On this week's show: Eric Swalwell is caught on tape admitting to a massive corruption scandal, the CIA admits to spying on the Trump administration, and President Trump cheers for the Gulf of America at a rally.
00:00:30.000Targeting the Trump family for, well, I don't want to get too much into it, but for inappropriate reasons and talking about cheating on his wife and going after teenagers.
00:00:45.000I don't want to go too much on it just yet because we want to have him break the story down, but published a video where he confronted Eric Swalwell and said there's, I believe, an hour and a half of audio recording in public, in public of Swalwell gloating, laughing, and admitting to how he abuses power, wanted to abuse power, and how he was involved in...
00:01:13.000And Madison Cawthorn warned about how in Congress, in D.C., there's a lot of adults that get together and take their clothes off, if you know what I mean.
00:01:21.000And Swalwell basically is admitting to this.
00:01:37.000I don't know what's on the recordings, but I know that he's got this stuff, and it looks like this is going to be a massive story exposing deep Democrat corruption.
00:01:45.000So, I mean, we've got a lot of stuff to talk about, seriously.
00:01:50.000I don't know if it's a hacker, but at the Housing and Urban Development meeting, somebody blasting all the TV's AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk.
00:01:57.000I've got to admit, kind of funny, but we'll talk about that.
00:02:00.000And then, the story from the other day, but I think it's very relevant now.
00:02:04.000CNN. Wrote a story saying that high-level officials at the CIA are concerned that the layoffs are going to result in people betraying the United States and selling American secrets.
00:02:14.000As if to imply that there are traitors working at the CIA, and they have been for some time, which is really weird for them to admit.
00:02:21.000So we'll get into all of that, plus Trump cheering for the Gulf of America.
00:02:24.000Before we do, my friends, we've got a great sponsor tonight, Tax Network USA. Make sure you guys go to TNUSA.com slash Tim.

00:05:09.000As I already mentioned, joining us tonight to talk about this, and...
00:05:12.000Let's just say this story is Nick Sorter.
00:05:25.000We're talking about an hour and a half of sitting there with Eric Swalwell, a drunk Eric Swalwell, listening to him spill everything to people that he doesn't even know, but they keep buying him drinks and everything.
00:06:19.000So, people may not know this, but you had that post, like, what is it, like a year ago, where you were on a jet ski or something, and you were like, Gulf of America, baby!
00:07:58.000And whether that's a bigger national security threat than Elon Musk.
00:08:00.000I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes.
00:08:03.000He was immediately compromised by a group of lobbyists he'd just met, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for help cheating on his wife.
00:08:27.000Worse, he spoke about abusing his power on the House Intel Committee, which he's since been booted off of, saying he pushed to subpoena Ivanka Trump because she's hot AF. This guy must be removed from the Homeland Security Committee.
00:08:38.000He cannot keep his freaking mouth shut.
00:08:40.000After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.
00:08:51.000Now, this video, it's got 30,000 retweets already, 10 million views.
00:08:56.000Well, this is just a video of Swalwell being questioned.
00:08:58.000So as I understand it, as we are getting ready for the show, you've got recordings, and you've got photos.
00:09:08.000Of him in this public event, and my understanding is you are sitting in a public place, minding your own business when he sits down, again, in a public place, and then just starts bloviating.
00:09:24.000I just wanted to go somewhere close to where I was staying at the time.
00:09:27.000Let's just say I'm going to move from where that location was because, you know, after you do something like this, you know, they're like watching to see where I'm going and stuff, and it was just, it was a little bit, A little bit weird.
00:10:04.000My phone, you know, I was talking to my girlfriend, we were talking about the German elections, and, you know, we were going to do a video, and so I sit here, and all I did, I had my phone recording, and it's directly in front of me, but my phone was able to hear literally everything that was going on in the direct vicinity, and the guy was screaming.
00:10:21.000It's like everybody in the restaurant was able to hear what he was saying, and he didn't care.
00:10:25.000I don't know, you know, I don't know if he was drunk before he got there, or they got him drunk once he got there.
