid of all of the taxes.

00:34:33.000 You have an annual occupational tax.

00:34:36.000 If you are a dealer or manufacturer, you have a separate tax as well under the NFA.

00:34:41.000 If you're an importer, there's another tax.

00:34:45.000 But also, the NFA is even more dangerous, as my friends at the National Association for Gun Rights points out.

00:34:53.000 It is a database of gun owners.

00:34:55.000 If you have a suppressor like I do, if you have an SBR, you are part of a national database that has all of your information.

00:35:04.000 It is outrageous.

00:35:07.000 And there are...

00:35:08.000 There's about 4.9 million suppressors in circulation right now.

00:35:12.000 Very much in common use.

00:35:14.000 Yes.

00:35:14.000 Stand up to the standards under, I think it's Bruin.

00:35:18.000 Bruin, yes.

00:35:19.000 Yeah, so this bill has the chance to do something truly incredible to protect gun owners and to truly unleash the basic right of self-preservation.

00:35:34.000 And I completely understand why Andrew Clyde and these reps were voting it down.

00:35:39.000 One, there's way too much spending.

00:35:42.000 And two, we're not doing enough to protect gun owners.

00:35:45.000 And that's something that we campaigned on.

00:35:47.000 We campaigned on an absolute adherence to our Constitution, to returning to fiscal sanity.

00:35:52.000 And look, the reality is that the appropriators...

00:35:57.000 Love going to the Democrats to try to get the votes for it, and I'm glad that people are standing their ground.

00:36:03.000 I'm sure this bill is going to pass, and I hope we can get it to a point where we're actually cutting spending, where we're actually protecting the gun owners. 0.73

00:36:10.000 And by the way, the way that we're getting gun owners into this is that the NFA is primarily a tax bill.

00:36:17.000 So thank goodness we found that opportunity to go in and try to gut the NFA, but we need to repeal the whole thing.

00:36:25.000 Yeah, so if you are interested in making your voice known about this, you can call Speaker Johnson and you can let him know that you want to see the Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act both in the bill.

00:36:41.000 These two particular acts...

00:36:46.000 They'll protect existing gun owners because this doesn't do anything. 0.92

00:36:50.000 These don't do anything to prevent people from getting guns or getting their hands on suppressors.

00:36:55.000 Everyone is pretty aware that there are enough guns and there are enough suppressors in the United States that if someone wants to get their hands on them, they can get their hands on them.

00:37:03.000 And it is not common to see anyone using a short barrel rifle or a...

00:37:11.000 Suppressor in commission of crimes.

00:37:13.000 Everyone knows that the vast majority of crimes that are committed, they're committed with handguns because they're the easiest to conceal.

00:37:20.000 So it's a good idea to call your reps and make sure that they're pushing for this.

00:37:27.000 Or you can call Speaker Johnson's office and be like, hey, this is important to me and to other...

00:37:34.000 Other conservative and pro-Second Amendment Americans put that in there so that way we can stop throwing regular Americans that are not breaking the law and stop throwing them in jail and hassling them and making them go through all kinds of onerous BS just to own firearms that are clearly protected under the Second Amendment.

00:37:55.000 So the blocking of this bill...

00:38:03.000 AP continued to say that with a few votes to spare from his slim majority, the Republicans are trying to pass it over staunch objections of Democrats who slammed the package's big, bad bill, or as Rep.

00:38:14.000 Malajaya Paul Washington called it, one big, beautiful betrayal.

00:38:18.000 I think that everyone knows that the Democrats are just going to be in lockstep against whatever happens.

00:38:24.000 I'm not sure exactly what they think.

00:38:27.000 What kind of changes would make the Democrats sign on to it?

00:38:32.000 But considering that it was 100% of the Democrats, all of the Democrats voted no, I don't think that there is anything that the Republicans can do.

00:38:40.000 Does anyone have a sense of it differently, or is this just all partisanship in your opinion?

00:38:43.000 When was the last time there was a spending bill that didn't fall on partisan lines?

00:38:47.000 Well, the thing is, I can't answer that off the top of my head, but I do know that Republicans will step out of line.

00:38:54.000 You know, clearly, the reason this didn't pass is because, you know, Republicans stepped out of line.

00:39:00.000 I think it was like six people they said, or five people they said, decided they weren't going to vote for it.

00:39:06.000 So Republicans do have a mind of their own, but I don't know if there's anything the Republicans can do to get Democrats on board, and I'm wondering if you guys can think of it.

00:39:13.000 There's no way, yeah, there's no way they can get Democrats on line.

00:39:16.000 They are lock, stock, smoke and barrel, all in line, doing what they want to do, or doing what they're told to do, as we know with the...

00:39:23.000 Biden's still being president and everyone telling him what the, you know, voting for him and supporting him.

00:39:28.000 I also didn't know that it was actually literally called the one big beautiful bill.

00:39:33.000 I thought that was just a joke.

00:39:35.000 That's hilarious.

00:39:36.000 And I think that's why Democrats will never get on no matter what's in it because they are not here for policy at this point.

00:39:43.000 They are here for blood against President Trump and his supporters and anything that is modeled off of his framing.

00:39:52.000 They're not going to go for it.

00:39:54.000 And that's something that really changed the dynamic.

00:39:56.000 Up until now, every single spending bill that Mike Johnson has gotten through, he's gotten it through rule suspension and getting Democrats to vote on it.

00:40:06.000 He's gotten Democrats to defect over, while the fiscal hawks, the people like myself who pledged to never vote for a budget that increases the total level of spending, he had to get them.

00:40:19.000 But now...

00:40:21.000 He can't get them.

00:40:22.000 He has to get the conservatives on board, and that's a good position for us.

00:40:27.000 Before today, it was my inclination to believe that Democrats were going to be— I was going to say, is there anything in there for gender studies in Paraguay?

00:40:43.000 Because if there is, they might be able to push it through. 0.97

00:40:45.000 I was assuming that it was going to be a situation where Democrats would say, oh, well, hey, we'll put this garbage in there, we'll put that garbage in there, and that way we can hold our nose and vote for it.

00:40:59.000 That's what I was under the impression happened frequently when it came to these types of bills where everybody just shoved the junk in that they wanted to get and everyone else said, well, I don't want to vote for your stuff, but because I'm getting my stuff, I'll go ahead and hold my nose and do it. 0.51

00:41:14.000 You should sneak term limits in there.

00:41:15.000 I mean, I don't see them doing that.

00:41:18.000 And I'm still of the opinion that term limits are not the fix-all that a lot of people do.

00:41:23.000 No, but it would help.

00:41:24.000 I'm not sure.

00:41:25.000 Then let me ask you guys a question.

00:41:27.000 If you're talking about decreasing spending, cutting spending, where do you go first?

00:41:35.000 I mean, I wouldn't take anything off the table.

00:41:39.000 So the overwhelming majority of our spending is in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, National Defense.

00:41:46.000 Look, all three of these are...

00:41:48.000 Is mandatory spending something that they could affect on this one?

00:41:51.000 I mean, theoretically, you could crack open anything in the legislative process.

00:41:55.000 But in this stuff, I mean, foreign aid would be the first thing on discretionary spending that I would get rid of.

00:42:01.000 It all needs to go.

00:42:02.000 Another thing, codify the doge cuts.

00:42:05.000 Sure, yeah.

00:42:06.000 That is one of the number one things that people knew was coming.

00:42:10.000 President Trump campaigned on government efficiency, cutting waste, cutting fraud, cutting abuse.

00:42:15.000 The people at Doge are working night and day for a more efficient government to where we can truly get to these cuts.

00:42:22.000 And they're doing great work.

00:42:24.000 But appropriators in Congress are stonewalling them.

00:42:28.000 And sadly, it's people with the same letter next to my name doing it.

00:42:32.000 And it's disgraceful.

00:42:33.000 We need to absolutely make sure that fiscal conservatism is on the ballot in 2026.

00:42:39.000 The people who are going to prevail in the next election cycle are going to be the people who put their foot down and say, we are not selling future generations down the river with endless debt.

00:42:49.000 We need to codify the doge cuts.

00:42:52.000 Look, there might be – people have concerns about doge.

00:42:55.000 But we knew this was coming.

00:42:58.000 It needs to get through.

00:42:59.000 We need to get that through.

00:43:02.000 We need to make sure that we are not having over-centralization on issues that are fundamentally up to the states.

00:43:07.000 Getting rid of the Department of Education would be something that could go into this bill as well.

00:43:12.000 The good news is that there's universal school choice provisions in the bill, but it needs to go even further.

00:43:18.000 Put it in as block grants to the states and ensure that they have to adopt universal school choice programs.

00:43:23.000 That's a huge issue in Kentucky.

00:43:25.000 Our Supreme Court said that school choice is unconstitutional.

00:43:28.000 Parents, it's unconstitutional. 1.00

00:43:30.000 Well, the way that the federal government is right now, this is an opportunity to give that in as well.

00:43:43.000 We're not funding gender studies in Pakistan, which is one thing that we've done. 0.99

00:43:48.000 Let's cut the grant that we have in Kentucky. 0.98

00:43:50.000 There's a federal grant to study the sex habits of quail while they're high.

00:43:56.000 Wait, what?

00:43:57.000 Yeah, Rand Paul exposed that, and ever since he exposed it, they still keep putting it in the budget.

00:44:03.000 Really?

00:44:03.000 They keep putting it in?

00:44:04.000 It's still there.

00:44:05.000 It is still there.

00:44:09.000 Absolutely nonsensical programs.

00:44:11.000 Just get back to the bare-bone basics.

00:44:13.000 What is the legitimate role of government?

00:44:15.000 Protecting life, protecting liberty, protecting property.

00:44:18.000 And just look at the expenditures and just ask yourself, does this expenditure do one of those three things?

00:44:23.000 And if the answer is no, cut it.

00:44:26.000 I like it.

00:44:28.000 Alright, so we're going to move on to this next story here.

00:44:31.000 From CNN, former FBI Director James Comey interviewed by the Secret Service.

00:44:38.000 CNN reports former FBI director James Comey was interviewed by U.S. Secret Service agents at their Washington, D.C. field office on Friday afternoon, according to law enforcement sources.

00:44:48.000 Comey was interviewed by agents investigating a social media post he posted Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out 8647, which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency.

00:45:01.000 Well, that's not what the Secret Service is talking to him about.

00:45:05.000 It's not about they're not talking to him just because.

00:45:07.000 It was about removing Trump from the presidency.

00:45:09.000 We'll get into that in a minute.

00:45:11.000 Comey was not in custody and appeared voluntarily, a source said.

00:45:15.000 Trump and fellow Republicans have attacked Comey for the post, demanding an investigation.

00:45:19.000 Comey knew exactly what it meant, Trump said in a Fox News interview.

00:45:22.000 A child knows what it meant.

00:45:24.000 If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that means, that meant assassination.

00:45:29.000 In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had posted earlier a picture of some seashells I saw today on a beach, which I assumed were a political message.

00:45:41.000 It was expected that Comey will be asked if he intended the message as a threat or to inspire others who might consider an act of violence against Trump the source.

00:45:49.000 Look, it's my sense that this was not actually a threat, but...

00:46:02.000 I don't feel bad for Comey getting hauled in to talk to the Secret Service or the FBI, first of all.