00:10:31.000I mean, he only had, you know, he had a few...
00:10:33.000He whines, but he started just going off, just spouting off immediately as he got there.
00:11:05.000He was on the House Intelligence Committee.
00:11:07.000And can you give us a little background of what this guy's involved with and why this story is so big?
00:11:14.000Yeah, and so years ago, one of the things that Eric Swalwell was most famous for was dating a chick named Fang Fang, or Fang Fang, whatever you want to say, who ended up being a Chinese spy.
00:11:27.000He dated her for a long time, and it was finally outed.
00:11:32.000The only good thing that Kevin McCarthy ever did was kick Swalwell off of the Intelligence Committee.
00:11:37.000But the problem is now he's still on the Homeland Security Committee, which is a problem, which means he's got a clearance.
00:11:43.000That means he's getting confidential information.
00:11:45.000And all it takes for him to start spouting off to random people that he just met, he didn't know these lobbyist names.
00:11:52.000They had to tell him their names when he first met them.
00:11:55.000And it took maybe 10 minutes for him to start divulging information about him trying to cheat on his wife.
00:12:30.000It is funny, and people make fun of him for it.
00:12:32.000But most people don't know who this guy is or why it matters.
00:12:35.000Here he is on MSNBC accusing Donald Trump of cheating or trying to by soliciting support from the Ukrainians that resulted in his impeachment.
00:12:43.000Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election.
00:12:47.000And the complaint that I've heard from Republican taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election.
00:12:52.000Okay, that guy farted on TV. I mean, look, he paused.
00:13:04.000Well, yeah, admitting to abusing power, but one of the first things he said to this guy, this lobbyist that he had just met, was talking about how he was bored of his wife, and how he wants somebody more ambitious, and he only wants to fuck...
00:14:07.000In March 2022, she died in that plane crash.
00:14:10.000But my entire point behind talking about this and why I think that it's such a big deal is because if he is willing to say these things to people he just met, doesn't know, didn't even know their names, what did he tell somebody like Fang Fang?
00:14:24.000Speaker Johnson needs to do something.
00:14:51.000But one of the biggest concerns that I had listening to that conversation...
00:14:58.000Was him talking about his time on the Intelligence Committee and how he wanted to literally subpoena Ivanka Trump because she was, you know, hot, hot...
00:15:08.000AF. Yeah, hot AF. But actually saying the words and then going on and on about it.
00:15:14.000He was talking about how, well, you know, we originally subpoenaed Jared Kushner, but, you know, I pushed to try to get Ivanka Trump in there, too, because, man, she's just hot as...
00:17:00.000Like, you want to comment on the fact that you don't want to bang your wife anymore because you want to bang tens in D.C.? I asked him that as he was walking.
00:19:19.000But, you know, they didn't expect to hit Musk.
00:19:21.000But the point is, it was a violent attack on something that was representative of Elon Musk.
00:19:26.000There was the whole, I don't know what the deal surrounding the bomb in Vegas, the Tesla truck, but...
00:19:33.000In this environment, in this climate, having people in positions of authority, and again, being in Congress does make a difference as to what you say.
00:19:43.000We do have the freedom of speech, but if you're in a position of authority, you have to be careful what you're saying when it comes to things like violent rhetoric.
00:19:52.000If it's a Republican that says these kind of things, people on the left are doing all they can to have as...
00:20:00.000Damaging repercussions happen as possible, and I think the same standard should be held to the Democrats.
00:20:07.000And I mean, you go to these protests now, because I'm in D.C. a lot, and I go to these protests on Capitol Hill.
00:20:11.000You see, every single time at this point, you see somebody, there's this one woman that goes every time wearing a Luigi hat with an anti-Elon Musk sign.
00:20:18.000You know exactly what she's calling for.
00:20:20.000She's openly doing it, and nothing is done about it, because, you know, you...
00:20:25.000Well, there's no imminent threat created.
00:20:27.000I know, and so, but these people are being emboldened.