00:46:09.000 And second of all, I do think that it's worth noting Donald Trump had two actual attacks on his life during the campaign.

00:46:18.000 There was another person that tried to jump on stage and tried to grab Trump, and I'm not sure exactly what happened to that guy.

00:46:25.000 I don't know if that would count as an attack on his life, but it certainly... 0.99

00:46:30.000 Put his safety into question.

00:46:32.000 There was the May 29th attack on the White House during the riots.

00:46:37.000 And then on top of that, it is essentially considered perfectly normal to threaten the president's life on social media or to make those kind of threats, or has been.

00:46:48.000 Is that realtor guy?

00:46:49.000 What?

00:46:50.000 The realtor guy who did it from his car.

00:46:52.000 Who called for violence against the person.

00:46:54.000 Oh yeah, the Secret Service picked him up.

00:46:56.000 These things are happening regularly and as former head of the FBI, I think at the very least, saying 8647 is incredibly irresponsible and I don't have any problem with him dragging him in.

00:47:12.000 He just thought he was being cool.

00:47:13.000 He's like, hey guys, look at me.

00:47:14.000 He actually didn't find these.

00:47:15.000 There's no one, no family out there hanging out, going on the beach, having a good time.

00:47:19.000 They're going to decide to write 86-47 nice like that in the sand so someone can find him later.

00:47:23.000 He just wanted to point.

00:47:25.000 He's like, hey, I'm cool.

00:47:26.000 I said let's 86-47 and now he's cooler in their eyes. 1.00

00:47:30.000 He's just a troll piece of ass. 1.00

00:47:33.000 And you know, in 2022, there were 74 arrests of citizens for threats against President Biden. 1.00

00:47:41.000 The number of arrests that have happened over the 8647 post is zero.

00:47:46.000 Right now, there's just been questioning by the Secret Service.

00:47:49.000 So the left needs to check their hypocrisy here because they're the ones who set the precedent here that social media threats are arrestable now.

00:48:00.000 They're the ones who set that precedent.

00:48:03.000 Perhaps they shouldn't have spent the last four years weaponizing the government against average Americans.

00:48:08.000 That's just a thought there, is that if we're going to be free speech absolutists, they should have been free speech absolutists too.

00:48:14.000 Yeah, I mean, look, the FBI was arresting parents for going to PTA meetings or parent-teacher meetings.

00:48:24.000 They were arresting people for trying to go to church.

00:48:28.000 I'm not sure if the FBI was doing that.

00:48:29.000 It was probably local law enforcement.

00:48:32.000 But the left has been doing all that it can do to chill people that have unfavorable opinions from expressing those opinions.

00:48:42.000 And like I said, I don't have any kind of problem with them applying some pressure to Comey about this.

00:48:51.000 I didn't take it as a threat against the president.

00:48:53.000 From what I understand, that was a term that was used in prohibition about sending people out the back of the bar when the cops showed up.

00:49:01.000 But like you said, turnabout is fair play.

00:49:03.000 Am I really going to lose any sleepover?

00:49:05.000 Plus, he was the head of the FBI.

00:49:07.000 It's not like he doesn't understand the gravity of his actions. 1.00

00:49:10.000 You can't tell me that he's just some 20-year-old on social media who said something stupid for the first time. 1.00

00:49:15.000 No, I'm not going to believe that you're that dumb. 1.00

00:49:18.000 And if that means that you have to have a discussion... 1.00

00:49:24.000 Yeah, I think he knows full well exactly what he was doing.

00:49:28.000 And again, I'm not of the opinion that he was saying that there should be an attempt on Trump's life or that he was trying to imply that.

00:49:35.000 But again, all the stuff that I said earlier still applies.

00:49:39.000 There is nobody...

00:49:41.000 No president that has been in as much danger and been threatened as many times as Donald Trump.

00:49:48.000 And it is because of the behavior not only of...

00:49:53.000 The crazies out there, but because of the rhetoric that comes from the left.

00:49:56.000 Did Trump say anything about this?

00:49:58.000 Did he respond to this in any way?

00:50:00.000 Oh yeah, he said Comey knew exactly what that meant.

00:50:04.000 Trump said in a Fox News interview, a child knows what that meant.

00:50:07.000 If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant assassination.

00:50:11.000 So yeah, he knows.

00:50:13.000 And again, if the President of the United States decides, okay, you want to make these remarks, you're supposed to be...

00:50:21.000 You're supposed to be held to a higher standard as someone that was formerly the director of the FBI.

00:50:27.000 Supposedly intelligent.

00:50:28.000 Yeah.

00:50:29.000 It's the same argument that I've made about Ilhan Omar and some of the more inflammatory rhetoric that she's made.

00:50:35.000 When people were talking about whether or not it was actually breaking the law to talk to illegal immigrants and say...

00:50:44.000 You know, tell them, hey, these are the things that you can or cannot say to ICE agents.

00:50:50.000 These are the things you should say and stuff.

00:50:52.000 Granted, the actual content of what they were telling illegal immigrants to say was not illegal.

00:50:59.000 But they should be held to a higher standard.

00:51:01.000 They shouldn't be trying to help illegal immigrants to... 1.00

00:51:06.000 Defy or avoid law enforcement.

00:51:09.000 And if that were a normal average person just telling them or an activist, I might say, okay, it's not such a big deal.

00:51:15.000 But considering it was Ilhan Omar or it was AOC or a member of Congress, an elected member of Congress, that comes with an amount of authority and these people that were listening, they likely were saying, this person is telling me how to avoid being deported, not telling me what my rights are.

00:51:33.000 And that kind of...

00:51:35.000 That kind of extra authority that comes with being a congressperson has to be taken into account.

00:51:42.000 Now, again, I don't think they should be arrested for it, but I wouldn't have a problem with censure from the Congress, censure from the House.

00:51:52.000 Look, man, you're telling these people, hey, this is how you avoid getting picked up by ICE.

00:51:58.000 You're helping them avoid getting picked up by ICE.

00:52:01.000 I mean, also, just, like, making little shapes in the sand is kind of lame.

00:52:06.000 Yeah.

00:52:06.000 He spent hours probably doing that.

00:52:08.000 He's like, I gotta go find a certain shell.

00:52:10.000 Yeah.

00:52:10.000 I'll exactly like...

00:52:11.000 Yeah, that's more questionable.

00:52:12.000 Because that is a social point.

00:52:13.000 It's a little sus.

00:52:14.000 Now he's cool.

00:52:15.000 Now he's cool.

00:52:16.000 Ed Cranston, all those people are doing all the same thing.

00:52:18.000 This isn't the first time he's been walking on the beach and saw something either.

00:52:22.000 I forget what the other conference was.

00:52:23.000 Harris 2024 or something like that.

00:52:25.000 Like, oh, I'm just walking on the beach and I saw this.

00:52:28.000 Wait, so he's done this before?

00:52:30.000 Yes.

00:52:30.000 His go-to move?

00:52:32.000 That's even sadder.

00:52:33.000 My morning walk, I found this.

00:52:35.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:52:36.000 I mean, if it wasn't for the fact that it's politics, you'd put it on Cringe of the Day.

00:52:38.000 Yeah, I would.

00:52:40.000 I mean, that might get the pass anyways.

00:52:42.000 That's sad.

00:52:45.000 In context, this is a similar story, and it's a little more fun.

00:52:51.000 From Libs at TikTok, breaking, Ed Krasenstein says Secret Service showed up at his house after he posted 8647 and plays dumb about what 86 means despite leftists openly boasting about using it to refer to assassinating Trump.

00:53:04.000 So let's listen to what...

00:53:06.000 So moments ago, the Trump administration just had the U.S. Secret Service come to my house.

00:53:12.000 You might be wondering why.

00:53:14.000 Because yesterday I made a post that said 8-6-4-7, which means if you look it up, get rid of Trump, as in impeach Donald Trump, as in 25th Amendment Donald Trump, as in vote Trump out of all this.

00:53:28.000 Does it?

00:53:29.000 Why, you may ask.

00:53:30.000 Because last night on the news, Donald Trump made the claim that 8647 means assassinate him, which it doesn't.

00:53:40.000 I would absolutely never ever call for violence against anyone.

00:53:43.000 So, the Secret Service agents were extremely friendly.

00:53:49.000 They were like, "Yeah, we understand.

00:53:51.000 It's just something we have to do." Because Washington told us to.

00:53:55.000 Washington told them to come give me a visit.

00:53:58.000 That's what he said.

00:54:00.000 Trump wants to be a dictator, and I will not be intimidated into not voicing my opinions or my dissent against him, ever.

00:54:09.000 When Biden was president, multiple large social media accounts on the right used the term 8646, meaning get rid of Biden.

00:54:17.000 It's true.

00:54:17.000 But now they want to create this new meaning in order to go after people who disagree with them.

00:54:22.000 We're not going to become a dictatorship.

00:54:25.000 Keep fighting back in a nonviolent way.

00:54:30.000 So, I don't feel bad for Krasenstein.

00:54:34.000 Again, I don't feel bad for these people at all.

00:54:37.000 The Secret Service didn't pick him up.

00:54:40.000 He didn't go to jail.

00:54:41.000 He wasn't booked.

00:54:42.000 He wasn't arrested.

00:54:45.000 And the Secret Service will go to your house and kind of sniff around if you make any kind of comments that they think are questionable.

00:54:54.000 It doesn't have to be just, oh, hey, explicitly do this violent thing.

00:55:00.000 If you're making remarks that are questionable, you might get a visit from the Secret Service, depending on your level of notoriety, how possibly serious they think you might be.

00:55:10.000 Isn't this the same guy who just called for riots if President Trump invokes his pardon power?

00:55:17.000 I don't know.

00:55:18.000 Maybe.

00:55:19.000 Yeah, the Krasensteins were just calling for riots if...

00:55:23.000 Donald Trump pardons Derek Chauvin.

00:55:25.000 So they're absolutely calling for beyond nonviolent resistance.

00:55:32.000 They were absolutely saying that...

00:55:34.000 Oh, riots are going to happen.

00:55:37.000 I completely get it if it happens.

00:55:39.000 I mean, they use weasel words with that much in the same way when 2020 was going on and they would put the stuff for bailing out rioters.

00:55:49.000 But really it was bailing out people who were arrested for protesting.

00:55:52.000 It's not bailing out rioters.

00:55:54.000 It's bailing out protesters.

00:55:55.000 Also, if I was going to give Ed some advice, like know the limitations of your voice.

00:55:59.000 I know the limitations of my voice.

00:56:01.000 I don't have the ability to give great rousing.

00:56:07.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:56:12.000 But he never said anything about how many times, TJ, you said that Biden had people visit.

00:56:17.000 The Secret Service?

00:56:18.000 You said a big number earlier.

00:56:19.000 It was 72. And it wasn't visits.

00:56:23.000 These were DOJ indictments and criminal charges and arrests made over social media posts that were construed to be violent threats against the President of the United States.

00:56:35.000 So this idea that the left didn't do this and, oh, if people said this about Joe Biden, nothing happened to them, is nonsensical.

00:56:47.000 Yeah, Ed, where were you then?

00:56:49.000 I mean, that's political whataboutism at its core, though.

00:56:52.000 Most of the time, it's like you're not paying as close attention to the things that are done on your own side.

00:56:58.000 I don't know whether he would actually have called it out.

00:57:00.000 I would guess he probably wouldn't have.

00:57:03.000 But most people have a blind spot, especially if they're party-affiliated and really, really support one side.

00:57:09.000 They have a blind spot for their own actions.

00:57:12.000 Yeah, I mean, that's a very charitable way to take it.

00:57:16.000 I'm saying that that's true here.

00:57:17.000 I'm saying in general people do.

00:57:19.000 Well, yeah, I mean, I agree.

00:57:20.000 And I think that when it comes to the professional people like the Krasensteins, I mean, their job is to get on Twitter and hate on Republicans and hate on Trump.

00:57:29.000 Well, yeah, he's paid, you know, paid by the parties.

00:57:34.000 And I'm not sure which organization, but, you know, it is his professional job.

00:57:38.000 I think that they know.

00:57:41.000 When they're doing something.

00:57:43.000 There are times when someone on our side is saying something and I'll be like...

00:57:48.000 Or I'll say something and then I'll be like...

00:57:52.000 And someone will call me out and I'll be like...

00:57:54.000 Maybe...

00:57:55.000 Sometimes I'm like, no, no, no.

00:57:57.000 This is blah, blah, blah.

00:57:58.000 But sometimes I'll be like, alright, I can see why you're saying that.

00:58:02.000 That's not really what I was thinking.

00:58:04.000 So if you're in this space, I do think that it makes sense to be like, hey...

00:58:10.000 Again, you kind of have to be held to a bit of a higher standard than your average person.

00:58:15.000 I wouldn't say that the Krasensteins need to be held to the standard of James Comey or a congressperson, but because of their experience, because of their income stream, I think that they should at least be held to a higher standard than Rando.

00:58:37.000 You know, Anon on the internet.

00:58:39.000 I would love for them, no one to ever share their content ever again.

00:58:41.000 Never go to their page and let's let them go into the ether.

00:58:44.000 Well, this, I mean, this is the fact that the Secret Service visited him.

00:58:49.000 I mean, they are making a boatload of money.

00:58:52.000 I mean, sure, this occasion.

00:58:52.000 It's the same thing with Hassan, who allegedly Hassan got...

00:58:58.000 He was pulled aside by TSA when he came back from an international trip, but there is rumors that he may have not actually been, or he may have been exaggerating what happened.

00:59:11.000 What do you got there?

00:59:13.000 The camera's off, but...

00:59:14.000 Give me something.

00:59:15.000 Yeah, basically, people were saying that he exaggerated.

00:59:19.000 He said it was way longer than it was supposed to have been, but...

00:59:22.000 Yeah, I mean, who's to know?

00:59:24.000 Maybe he did get questioned for a little while.

00:59:25.000 I'm not going to say that he didn't, but I'm not actually going to just give it to him first off if other people that have had the same thing to them have had completely different stories.

00:59:34.000 Yeah, and Hasan is definitely going to make money off of those.

00:59:39.000 This story, it was a story on his stream, I'm sure, and he's complaining about it and he's getting...

00:59:44.000 Makes money off of it.

00:59:45.000 Yeah, he's getting donations and level four.

00:59:51.000 Subscribers on his Twitch channel about it.

00:59:53.000 Comey needs to try something new. 1.00

00:59:55.000 Instead of the stuff in the sand, he should do a dirty window.

00:59:59.000 Like the back of a car.

01:00:00.000 Yeah, on the back of a car with a dirty window.

01:00:03.000 It wouldn't look so fake.

01:00:05.000 Nice.

01:00:06.000 He even color-coordinated them.

01:00:11.000 So yeah, I don't think that it's a problem and I don't think that the Krasen scenes are actually in any kind of serious danger at all.

01:00:19.000 So we're going to jump to this story here.

01:00:21.000 The Trump administration working on a plan to move one million Palestinians to Libya.

01:00:26.000 This is going to be hilarious.

01:00:29.000 Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

01:00:38.000 NBC News reports, the Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to one million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

01:00:51.000 The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya's leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said.

01:01:00.000 In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

01:01:11.000 No final agreement has been reached and Israel has been kept informed of the administration's discussion, the same three sources said.

01:01:18.000 The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment before this article was published.

01:01:23.000 After publication, a spokesperson told NBC News these reports are untrue, which is, you know, doesn't really mean anything.

01:01:33.000 So does this a genocide make?

01:01:37.000 If you can actually get the Palestinians out of Gaza, because I'm of the opinion that the... 1.00

01:01:44.000 The war so far is not actually a genocide.

01:01:46.000 A lot of people have died, and it's bad, and it's perfectly fine to be critical of the way that Israel's carrying out the war, but I don't consider it a genocide. 0.69

01:01:54.000 If they are actually going to remove everybody from the Gaza Strip, especially if it's permanently, I think that that might actually be closer to the definition of genocide.

01:02:08.000 Yeah, but doesn't the genocide...

01:02:09.000 I don't have it looked up, but isn't it like...

01:02:12.000 Killing?

01:02:12.000 Well, so if you're trying to remove people from a place by killing them and actually getting them out, I think that falls under the definition of genocide.

01:02:24.000 I'm not particularly...

01:02:26.000 I'd have to Google it to make sure.

01:02:29.000 Again, I don't think that the war in Gaza...

01:02:32.000 It's considered a genocide, mostly because I think that the Palestinian Hamas started it.

01:02:39.000 And I'm like, if you guys are picking the fight, it's not a genocide just because you're losing the war that you started.

01:02:45.000 It would be.

01:02:45.000 It's an international destruction of a whole or part of a national, ethnic, or racial religion.

01:02:51.000 If they moved them out of there, they'd be destroying them from that area.

01:02:54.000 That might actually qualify as a genocide.

01:02:59.000 Hamas absolutely started it. 0.99

01:03:01.000 That being said, I'm a student of Ron Paul and the Mises Institute.

01:03:06.000 I'm fundamentally a non-interventionist and not just America First.

01:03:09.000 I'm America Only.

01:03:10.000 One, the president has denied that this is true.

01:03:14.000 He's denied it.

01:03:15.000 So it's not happening.

01:03:17.000 That being said, when we can look beyond just nationality, ethnic origin, I'm more interested in what is going on in the United States.

01:03:28.000 Right now there's 11 to 15 million illegal immigrants, regardless of where they are from.

01:03:34.000 Rather than moving Palestinians to Libya, I'd much rather move 11 to 15 million illegal immigrants back to where they originally came from. 1.00

01:03:43.000 Fair enough.

01:03:44.000 I tend to agree with you.

01:03:47.000 Do you guys have a take on this?

01:03:49.000 I have a pretty admittedly utopian idea of foreign policy, meaning the same thing, which is America first, and I don't really care to see us being involved in these types of things.

01:04:03.000 And if the idea here is that you're going to displace a whole bunch of people and move them, you know, apparently on the American dime, you know, using U.S. government might to do so.

01:04:13.000 I don't care if you can't even get a spending bill through here and you can't even take care of the people here.

01:04:18.000 I don't really have the interest in it.

01:04:21.000 I'm convinced.

01:04:22.000 Yes, I agree.

01:04:23.000 Everything with Brett said.

01:04:24.000 Like, it's not the most sophisticated take, but most, like, usually when this type of stuff comes up, it's like, how can you expect me to take you seriously when you can't even figure out the things going on here with the people whose lives are affected directly each and every day?

01:04:37.000 And this happens, and I bring this up on here all the time.

01:04:39.000 It's like, every time there's a natural disaster, the U.S. government puts on a clinic on how to not handle something, whether it's Hawaii, whatever it is.

01:04:48.000 Like, they screw up everything and I'm supposed to imagine that my tax dollars, your tax dollars should be going to taking care of this, which has nothing to do with me and nothing to do with the millions of Americans who suffer each and every day.

01:05:01.000 It's actually comical to me.

01:05:02.000 But again, like I said, I don't have the most sophisticated view on foreign policy, and I understand there's a lot that goes into it with trade and protectionism and all of these things.

01:05:12.000 I can't, I just don't care.

01:05:14.000 Well, I mean, if they're...

01:05:16.000 If they're in Libya, then I think that's too far to shoot homemade rockets at Israel. 0.93

01:05:21.000 So the Israelis should like that, right? 1.00

01:05:24.000 Are there open-air slave trade, right, going on there too?

01:05:28.000 Where in Libya?

01:05:29.000 Well, if I understand correctly, Libya has actually kind of cleaned up some of the slave trade that was going on.

01:05:36.000 After Gaddafi was killed for a couple of years afterward, yes, slavery was back on the menu, boys. 0.52

01:05:44.000 They were definitely involved in the slave trade.

01:05:48.000 And I don't think that...

01:05:50.000 They may have cleaned it up, but I don't think that it's some kind of Western paradise.

01:05:55.000 Sure, yeah, 100%.

01:05:56.000 I just saw the thing about Cori Bush and Ayanna Pressley talking about another reparations bill.

01:06:02.000 Am I going to have to pay reparations in Libya in like 20 years?

01:06:06.000 Like, I don't want to do that either.

01:06:08.000 Yes, you will, actually.

01:06:09.000 No.

01:06:10.000 I can't believe that they're talking about more reparations here in the United States.

01:06:13.000 I'll just say, we'll find a way.

01:06:15.000 They'll find a way to spend the money.

01:06:17.000 Well, I mean...

01:06:18.000 I do think that they'll find a way to spend the money.

01:06:22.000 So, actually talking about the cost, NBC News was saying, such an effort would likely be extremely expensive, and it's not clear how the Trump administration would seek to pay for it.

01:06:33.000 In the past, the administration has said Arab nations would help with rebuilding Gaza after the war their ends, but they have been critical of Trump's idea of permanently relocating Palestinians.

01:06:43.000 In recent weeks, the Trump administration has also looked at Libya as a place where it could send some immigrants it wants to deport from the U.S. However, plans to send...

01:06:51.000 One group of immigrants to Libya were stalled by a federal judge this month.

01:06:54.000 I'm not sure sending immigrants in the United States to Libya is a good idea. 0.99

01:07:02.000 Listen, Tyler, what's his name?

01:07:05.000 Palmer Luckey.

01:07:06.000 Who's one of the CEOs or one of the guys from Mara, Libya.

01:07:11.000 One of the guys that started Andrel, or the guy that started Andrel.

01:07:15.000 He has a great idea called Liberty City in Guantanamo.

01:07:20.000 And basically dump a bunch of money into Guantanamo and make it into an actual, like, spaceport.

01:07:28.000 Because there's an eternal lease on the property.

01:07:32.000 And it's close to the equator, so launching...

01:07:36.000 Rockets to space is actually viable from there.

01:07:39.000 One of the things is you want to launch rockets from close to the equator, apparently.

01:07:42.000 I didn't know that until recently.

01:07:44.000 It makes sense.

01:07:45.000 But he's also saying, you know, if you could get to Liberty City from Cuba, then, you know, you'll get a passport or get a green card if you can find a job or if they can train you or something.

01:07:58.000 And I do think that sending illegal immigrants from the United States, people that are not, or illegal immigrants that are here in the United States that We shouldn't be here, particularly if they're criminals. 0.97

01:08:08.000 Send them to Gitmo.