00:20:30.000They're going, I don't know if you saw this yesterday, where luckily we have Eagle Ed Martin, the new U.S. There's another woman that's going viral right now where she was saying something to the effect of, You know, we all know what needs to be done.
00:20:57.000And then like there's tons of these videos where they try to use innuendo to call for violence.
00:21:01.000But it does look like we got Dan and Cash and they're going to be taking these things more seriously.
00:21:08.000This administration, of course, is going to take things much more seriously.
00:21:11.000And I think you mentioned in response that went on TikTok calling for harm to Elon Musk, a U.S. attorney directly responded saying, we're going to get...
00:21:48.000The videos where they go to Walmart and they jump up on the counter and then they slam the milk on the ground and they dump it all over themselves while screaming because it gets views.
00:21:57.000These people on TikTok and other platforms calling for violence are doing it.
00:22:00.000For many of them, not all of them, but many of them, for that reason.
00:22:03.000Because they know it'll get them attention.
00:22:21.000So I was down at the border investigating, you know, down there and showing how easy it was to go back and forth between Mexico and the United States.
00:22:27.000You know, you just walk around the fences during the Biden administration.
00:22:31.000I'm like, okay, so, you know, why can't you post things calling for the assassination of a government official, but I can't show the border wall?
00:22:39.000I'm going to assume that I did delete that video she posted.
00:22:41.000Because if it's still up, that'd be surprising.
00:22:43.000Well, actually, she removed her own account.
00:23:12.000OK, so if you want to entertain a website.
00:23:15.000Or a mobile app, whatever, that is going to make sure 13 million people are going to keep being fed gender ideology and wokeness, and then 600,000 are allowed to get anti-woke stuff.
00:24:30.000And then just the other day, I don't know why, but they said we are permanently banned once again from TikTok.
00:24:35.000They have an algorithm that feeds based on location, and they were feeding this teenager in Long Island train suicide videos, and then he stepped in front of a train.
00:24:46.000And his parents are trying to sue TikTok, but this is what happened.
00:24:51.000This is what they saw fit to feed this boy.
00:24:59.000I think it's a, you know, I understand all your slippery slope arguments, but like, get it off our phones, get it out of our kids' hands, get it out of our brains.
00:25:07.000Right, and you know, one of the arguments that people say is, oh, well, you know, just, you know, if they give you a violation, take down your video, just appeal it, and it'll go back up.
00:25:14.000Okay, well, you've already killed the, they'll wait 24 hours, 48 hours, and maybe they'll put it back up, but that distribution is already killed, so it's not going to go anywhere anymore.
00:25:21.000They will silence you and make sure that whatever you post is out of the news cycle by the time that they even let you.
00:25:29.000Trump's got financial interests around him that are defending TikTok for no legitimate reason as far as I can tell.
00:25:36.000So Charlie Kirk and Trump have done a hard 180 on TikTok with no explanation.
00:25:40.000He does amazing work, some of the best work in politics.
00:25:43.000He, along with Scott Pressler, did tremendous to help Trump win.
00:25:46.000I think the Trump administration has been fantastic.
00:25:48.000That being said, I still have never been given a legitimate reason from Charlie or Trump or anyone defending TikTok as to why they did a 180. Nothing's changed.
00:26:03.000Well, you would think that rather than face the total shutdown of your app, you know, if there was actually, if we're talking about a legitimate business here, why not go through and sell it for $100 billion to a U.S. company?
00:26:16.000At the end of the day, what are they going to do?
00:26:29.000TikTok chose to disable their servers for users and then chose to turn them back on because the bill just removed it from the Play stores and from U.S. servers, which didn't affect them.
00:26:41.000They pulled a stunt to be like, we're taking down Sari.
00:28:13.000Officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development said the individual has been identified, although they didn't name them or reveal how the hacker managed to infiltrate the government television system in the cafeteria at the agency's headquarters.
00:28:23.000So I'm going to go and assume the person worked there.
00:29:12.000I mean, it really shows you how deranged these people are.
00:29:15.000I mean, how much you want to bet this person didn't respond to that email?