01:08:09.000 I don't have any kind of problem with that.

01:08:10.000 I think it's a good use of the installation.

01:08:15.000 Do they have to take a boat over and see if they make it or not?

01:08:18.000 Or do we give them a plane ride?

01:08:19.000 Maybe this is where they host that ice reality show.

01:08:22.000 I was thinking a raft made of Coca-Cola bottles.

01:08:26.000 Yeah, just screw the caps on, tie those bad boys together.

01:08:30.000 What's the meme?

01:08:30.000 It's like waterboarding on Guantanamo Bay sounds sick until you think about it.

01:08:35.000 Yeah, right.

01:08:36.000 What do you think?

01:08:37.000 Do you think that that's out of the question?

01:08:38.000 And I understand as a Ron Paul guy, you're kind of like, eh, I don't know.

01:08:42.000 But what do we do with the illegal immigrants that are here, particularly the dangerous ones? 1.00

01:08:48.000 And what would you say about how do we get rid of them if we should, if it were up to you?

01:08:54.000 I would say send them back from where they came from. 0.96

01:08:58.000 I get that there are some countries that don't want to take them back, and I get it. 0.54

01:09:01.000 I don't want them in my country either. 0.99

01:09:02.000 So, that said...

01:09:05.000 They're not our problem.

01:09:07.000 Well, here they are.

01:09:09.000 Well, they're our problem now, but I want them to no longer be our problem.

01:09:15.000 So in terms of Gitmo, I was a huge skeptic of Gitmo until I saw what governors were doing to people in 2020, and then I sort of took on the Michael Malice perspective of it, of governors to Gitmo at that point.

01:09:27.000 But that said...

01:09:31.000 I'm not fundamentally opposed to the idea of just shipping them off to a foreign installation that we have. 1.00

01:09:40.000 Look, the reality is this.

01:09:42.000 We need to get them out of the United States one way or another. 1.00

01:09:46.000 And things that we can do, there's things that we can do at the state level.

01:09:51.000 There's a federal program called 287G that makes it to where...

01:09:55.000 ICE can deputize local and state law enforcement for purposes of immigration enforcement.

01:10:01.000 What a force multiplier that could be.

01:10:04.000 And something along those lines is something that we can absolutely do in order to help out with that because one of the things that we have is we have a volume issue.

01:10:11.000 As I mentioned, the conservative estimate is 11 to 15 million.

01:10:16.000 There's estimates that go as high up into the 40 millions.

01:10:19.000 So we need to crack down on illegal immigration.

01:10:22.000 I think that's largely...

01:10:24.000 State and federal partnerships, partnerships with four nations.

01:10:28.000 El Salvador is, in my view, doing God's work in helping us with making sure that criminal legal immigrants are deported as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

01:10:38.000 Unfortunately, our own courts are not necessarily doing that, especially given the Supreme Court decision today.

01:10:43.000 Now, that was a narrow holding where they just said that the notice was insufficient.

01:10:48.000 So it was a setback.

01:10:50.000 That said, President Trump seems absolutely adamant about getting as many illegal immigrants out as humanly possible.

01:10:57.000 Part of that, I think, as well, though, is making sure that we're focused on defending our own borders and not the borders of foreign nations, right?

01:11:04.000 We're spending so much money abroad, we're not really focusing on the internal.

01:11:08.000 And I can think of an empire that collapsed under similar circumstances.

01:11:11.000 So we shouldn't send them to Libya? 0.99

01:11:13.000 If they're from Libya. 0.75

01:11:15.000 No, no, I mean...

01:11:16.000 But the story we're talking about, go back to go full circle, is Palestinians going to Libya.

01:11:22.000 Oh, it's not happening.

01:11:24.000 Not happening?

01:11:25.000 The White House has denied it.

01:11:28.000 I think it's the media just trying to get clicks, concocting a story because...

01:11:35.000 You just look to their ratings.

01:11:37.000 Well, Israel gets a lot of clicks.

01:11:39.000 Any story about Gaza, any story about Israel, it'll get people to click on it and get people to talk about it.

01:11:43.000 So what is the actual benefit?

01:11:46.000 So you're saying that the idea would be to ship people that are here illegally now to...

01:11:51.000 Was it Libya?

01:11:54.000 No, there are some people that are...

01:11:56.000 I'm sorry, to Guantanamo.

01:11:59.000 I think that it's a good idea to send criminal aliens that are... 1.00

01:12:04.000 So they're still legally under your jurisdiction but away from the American people? 0.70

01:12:09.000 Yeah.

01:12:09.000 Okay.

01:12:10.000 Is that because we can't get them, the countries they're from won't take them back? 1.00

01:12:14.000 If they're criminals, if they've committed violent crimes here in the U.S. and we can't get their country of origin to take them back, we should send them to Guantanamo Bay.

01:12:23.000 Because the other country won't take them back?

01:12:25.000 Because the other country won't take them back.

01:12:26.000 Any country that'll accept the... 0.71

01:12:29.000 Illegal aliens here, send them back to their own country. 1.00

01:12:31.000 If the country won't give us hassle, if they're like, yeah, fine, land here, they're not criminals, or whatever, they can go do whatever they want, that's fine with me, that's the best option.

01:12:43.000 People that are criminals, people that have committed crimes here, or that are gang members, that their host, their countries of origin don't want them back, then ship them to Gitmo. 0.54

01:12:56.000 You know, lock them up in there.

01:12:58.000 That's, in my opinion, the best option there.

01:13:01.000 Get them away from the American people. 0.96

01:13:04.000 Prevent them from being able to hurt the American people anymore.

01:13:06.000 And then, we've talked about this on the show a bunch, but for people that are not criminals, that are just here, that are not filing criminals or whatever, that are just here illegally, that's their crime, that I think we should, you know, ratchet up the pressure on them to make themselves the port.

01:13:21.000 So, start.

01:13:22.000 Making sure that—start doing ice raids, doing more ice raids to business owners.

01:13:29.000 Start making sure that if you own a business—put the word out—if you own a business and you hire illegal aliens, knowingly hire illegal aliens, you're going to lose your business. 0.71

01:13:38.000 The government will take it.

01:13:40.000 Because the consequences have to be bad.

01:13:43.000 Yeah.

01:13:43.000 Because there's a lot of— But all you're doing is paying a fine that's—they just take that as cost-benefit analysis.

01:13:48.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:13:49.000 Because right now the situation is it's— It's significantly less expensive to pay illegals to work than it is to pay Americans because you don't have all the taxes that go along with it. 0.71

01:14:00.000 The illegals will work for cheap because they'll live in a significantly – their living conditions – they'll have significantly lower living conditions than normal Americans, and they'll send half their money back home. 0.98

01:14:12.000 And that money, when they get back to their – Their country of origin in 10 years after they've been saving or whatever, they'll live like kings.

01:14:19.000 You know, the amount of money that you need to send back to Guatemala or whatever to have a really, really nice lifestyle, it's not a lot.

01:14:27.000 You can go down there, if you can save up 50 grand over 10 years, you know, you can go down there and live really, really well on that kind of money.

01:14:35.000 You can save your, you know, you can make sure that your mom's taking care of, your family's taking care of.

01:14:38.000 Your wife and kids, if you're able to let them come over so they take care of the families like that.

01:14:42.000 Yeah, so it's, and it's, it's...

01:14:44.000 You know, it's a strong incentive.

01:14:45.000 So you have to make sure that businesses know if you hire people that are here illegally, you're not just going to get a fine. 0.99

01:14:51.000 You're going to lose your property.

01:14:53.000 You're going to lose your business.

01:14:54.000 Then the goal being those businesses won't hire illegals. 0.99

01:14:59.000 Then the illegals will have a harder time finding work. 0.98

01:15:02.000 More illegals will leave because a lot of the people that are here illegally that are not. 0.99

01:15:07.000 That are actually free, that are not sex trafficked, they're stuck in all the horrible conditions that come along with the coyotes and illegal immigration and all of that.

01:15:18.000 Those people, they're here because they want to work.

01:15:21.000 There is substance to the argument that these people are here because they want to make a better life.

01:15:27.000 And that's true.

01:15:28.000 They want to have a better life for their families and for their families in...

01:15:32.000 You know, the home country.

01:15:33.000 So you need to make it uncomfortable for them to stay.

01:15:36.000 And I think that that's the best option that we have is to to make it uncomfortable by applying pressure to the people that are that are actually hiring them.

01:15:44.000 And it's another thing is it makes the Democrats happy, too, because when you target the illegal immigrants, the Democrats are like, oh, these poor people that are just here trying to blah, blah, blah. 0.59

01:15:53.000 If you target business owners, you know, you can get Democrats.

01:15:56.000 Yeah, they love to.

01:15:58.000 Put the screws to normal, hard-working America.

01:16:02.000 They're fairly consistent on that.

01:16:04.000 They would love to do that.

01:16:05.000 They would like to be able to take your business away for anything.

01:16:07.000 Yeah, you know?

01:16:08.000 Whether you're not meeting a net zero or any other thing.

01:16:12.000 They would love to do that.

01:16:13.000 Exactly. 0.94

01:16:13.000 One rat. 0.94

01:16:14.000 One cockroach.

01:16:15.000 Come on.

01:16:16.000 Well, I mean, that is the standard MO of the left is if you don't meet the standards, they want to punish you.

01:16:24.000 So I actually do disagree with the notion that the left is consistent on their opposition to business.

01:16:30.000 I think that they are perfectly fine with massive corporations stamping out mom-and-pop shops.

01:16:36.000 I think fundamentally their model is designed to centralize economic power, and whether that be all economic power in the state, obviously that's their preference.

01:16:44.000 But they'll settle for all economic power in the hands of a select few.

01:16:49.000 They'll settle for that.

01:16:50.000 I mean I feel like at a certain point there's – when you have a business leader to point out they don't like that.

01:16:57.000 So they look at Jeff Bezos as Satan.

01:16:59.000 They look at Elon Musk as Satan.

01:17:01.000 They're critical of the head, the face of a big business without really maybe being consistent in how they view their policies as affecting big business.

01:17:11.000 And I think one of the ways that's turned around the most in the last 10 years is their reliance on big pharma and how they've completely shifted.

01:17:17.000 The left used to be the – The side of crunchies and homeopathic remedies and all of that type of stuff.

01:17:23.000 Whereas now, that type of belief system is intrinsically right-wing.

01:17:28.000 Whereas they love pharmaceuticals and they love the pharmaceutical industry and trust the science and stuff like that.

01:17:34.000 So it's shifted there.

01:17:35.000 But I do agree that there is a certain...

01:17:38.000 It happened during COVID when they were talking about everyone's okay with Walmart being open, but your local grocery store, that's just a step too far.

01:17:47.000 Right.

01:17:47.000 And that's kind of the entire point there, right?

01:17:50.000 They love Pfizer.

01:17:52.000 They love Moderna.

01:17:54.000 They love Amazon.

01:17:55.000 Democrats love voting for subsidies for these mega corporations. 0.68

01:17:59.000 They love doing that because it's more opportunity to spend.

01:18:02.000 It's more opportunity to stamp out the opportunity for you as an average American to grow.

01:18:08.000 And fortunately, we're getting to that point where...

01:18:10.000 The lid's blown off of it.

01:18:12.000 I mean that shows a certain level of like incongruity with their party because there's also a large sector of leftists and you know far leftists who don't like Jeff Bezos and don't like big business and like if you go and look up anything about them online you know it's going to be them talking about how evil Amazon is and I always thought that was interesting given the fact that you would think that they would love the idea that it's providing jobs for people or the reach they have to now.

01:18:39.000 deliver something to you in set period of time almost anywhere in the country.

01:18:44.000 And that's probably more a side effect of the schism in the party.

01:18:48.000 Sure, and that is one thing to consider.

01:18:53.000 That said, I take one's words as one thing and I take their actions as another.

01:18:58.000 Bernie Sanders loves speaking out against war, but the only thing he loves more than speaking out against war is he loves to vote to fund it.

01:19:09.000 That's one of those...

01:19:10.000 I've never looked into his votes when it comes to...

01:19:12.000 Every war.

01:19:14.000 He has voted to fund every single war that we are currently in.

01:19:18.000 Every single war Barack Obama started.

01:19:20.000 Every single war George Bush started.

01:19:22.000 Every war that I have seen in my lifetime, Bernie Sanders has voted to fund it.

01:19:26.000 Every single time. 1.00

01:19:27.000 So my opinion of Bernie Sanders is that he's a coward.

01:19:31.000 Do you think that that's because he's afraid to take on the Democrats and actually stand up to them? 0.81

01:19:35.000 I mean, he says that he's independent, but he still falls in line.

01:19:40.000 He caucuses with the Democrats and he falls in line with the Democrats pretty regularly.

01:19:45.000 I'm not aware of him kind of doing the Ron Paul thing where he stands up and says, no, I'm not going to fall in line here.

01:19:51.000 I think Bernie Sanders genuinely believes in the global neocon consensus.

01:19:57.000 I think he does.

01:19:58.000 And the reason why is he comes from a sect of the left that is fundamentally pro-war.

01:20:03.000 The only time the American left was anti-war was during the Cold War era.

01:20:07.000 And it wasn't because it was war.

01:20:09.000 It was because it was opposition to communism.

01:20:11.000 That's the only time in world history where the left was anti-war.

01:20:15.000 Before that, the right was the anti-war party.

01:20:18.000 That's where you had Robert Taft.

01:20:20.000 That's where you had the America First committees.

01:20:23.000 That's part of the Cold War.

01:20:31.000 The reason why they were against Vietnam was because the mission was to stop the spread of communism into it, right?

01:20:37.000 Is Korea part of the Cold War as well?

01:20:38.000 Yes.

01:20:39.000 Because North Korea is – Anything after World War II until the fall of the Soviet Union. 0.89

01:20:45.000 It was always the right that was expressing skepticism.

01:20:48.000 And you can see that revival of the old right with Donald Trump talking about ending the endless wars.

01:20:54.000 J.D. Vance, Rand Paul, Thomas Massey, Ron Paul.

01:20:58.000 There's Pat Buchanan in the 90s teaming up with Murray Rothbard to create a paleo-libertarian, paleo-conservative alliance to ensure that there was a – I mean, we can think about it at the state level as well.

01:21:19.000 I'm the primary co-sponsor of a bill bringing our troops home has been given called Defend the Guard that says that National Guardsmen cannot be deployed into foreign combat zones unless Congress declares war.

01:21:30.000 It's all Republicans who are introducing that bill.

01:21:32.000 And it's almost always Democrats who are the most vocal opponents of it, other than the...

01:21:39.000 Instead, I picture Bernie Sanders watching Saving Private Ryan in full metal jacket before he goes to vote.

01:21:47.000 So, to bring it back around to the Middle East and to Israel, NBC News is reporting disagreements on Iran-Gaza straining Trump-Netanyahu relationship.

01:21:59.000 Now, this should make a lot of the Israel skeptical people quite happy because one of the things that they wanted to see out of Donald Trump was a more of an America first...

01:22:12.000 And they've been of the opinion that Donald Trump was very deferential to Israel.

01:22:19.000 I don't think that I had that same sense, but, you know, considering the group of people that we're talking about, it's not a surprise that they had that opinion.

01:22:26.000 NBC News reports Washington.

01:22:28.000 When President Donald Trump took office in January, he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were closely aligned on how to approach the most pressing issues in their relationship, the war in Gaza and aggression from Iran.

01:22:42.000 Trump lifted a hold the Biden administration to put on sending large bombs to Israel.

01:22:46.000 He encouraged Israeli military operations to finish the job against Hamas in Gaza.

01:22:51.000 He agreed with Netanyahu on confronting Iran and its proxy groups in the region. 0.97

01:22:55.000 But in recent weeks, the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu has become strained as the two leaders are increasingly at odds over a strategy for tackling these challenges now that Hamas has been significantly degraded and Iran weakened.

01:23:08.000 According to two U.S. officials, two Middle Eastern diplomats, and two other people with knowledge of the tensions.

01:23:15.000 Where Netanyahu sees an opportunity to finally take out Iran's nuclear facility, Trump sees an opportunity to remove the threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon by making a deal.

01:23:24.000 As Israel hits Gaza with new military offensive, Trump is pushing for a ceasefire and looking to implement his post-war plan for rebuilding the area into a riviera of the Middle East.

01:23:36.000 And after Trump halted the U.S. military campaign against the Iranian-backed Houthi militant group, a shock Netanyahu said Israel would defend itself.

01:23:46.000 What do you guys think?

01:23:47.000 Do you think that there is daylight between Netanyahu and Donald Trump?

01:23:51.000 Is this just Donald Trump believing that the United States' interests don't align perfectly with Israel's interests?

01:23:57.000 I am of the opinion that Iran cannot be trusted. 1.00

01:24:01.000 Now, that doesn't mean that we need to have a war with Iran, but I don't believe that a deal on a nuclear Iran is something that will actually – that Iran will keep its word on.

01:24:14.000 No government.

01:24:16.000 If we sign something, we would still be doing something secret.

01:24:19.000 I have no faith that if they said, no, we're not going to do anything.

01:24:23.000 We can monitor them.

01:24:25.000 If we do inspections, then maybe?

01:24:27.000 They still have secret sites probably down the road somewhere else.

01:24:30.000 I would assume any deal that the United States were to sign would have...

01:24:35.000 Excuse me.

01:24:36.000 It would have inspectors involved that they would have to go in there and verify that they were not enriching uranium past a certain level.

01:24:46.000 Because it has to be like...

01:24:48.000 To make nuclear power, I think it only has to be like 20% or something like that.

01:24:54.000 Very low.

01:24:55.000 But to make an actual weapon, you have to be like 90% enriched or something.

01:24:59.000 And they would also have to give us like...

01:25:01.000 Ability to fly over there so we can use monitors and radars.

01:25:04.000 I imagine it would be a third party.

01:25:07.000 It wouldn't be Americans. 1.00

01:25:08.000 Okay, sure.

01:25:09.000 Usually it's the International Atomic Energy.

01:25:13.000 It's going to be the Jews. 1.00

01:25:14.000 You're like, we found a spot!

01:25:15.000 The Jews! 0.93

01:25:17.000 Yeah, they're going to be the ones doing it.

01:25:19.000 No, but I mean, historically when it came to inspectors, the inspectors would be sent by a third party, oftentimes the UN.

01:25:26.000 But yeah, do you guys think that this is showing light in between Israel and the US?

01:25:31.000 Do you think that this matters or?

01:25:36.000 Look, Israel has to act in its own self-interest. 0.92

01:25:39.000 America has to act in its own interest as well.

01:25:41.000 And the reality is President Trump's break from the endless use of hostility abroad.

01:25:51.000 No matter where this is, whether it's the Middle East, whether it's Eastern Europe with the situation in the Ukraine, right?

01:25:58.000 We are seeing a new generation where we're getting back to utilizing diplomacy rather than belligerence at the global scale.

01:26:08.000 And I don't think what Israel is doing really has anything to do with what Donald Trump is trying to do here.

01:26:14.000 I think Trump is just doing what Trump does best on this.

01:26:20.000 The deal-making process.

01:26:21.000 Look, we've got to be realists here.

01:26:24.000 The international deals are deals between governments.

01:26:28.000 These are monopolies on force.

01:26:29.000 These are the most dishonest, fraudulent entities that have graced the existence of the planet.

01:26:37.000 We should still focus on diplomacy.

01:26:39.000 That being said, understand that distrust is fundamentally part of international relations.

01:26:45.000 Stuxnet 2. Let's just do that.

01:26:47.000 Did we do that?

01:26:49.000 I mean, isn't that like the common consensus is America and...

01:26:52.000 I thought it was the Jews! 1.00

01:26:53.000 ...and Israel?

01:26:54.000 Yeah, it's both.

01:26:56.000 What is Snuxnet?

01:26:57.000 It was like a cyber weapon, right?

01:26:59.000 Yeah, it was...

01:26:59.000 So it was a worm that...

01:27:01.000 It was a computer virus that essentially made the centrifuges spin at a rate where they broke themselves.

01:27:09.000 So it was surprisingly effective.

01:27:12.000 I guess it was in...

01:27:13.000 In the computers for a long, long time, sitting dormant until they finally...

01:27:18.000 This is real life?

01:27:19.000 Pardon me?

01:27:20.000 This is real life and something happened?

01:27:21.000 Yes, this is real life, Raymond.

01:27:23.000 I mean, I'm just saying, this sounds kind of...

01:27:25.000 I thought you were talking about a movie, you were talking to Brett.

01:27:26.000 Did you know that the Israelis spent like a decade selling beepers? 0.55

01:27:32.000 I've heard, yes, sure.

01:27:34.000 And blew a bunch of dicks off? 0.95

01:27:35.000 Yeah, like 1500 or something like that.

01:27:36.000 It was hilarious.

01:27:38.000 I'm sorry.

01:27:41.000 I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious.

01:27:46.000 I mean, what a bet to go long that they're still going to be using pagers 10 years later.

01:27:53.000 Well, they infiltrated their communications so thoroughly.

01:27:58.000 Hamas was like, well, we kind of have to do this. 0.96

01:28:02.000 And the Jews were like, yo, check this out. 0.99

01:28:04.000 We'll sell you some pagers.

01:28:06.000 We'll help you out, buddy.

01:28:08.000 So are you of the opinion that this is a strained relationship, or do you just think that this is the cost of doing business when you're an international superpower like America is?

01:28:17.000 I think Netanyahu's a hawk.

01:28:19.000 I think Netanyahu sees that they have been successful in their military campaign in Gaza, and they have been successful in weakening Iran, and now Netanyahu believes that he can—he believes that— If it were the United States and Israel striking, he could at least take out Iran's nuclear capabilities for a long time. 0.86

01:28:49.000 I don't know how long, but I'm thinking in the order of decades.

01:28:53.000 And that's more for their own self-preservation than for America's self-preservation, given the location?

01:28:59.000 Well, yes.

01:29:00.000 So, the Saudis don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon either, right?

01:29:04.000 Like, Iran is the major destabilizing force in the Middle East, right? 1.00

01:29:11.000 You have all these Arab countries that have signed on to the Abraham Accords.

01:29:16.000 Trump's trying to get the Saudis to sign on to the Abraham Accords. 0.57

01:29:19.000 And to be honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised if they did sign on to the Abraham Accords. 1.00

01:29:22.000 Recognize their tutorial and normalize relations.

01:29:26.000 That would be a considerably big deal.

01:29:29.000 The Abraham Accords already are Nobel Peace Prize worthy.

01:29:33.000 He should have got them for sure.

01:29:34.000 Yeah, Trump should have got it.

01:29:36.000 We were talking about it last night, and he's not going to get it because of who actually is on the Nobel Committee.

01:29:41.000 They're Europeans that don't like Trump and don't like the fact that Trump is kind of an America First guy.

01:29:47.000 But even still, it was unprecedented that there was the Abraham Accords at all.

01:29:53.000 And so the attempt...

01:29:55.000 That Trump is making to get more countries, specifically Saudi Arabia, onto the Abraham Accords.

01:30:01.000 He probably would try to get Syria, which is kind of crazy considering just a month ago the president of Syria had a $10 million bounty on his head from the United States and then Trump just met with him.

01:30:14.000 So that's a little crazy.

01:30:16.000 But I don't think that it's out of the question to get...

01:30:25.000 Iran is the country that is paying Hezbollah or was paying, you know, funding Hezbollah and sending them weapons.

01:30:32.000 And Hezbollah is not just like, when you say a militia, like, you think kind of like, you know, dudes with...

01:30:37.000 You kind of think of Afghans, right?

01:30:40.000 Those dudes, like the Mujahideen. 0.99

01:30:43.000 That's not what Hezbollah is.

01:30:45.000 Hezbollah has actual missiles and rockets, and they're a legitimate fighting force.

01:30:50.000 Closer to the Houthis than Hamas. 0.98

01:30:53.000 But Iran still pays the families of suicide bombers and stuff like that.

01:30:58.000 So the major destabilizing force in the Middle East is Iran. 1.00

01:31:03.000 So I know that...

01:31:06.000 It would be a very bad thing if Iran got a nuclear weapon. 0.61

01:31:09.000 And I think that the U.S. doesn't like it just as much as...

01:31:14.000 Well, no, I can't say just as much because Israel has an essential question.

01:31:19.000 So for America, it's for the benefit of an ally more than it is a threat against...

01:31:23.000 Multiple allies, but yeah.

01:31:25.000 So, I mean, I don't think that...

01:31:28.000 I do think that Donald Trump likes to do deals.

01:31:31.000 That's where he feels comfortable.

01:31:33.000 Military action is not...

01:31:35.000 He's not from the military.

01:31:37.000 He's shown that he will do it if necessary.

01:31:40.000 But I think that his preference is deals.

01:31:44.000 And I think that he also believes that the United States being such a global powerhouse that they can actually get deals that will produce positive results.

01:31:56.000 Peace through strength.

01:31:57.000 And I'm just happy that Nikki Haley didn't win presents today or Lindsey Graham because we'd already be bombed.

01:32:02.000 Or they would already be.

01:32:04.000 Taken care of.

01:32:05.000 Yeah, so what do you think, COG?

01:32:06.000 Do you think this is the right play?

01:32:09.000 I think deal-making is always preferable to endless wars.

01:32:13.000 I'm part of the generation that would have to fight the wars that Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham would have absolutely wanted to fight.

01:32:20.000 And frankly, Americans sign up for the military to fight for their country, not to fight for the interests of foreign nations and major corporations.

01:32:33.000 That's not what they sign up for.

01:32:35.000 And Americans deserve far better than that.

01:32:37.000 And we see this rise in young Americans fighting for a more sensible foreign policy.

01:32:43.000 And that's a large reason why President Trump did so well among young folks, among Gen Z. is because he just realized that we essentially had a foreign policy that amounted to nothing more than a death cult.

01:32:59.000 Endless wars will end one way or another, whether that be through diplomacy or through nuclear annihilation.

01:33:08.000 Yeah.

01:33:10.000 Yeah.

01:33:12.000 I served when we had no wars and I was, God bless America and God bless no one was fighting then.

01:33:17.000 And that's why I think our recruitment numbers, like if we're not, if you're gonna join the military for just go in some desert and die, Your numbers aren't going to be big.

01:33:26.000 You're not going to get people coming in.

01:33:27.000 But if you're doing it just in case, if something happens, you're ready to defend your land, then we'll get more recruitment going on.

01:33:33.000 I guess I see it as a harder discussion to have with most Americans.

01:33:37.000 Like I said, when I say that my view on foreign policy is utopian, it's the idea that I like the idea of putting America first and then the rest of it let the chips fall where they may.

01:33:47.000 But I understand the world is a lot more complicated than that.

01:33:50.000 And I understand that whatever intervention or interactions going on here is to the benefit of multiple allies to the United States.

01:33:58.000 But I guess just...

01:33:59.000 I think of it as America struggling so much here that so much time and energy is spent on these discussions that it doesn't seem like anything ever changes.

01:34:08.000 As much as Trump has done good in a lot of these things, it's not like it's ever going to go away because there will always be foreign interests that are going to look to America to intervene in some fashion.

01:34:22.000 So I guess it's just one of those things that I have a hard time seeing it out on something like this.

01:34:28.000 Trump's approach to foreign policy through deal-making rather than bombing is probably the best path forward, but it's hard to imagine it'll stay that way because I don't know if we'll ever see that again from...

01:34:41.000 I think it's going to get even more toward diplomacy and non-interventionism.

01:34:46.000 I guess I'm saying like if the left wins again.

01:34:49.000 Like I don't see anyone pushing anti-war on the other side and given how often the presidency switches back and forth and the president's role in foreign policy, it just doesn't seem like you're ever going to have enough time between terms where you're going to see great change made.

01:35:04.000 But I might be blackpilled on that.

01:35:07.000 If the left takes over, you're 100% right.

01:35:09.000 But I can tell you when it comes to young conservatives...

01:35:14.000 These guys grew up listening to Ron Paul.

01:35:17.000 These guys grew up listening to Thomas Massey and Rand Paul talking about the foreign policy consensus.

01:35:23.000 Hearing J.D. Vance say, we don't have to devolve into endless wars.

01:35:27.000 This is a great thing.

01:35:29.000 And I can just think about just a few weeks ago, I was in Washington, D.C. with a bunch of other young legislators with an organization called RunGenZ.

01:35:36.000 And hearing the skepticism of the foreign policy consensus, seeing that there is a breakaway.

01:35:43.000 We're at a turning point where it's no longer cool to be a neocon. 0.52

01:35:49.000 Yeah, dude, kids are done dying overseas for no reason.

01:35:53.000 American youth are over that.

01:35:57.000 All right, so what I'm going to do is we've got one quick thing that we're going to talk about.

01:36:04.000 Oh, my bad.

01:36:07.000 This next story here.

01:36:09.000 Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail with the help from inside our department, Sheriff says.

01:36:15.000 This is developing right now, and it was updated 27 minutes ago.

01:36:20.000 NBC News reports ten inmates escaped from the...

01:36:24.000 The sheriff said in an update.

01:36:43.000 The inmates allegedly started yanking on a cell to pull it off track just before 1230 a.m.

01:36:51.000 The sheriff said in an update.

01:36:52.000 Mayor Celias Phipps Jr. from the Sheriff's Department on Friday evening said that the inmates entered that cell before exiting an adjacent loading dock door and traveling down a side road behind the building.

01:37:06.000 They were able to break open a door, Hudson said.

01:37:09.000 They were still able to exit the jail about 1 a.m. after breaching a wall behind a toilet in the jail.

01:37:16.000 So, what do you guys think?

01:37:17.000 Are we going to blame the woman sheriff? 1.00

01:37:20.000 Just for giggles and grins? 0.99

01:37:22.000 Bill said it here first, ladies and gentlemen.

01:37:24.000 It's the woman's fault. 1.00

01:37:25.000 It is.

01:37:27.000 But no, I mean, this kind of event is a big deal.

01:37:33.000 Especially considering, you know, 10 people escaped.

01:37:36.000 And this is a jail, so it's not a prison, right?

01:37:40.000 If I understand correctly, they're talking about the jail.

01:37:44.000 But if it's an inside job, you know, what does that say about the situation in Orleans Parish and the jails here?

01:37:54.000 If you look at this picture that we've got on display now, they were taunting the...

01:38:01.000 The correctional officers saying things like too easy and what was it?

01:38:06.000 Let's see.

01:38:07.000 We innocent and too easy.

01:38:08.000 Photos released by the sheriff's office show the inside of a cell where the escapee is believed to have happened.

01:38:14.000 Hold on a second.

01:38:14.000 A large hole was cut behind a toilet with phrases such as we innocent and too easy.

01:38:18.000 And you can look.

01:38:19.000 These are, you know, they're taunting the tongue out.

01:38:23.000 I saw that it said that like four of the people that escaped were on trial for murder.

01:38:29.000 Right?

01:38:29.000 Did I read that correctly?

01:38:31.000 You said that earlier, but...

01:38:32.000 Like, if so, why were they?

01:38:34.000 Like, is it because they were remanded to custody while on trial?

01:38:37.000 Yeah, I mean...

01:38:38.000 If so, then they're just making this, like, you could go to trial and potentially win.

01:38:43.000 Now you're definitely going to jail for escaping prison.

01:38:46.000 It's likely.

01:38:46.000 No impulse control.

01:38:48.000 I think that it's likely they actually committed the murders, maybe.

01:38:51.000 Is that why they bounced out?

01:38:53.000 How do you break that against the wall?

01:38:55.000 They did pretty good.

01:38:56.000 That's supposed to be bolted in there, secure, but they took it out.

01:39:01.000 Allegedly...

01:39:01.000 Must be an old prison.

01:39:02.000 Allegedly, it was possible that there was an inside job.

01:39:08.000 They gave them a screwdriver.

01:39:09.000 Thin people only escaping from that, though. 0.76

01:39:11.000 Yeah, see the bars? 0.96

01:39:12.000 No fat people allowed to get out. 0.58

01:39:14.000 Yeah, I don't imagine that... 0.99

01:39:15.000 Don't be racist.

01:39:17.000 Wait a minute, there's no racist talking about fat people? 0.94

01:39:21.000 I'm being weightist here.

01:39:22.000 What are you talking about?

01:39:23.000 That's ableist. 0.99

01:39:24.000 Because if you're fat, you're disabled, right? 1.00

01:39:26.000 That's the rule. 0.80

01:39:27.000 Just reminds me, you should go watch the show Prison Break and the show Breakout Kings, which was fantastic.

01:39:33.000 They have great seasons.

01:39:34.000 Like two or three, right?

01:39:36.000 When asked by a reporter if power tools had been used, Chief of Correction Jay Mallett said it was something the department was looking into.

01:39:42.000 That's how they took it down.

01:39:45.000 It's like the middle of the night and the guy's just running a jackhammer.

01:39:50.000 You know?

01:39:51.000 He's like, where did you get a buzzsaw?

01:39:52.000 I ain't seen nothing.

01:39:53.000 From the commissary.

01:39:55.000 And it's concrete, so they know they've got a hammer drill.

01:39:57.000 If it's concrete, they've got to break through it.

01:39:59.000 It's more than just a breach of security.

01:40:01.000 It was some type of help, he said in a news conference.

01:40:03.000 It would definitely be some type of tool used other than just the strength of a sheer individual.

01:40:08.000 So it likely was some kind of power.

01:40:11.000 So it's not even one of those ones where they tie a bunch of floss together and use a pair of scissors?

01:40:16.000 Yeah.

01:40:19.000 Nothing homemade about that tool.

01:40:21.000 The sheriff's office initially said that 11 inmates had escaped.

01:40:25.000 Hudson clarified that one man, Keith Lewis, had been moved to a different cell and was never on the run.

01:40:29.000 So they're not even sure who actually got away.

01:40:32.000 Well, that guy's probably the smartest one because it means he's not definitely going back to jail for this.

01:40:36.000 He's like, man, y 'all go ahead.

01:40:38.000 I'm going to stay here.

01:40:39.000 I don't blame him.

01:40:40.000 I don't blame him.

01:40:42.000 Ten people, they just file out?

01:40:45.000 I mean...

01:40:45.000 Like, how does that even happen?

01:40:47.000 Like, it had to be more than just a couple of people in on this.

01:40:50.000 I mean, I guess, maybe.

01:40:52.000 Jail records show that at least four of the escaped inmates are charged with murder or attempted murder.

01:40:57.000 Charges for the others include aggravated assault with a firearm, armed robbery with a firearm, armed false imprisonment, battery and drug offenses.

01:41:05.000 These dudes all did that. 1.00

01:41:07.000 They all did that shit. 1.00

01:41:09.000 They're not innocent. 1.00

01:41:11.000 Or you're really dumb and you left anyways. 1.00

01:41:15.000 I take it back. 1.00

01:41:17.000 They're all innocent.

01:41:19.000 And this was their choice of action.

01:41:23.000 That's great.

01:41:24.000 Those are crimes that they're, like, presumed to be guilty of.

01:41:27.000 Crimes they're definitely guilty of is leaving the prison when they weren't supposed to.

01:41:31.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:41:32.000 And they didn't watch that show because apparently they were...

01:41:34.000 Well, I mean, they're still free, so maybe...

01:41:35.000 I wanted to end on a light note.

01:41:38.000 All right, so smash the like button.

01:42:30.000 Shane H. Wilder starts off on the Rumble Rants.

01:42:34.000 Prayer up for all my northern homies dealing with the rain and flooding, especially in Maryland.

01:42:39.000 Stay safe and dry out there.

01:42:41.000 It is pretty rough tonight.

01:42:43.000 Is that the case?

01:42:44.000 Did you feel the downburst?

01:42:46.000 The amount of rain earlier was crazy.

01:42:49.000 It was pretty rough in Inwood, but we missed the big one.

01:42:54.000 It was only for a few minutes.

01:42:56.000 There was a lot of wind, though.

01:42:58.000 70 miles per hour.

01:43:01.000 Yeah, it was nuts.

01:43:02.000 It's a mess.

01:43:04.000 Kali for Prez says, I love fill-in Fridays.

01:43:07.000 Thank you very much.

01:43:08.000 I appreciate you.

01:43:10.000 WD Production says, The other day you mentioned that you have supported various veteran programs.

01:43:15.000 I was hoping to get a shout-out for Heroes Never Alone out of Legionnaire, Pennsylvania.

01:43:21.000 We're a growing non-profit with a Give, Send, Go.

01:43:23.000 So that's Give, Send, Go, and it's Heroes Never Alone.

01:43:27.000 And they're out of Legionnaire PA.

01:43:29.000 So give them a shout-out there.

01:43:32.000 It's a great name, too, as well, by the way.

01:43:34.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:43:36.000 Joey Giggles says, Yeah, if you haven't seen it...

01:43:51.000 Adam Ruins Everything was on the Culture Award today, and Tim kind of excoriated him.

01:43:57.000 He was saying that he didn't understand why Tim was saying, oh, if you believe in free speech, you should make a joke about Islam.

01:44:04.000 I think we all know what that'll get you, but he was struggling to come up with a reason why he wouldn't.

01:44:11.000 But it's definitely worth checking out, so head on over to...

01:44:16.000 To Rumble.com and I think it's on Rumble, right?

01:44:18.000 The Culture War is on Rumble as well, right?

01:44:20.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:44:21.000 Yeah, so head on over to Rumble.com and look for The Culture War with Tim Poole and check that out today.

01:44:25.000 Yeah, Adam ruins Culture War podcast.

01:44:29.000 I'm just saying, this is Chuck.

01:44:30.000 He didn't ruin it.

01:44:31.000 He ruins everything, so I heard.

01:44:32.000 That's the rumor mill.

01:44:33.000 The Last of My Kind says, Serge, are you going to shave your head live again to pump up PCC numbers?

01:44:39.000 Also, how the Short Act and Hear Act were gutted is shameful.

01:44:44.000 Well, there's still hope for those.

01:44:45.000 The Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act, there's still hope. 0.90

01:44:48.000 They might get in this weekend.

01:44:50.000 And if not, I will be discussing how we can primary people and how we can support their challengers.

01:44:58.000 So yeah, if this part right here becomes a clip and gets on the old X to let people know that if you do not support the Hearing Protection Act and the Short Act, I will be doing everything I can personally to help your opponents.

01:45:14.000 I'm deaf in one ear and short, so you should support me.

01:45:17.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:45:18.000 Why are you against Brett having guns, man?

01:45:22.000 Pims the Great says, do you think this will call into question all of his pardons, or will the GOP remain on their hands?

01:45:29.000 I have no idea what you're even talking about.

01:45:32.000 Oh, you're talking about the first story with Joe Biden.

01:45:37.000 I think the GOP will remain sitting on their hands.

01:45:40.000 I don't think they're going to do anything about it.

01:45:43.000 But I also think that...

01:45:45.000 Well, I mean, it's possible because Donald Trump was looking into the auto pen stuff, so this might tie into that.

01:45:50.000 This might become evidence in the auto pen stuff, so I don't know.

01:45:55.000 Let's see.

01:45:56.000 A rumble rant.

01:45:58.000 Concrete Haiti says, I say yet again, seeing how utterly lost he was with just that simple question, we must overturn everything done in his presidency.

01:46:07.000 Utterly...

01:46:07.000 Erase everything he did well.

01:46:10.000 The good news is all of the executive orders that he signed, Donald Trump has overturned them all.

01:46:18.000 As for legislation, that was Congress, and I don't think that there's a whole lot we can do about that unless Congress can actually get their S together and actually pass some laws.

01:46:29.000 But I don't have high hopes for that.

01:46:34.000 Let's see.

01:46:35.000 Senator Biscuits says, shout out to TJ.

01:46:39.000 I don't know if you'll remember me, but I knocked on doors for you.

01:46:42.000 I was in Kentucky working for YAL and Brandon introduced me to you.

01:46:47.000 MKGA.

01:46:48.000 Senator Biscuits is his name.

01:46:50.000 So I don't know which individual that is, but tell Brandon to just give my number over to him.

01:46:58.000 And no, thank you guys.

01:47:00.000 And seriously.

01:47:01.000 Door-knocking works.

01:47:03.000 Having that face-to-face conversation with voters is one of the most important things you can do as a candidate for office or as someone who just supports one.

01:47:12.000 That is the easiest way to persuade the voters, and that is truly how you make Liberty win.

01:47:18.000 And organizations like Citizens Alliance, Young Americans for Liberty, which, by the way, Young Americans for Liberty started out as students for Ron Paul.

01:47:28.000 They really perfected that.

01:47:29.000 One of y 'all's previous guests, Cliff Maloney, he is the guru of door knocking.

01:47:35.000 He started a program called Operation Win at the Door.

01:47:39.000 He brings in people to support Champions for Liberty in competitive races.

01:47:45.000 Goodness does it swing these races. 1.00

01:47:47.000 I mean, that's how we got people like Savannah Maddox out of Kentucky, who is, in my view, another protege of Thomas Massey.

01:47:53.000 And the only reason I can see so far is because I stand on giants like her.

01:47:57.000 It's how we get people like Tim Baxter in the New Hampshire house.

01:48:01.000 It's how we get so many awesome, rock-solid fighters.

01:48:05.000 And we're seeing this cultural shift by bringing in these doorknockers and making sure that... 0.99

01:48:10.000 We're not just going off of it entirely who has the R next to their name.

01:48:15.000 We're actually learning what people believe in.

01:48:17.000 If there's one lesson you can learn in politics, don't subscribe to the letter.

01:48:23.000 Goodness, the number of Republicans who have voted for endless spending is shameful.

01:48:28.000 The number of Democrats who claim to be anti-war but then vote to fund every war, as we were just talking about.

01:48:33.000 And I can just think about just one example as well.

01:48:35.000 If you're in Colorado, I mean, my goodness, you're the chairman of your Second Amendment caucus.

01:48:41.000 This guy is the reason that the assault weapons ban just passed.

01:48:45.000 He is, I mean, he also is the sponsor of the bill to allow illegal immigrants to become law enforcement.

01:48:52.000 I am never going to vote to raise taxes ever.

01:49:21.000 You do that, and if you go against that, you're their number one target.

01:49:26.000 That's just one of their pledges.

01:49:27.000 So, thank you guys.

01:49:29.000 Will P says, TJ, given your successful lawsuit against Governor Andy Beshear over church closures during COVID, how should voters view his record on civil liberties as he runs for president?

01:49:42.000 Look, Andy Beshear would be the greatest disaster for civil liberties in my lifetime if he were to become president.

01:49:50.000 You think government weaponization under Biden was bad?

01:49:53.000 It would be worse under Andy Beshear because Andy Beshear isn't senile.

01:49:57.000 He would know full well what he is doing.

01:50:01.000 He would root you out.

01:50:03.000 Just think about it.

01:50:04.000 There was a coffee shop owner who refused to close in November of 2020.

01:50:09.000 We're talking eight months in.

01:50:10.000 We know COVID isn't killing people en masse.

01:50:14.000 We know COVID doesn't know the difference between whether you're at a coffee shop or if you're at Walmart.

01:50:19.000 He says, I'm not shutting down.

01:50:20.000 He criticizes the governor on social media.

01:50:23.000 The governor goes on television and says we're going to make sure he never does business in Kentucky ever again.

01:50:28.000 That's Andy Beshear's legacy.

01:50:30.000 A federal court just unanimously said he's not entitled to qualified immunity on that.

01:50:34.000 Before taking office, I was a lawyer on that case.

01:50:38.000 I'm now screened off because I can't sue executive branch state officials anymore.

01:50:42.000 But let's just think about this.

01:50:45.000 I think they're fun.

01:50:47.000 I wish.

01:50:49.000 There's no fun exception to legislative ethics.

01:50:53.000 Andy Beshear's record on the First Amendment shows a fundamental contempt for it.

01:50:58.000 His record on guns shows a fundamental contempt.

01:51:00.000 And you want to talk about this guy.

01:51:02.000 He doesn't believe in parents' rights.

01:51:04.000 He wants to indoctrinate your children.

01:51:07.000 While he was out stumping for Kamala Harris, he's at a rally in middle-of-the-road Iowa holding up a baby onesie that says Pride Baby.

01:51:16.000 And this guy would be the worst choice.

01:51:21.000 For president in 2028.

01:51:23.000 And that's just an action item is just make sure that Andy Beshear never becomes president ever.

01:51:29.000 All right.

01:51:31.000 Let's see.

01:51:34.000 Sporkwitch says, if she had used, and I think this person is, the Sporkwitch is talking about Kamala Harris.

01:51:40.000 If she had used the 25th Amendment, then she becomes directly associated with and responsible for the failed policies hurting her 2024 run.

01:51:49.000 They needed to be able to blame Biden for everything.

01:51:52.000 I mean...

01:51:52.000 But he was already running.

01:51:54.000 Yeah.

01:51:55.000 Like, that doesn't make any sense to me.

01:51:57.000 Well, yeah, I was going to say beforehand she could have, but we're talking about running, re-running again, so...

01:52:03.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:52:04.000 If it had happened earlier, then less of the policies would have been in place anyways.

01:52:08.000 I'm not sure that...

01:52:08.000 I don't know.

01:52:09.000 I'm not sure that she could have, you know, could have distanced herself enough.

01:52:13.000 I'm saying, like I said earlier, if she had cojones, man, and she was like, if she was as hungry for success and presidency as she, as I think she is, she would have called for it like in 22. Right. 0.97

01:52:24.000 Or 21 when she knew.

01:52:26.000 And then she could have like took over and people would like love her. 0.87

01:52:28.000 Honestly, yeah.

01:52:28.000 And she's a black woman, half, you know what I mean?

01:52:30.000 Mixed lady. 1.00

01:52:31.000 I think that, I mean, she would have had to have had a lot of intestinal fortitude to do that because I don't think the Democrats overall wanted that. 0.57

01:52:39.000 So it would have been a fight.

01:52:40.000 There would have been a fight behind the scenes.

01:52:42.000 I don't think that she would have gotten Nancy Pelosi's blessing.

01:52:45.000 And again, because of who Kamala Harris is, I think that a lot of Democrats were like, look.

01:52:52.000 You don't want President Harris.

01:52:54.000 Because I think it wasn't a secret that she didn't have the ability to make decisions under pressure.

01:53:02.000 She was afraid of making decisions.

01:53:04.000 And so I do think that she might have put more effort into it if she had more intestinal fortitude. 0.90

01:53:13.000 But I don't know that she would have had the support from the Democrats that she would have needed.

01:53:18.000 And that could have got really messy.

01:53:20.000 So, let's see.

01:53:22.000 Eric B says, it would have been political suicide for Kamala.

01:53:25.000 The 25th requires the rest of the cabinet to agree.

01:53:28.000 They weren't going to give up their deep state kingdoms and would have destroyed Kamala for exposing them to the public. 0.72

01:53:33.000 Yeah, I kind of, I don't know, I don't like to try to, you know, Monday morning quarterback stuff that I don't have a whole lot of insider info on, but I do think that it...

01:53:44.000 It takes more than just one person invoking the 25th Amendment to actually follow through and actually remove the president.

01:53:54.000 You know, if the vice president can get, like, the secretary of state on board, then, you know, the secretary of state can probably take the lead.

01:54:02.000 The vice president could say, okay, we're going to do this.

01:54:04.000 The secretary of state can take the lead and be the person that's actually advocating for the vice president, so that way it doesn't seem like a naked power grab by the vice president.

01:54:14.000 Yeah, so, I mean...

01:54:16.000 Go ahead, please.

01:54:17.000 Constitutional lawyer.

01:54:18.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:54:18.000 Section 4 of the 25th Amendment is what we're talking about.

01:54:22.000 So the requisite is the vice president and a majority of the cabinet has to declare that the president at that point is unfit for office. 0.96

01:54:30.000 So the vice president has to initiate it, but also that's one of those things of if you shoot at the king, you better kill him. 0.71

01:54:40.000 You're DOA at that point if you fail on it.

01:54:43.000 But once again, as I said, Kamala Harris did not do that because she knew full well that if she gave the American people a free sample of her presidency, they would take a look at that and just immediately say no thanks. 1.00

01:54:55.000 I mean, that makes sense what you're saying.

01:54:57.000 Like, there's no way—she didn't have the backing of the cabinet at all in any way, shape, or form.

01:55:02.000 Yeah.

01:55:03.000 All right, let's see here.

01:55:05.000 There was one.

01:55:07.000 There we go.

01:55:08.000 This is the guy.

01:55:10.000 Feedjamie1613 says, Watching from the delivery room down under with my beautiful wife waiting on our third daughter, Miley.

01:55:18.000 Keep up the good work, guys.

01:55:20.000 Cheers.

01:55:21.000 Hurrah, brother.

01:55:22.000 Congratulations.

01:55:23.000 Bravo, bravo.

01:55:24.000 Three is great to hear, and we wish you the best.

01:55:27.000 Only seven more.

01:55:28.000 That's right.

01:55:30.000 Let's see.

01:55:32.000 Jacob Jones says, Phil, please tell me you watched him absolutely wipe the floor with Adam.

01:55:36.000 There was nothing today. 0.97

01:55:37.000 Were you screaming at your phone like a psycho like me?

01:55:40.000 No, I watched about half of it, and then I was like, alright, I have other things I have to do.

01:55:44.000 I had to go pick up my car.

01:55:46.000 It was being serviced.

01:55:47.000 You got through half?

01:55:48.000 It was rough.

01:55:50.000 It took me like 20 minutes.

01:55:51.000 I just couldn't do it, dude.

01:55:52.000 It was rough.

01:55:55.000 DerpasaurusRex says, Hey Tim and Phil, when will we get a metal Timcast song?

01:55:59.000 I know it's not your jam, Tim, but hey, trying out something else can be fun.

01:56:02.000 I would really like to hear if Tim has a scream in them somewhere.

01:56:06.000 I would like to know what the Tim Pool scream sounds like.

01:56:11.000 Let's see.

01:56:16.000 SoapyEnigma says, It seems you all forgot the 8645 news cycle.

01:56:20.000 I mean...

01:56:22.000 No.

01:56:23.000 I mean, I know it happened, but that doesn't mean that it would change my opinion.

01:56:27.000 There was a bunch of shirts on Amazon that said 8645.

01:56:31.000 So it's not that we didn't remember.

01:56:34.000 It's just that...

01:56:36.000 The contexts are different, in my opinion.

01:56:39.000 And again, we've all, I think, I'm not sure if...

01:56:42.000 I wasn't paying attention back then, so I had no idea.

01:56:44.000 But, you know, myself and Brett said that we don't think that he was actually saying that it was an actual call to murder.

01:56:55.000 It was irresponsible, and it was bad taste, and I don't have a problem with...

01:57:03.000 The Secret Service checking in to be like, hey, are you sure?

01:57:06.000 And making sure.

01:57:07.000 I don't have a problem with that at all.

01:57:09.000 F Comey.

01:57:10.000 But I don't think that it was actually a call for assassination.

01:57:15.000 So, nana nana boo boo. 1.00

01:57:17.000 Let's see.

01:57:18.000 So, yeah, Phil, I agree.

01:57:19.000 He wasn't like, hey, go do this.

01:57:21.000 He's just like, I'm trying to be cool.

01:57:22.000 Look at me.

01:57:23.000 Yep.

01:57:24.000 Vash says, I don't care about the tax.

01:57:27.000 The registration is a literal infringement on the Fifth Amendment.

01:57:30.000 You are incriminating yourself if the government decides what you own is criminal.

01:57:35.000 Yeah, 100%, man.

01:57:36.000 Look, the worst thing about the NFA is the registration, is all the paperwork.

01:57:45.000 I mean, I know it's easy for, you know, people are going to be like, oh, what do you know?

01:57:48.000 You're a rock star and you got a bunch of money, blah, blah, blah.

01:57:51.000 Well, look, the $200 is, you know, it's onerous to some people.

01:57:55.000 But remember, when the $200 was initially instituted in 1934, it was equal to like five grand.

01:58:02.000 Okay, so it's significantly better now at 200 bucks.

01:58:06.000 But all of it's unconstitutional.

01:58:10.000 Six ways to Sunday.

01:58:11.000 So you're not...

01:58:13.000 You know, you're preaching to the choir here.

01:58:14.000 I mean, I've been the guy that's talking about this stuff, you know, as much as I can here on the show because I think that the whole NFA should be, you know, should be abolished and, I mean, get rid of the ATF too.

01:58:27.000 The FBI can do all that stuff.

01:58:28.000 So, let's see.

01:58:32.000 Did you hear the feds are taking over Rikers Island?

01:58:35.000 Court ruled the place is so bad it was ordered into receivership.

01:58:38.000 Well, I didn't hear that.

01:58:40.000 Is that where they're going to put the people for Alcatraz?

01:58:43.000 I don't know.

01:58:48.000 And I don't think Alcatraz is actually going to happen.

01:58:51.000 That sounds nice.

01:58:52.000 It's so much money to get that going.

01:58:53.000 Yeah.

01:58:54.000 It would be hilarious.

01:58:56.000 I'll spend some money on that.

01:58:59.000 Magnus Rex says...

01:59:01.000 Yo, Phil, did you listen to Sleep Token's new album?

01:59:03.000 I actually started listening to them because you said they were making good stuff, and I must admit, I am hooked.

01:59:08.000 I haven't listened to the whole thing.

01:59:10.000 I've listened to the three songs that have been released, the three singles, and personally, I think they're great.

01:59:17.000 I'm a big fan of Sleep Token.

01:59:20.000 It's not everyone's thing, and if you're looking for just breakdowns, don't...

01:59:25.000 Don't go listening to Sleep Talk and thinking you're going to hear breakdowns.

01:59:29.000 And don't think you're going to go hearing Swedish thrash metal either.

01:59:32.000 It's a totally different vibe.

01:59:34.000 Personally, I think it's really, really cool.

01:59:36.000 Vessel's a great singer.

01:59:37.000 And I think that it comes through really well.

01:59:40.000 Some people are really good singers, but they tune their vibrato out and they're overproduced and stuff.

01:59:46.000 But Vessel is really subtle when it comes to any editing and stuff.

01:59:51.000 It's really good.

01:59:52.000 It's worth checking out.

01:59:53.000 The guy's got a mask too.

01:59:55.000 Yeah.

01:59:56.000 And they've managed to keep their identity secret for, I think, three records now.

02:00:02.000 There's a new band that just dropped a song called President, and they were wearing masks and they were supposed to be secret, and it literally dropped Last Night at Midnight, and the dude that is president, his name's already out.

02:00:13.000 I don't know.

02:00:14.000 I don't remember who he is, but if you go on X, you can find out.

02:00:18.000 It was literally like two seconds.

02:00:20.000 If you're going to wear a mask and try and keep it secret, And then you blow it, especially with all the hype, because Revolver was talking about them.

02:00:27.000 They had been pumping these guys since February, and they had a decent following on Instagram already, and they just totally blew it.

02:00:35.000 So, lame.

02:00:36.000 Anyways.

02:00:39.000 Ty Groot says, can't wait to buy some of Phil Z Coffee.

02:00:43.000 I'm not sure what that is.

02:00:45.000 That's two weeks to Christmas.

02:00:46.000 You can go pick that stuff up, and it's great.