00:29:18.000Look, feet people are deranged right off the bat.
00:29:23.000Just if you're into feet, you're kind of weird, right?
00:29:25.000I think you're weird generating that, to be honest.
00:29:27.000If you're going to AI generate that, it's pretty weird.
00:29:30.000I'd like to agree with you, but the standard of what qualifies as weird these days has gone so far away from feet that you would beg for feet to be the weirdest thing about a person.
00:30:12.000Okay, when I say we're family-friendly, I'm not saying it's a kids' show where we're going to be like ABC, one, two, three.
00:30:16.000I'm saying that we try to use innuendo on issues that get a little too heavy.
00:30:24.000We try to refrain from swearing to the best of our abilities, but this is a news, culture, and commentary show which sometimes maybe your kids shouldn't be listening to.
00:30:31.000That being said, these things in this chat, a man should not say before a woman.
00:30:38.000I mean, these are horrifying things they were talking about doing to their bodies.
00:33:09.000The truth is, they have no idea what you're talking about.
00:33:11.000Who are these people cheering for USAID? It is kind of bizarre.
00:33:15.000The people cheering for USAID. And it's also true in terms of these government employees and their weird chat rooms and whatever else they're doing.
00:33:23.000What's one of the biggest reasons someone takes a government job?
00:33:39.000though if you expect to not get fired you could also expect to not you know get in trouble for anything right more temptation to get away with things like weird chat rooms i think there should be an ethics investigation on these people i was in the confirmation hearing for cash patel for five hours and they were grilling him on both sides for the entire day but you know thank god he's in now uh as a new fbi director and i mean we we we fired
00:34:06.000we kicked out george santos from Congress.
00:34:56.000But the point is that it's not just that Congress is full of scumbags.
00:34:59.000That's something that's been kind of apparent to everybody for a long, long time.
00:35:04.000The reason that there is such record distrust of government is because of COVID. It's because of the way that the government treated the American people during COVID. Well, that's when it really got exposed.
00:35:16.000That's when people really got red pills because it became so obvious.
00:35:31.000People are very pissed off about all that.
00:35:33.000Trump is going to go in, and we hope, despite these blanket pardons, Cash and Dan start digging up more information and exposing that we're on the next level of these things.
00:35:42.000What I'm really curious about right now is how are there people marching around D.C. cheering for an agency no one's ever heard of?
00:35:53.000Where they're pointing out these Democrats are doing these protests, and there's a bunch of photos popping up where a couple Democrat senators and members of Congress are at a podium with no activists, no protesters.
00:36:04.000And the argument being made on X, and I believe Fox made this argument, is when you cut USAID funding, which was not just USAID but some of these other government programs funneling to nonprofits, the paid organization of protests doesn't happen anymore.
00:36:19.000So now when we see Democrats protest, there's no people.
00:36:22.000Yeah, because people aren't getting paid out for it.
00:36:24.000Well, people never got—people don't—99% of the time, people are not paid to protest.
00:36:29.000And this is a mistake a lot of conservatives consistently have made over the past 15, 20 years, is they say that George Soros is funding paid protesters.
00:36:37.000George Soros, Open Society Foundation, provides grants to various non-profits of certain political persuasions.
00:36:43.000Those non-profits will dispatch two organizers, maybe more, into a college area to flyer and pamphlet to generate real protesters.
00:36:53.000Now, in actuality, these kids have no idea what they're talking about, but they just say, show up.
00:36:58.000Famously, at Occupy Wall Street, there was a group of organizers that told everyone Radiohead was going to be playing a free show at Occupy Wall Street, which was an obvious lie.
00:37:08.000Two or three thousand people showed up.
00:37:10.000Those people weren't paid to be there.
00:37:13.000So what we end up seeing now, with Democrats coming out and protesting Republicans and saying all this stuff, and there's no people behind them, two things happened.
00:38:48.000And if you ask them any intense question about the politics, they'd be like, oh.
00:38:51.000Well, I mean, look, one of the things that you'll notice is, obviously you go to these things, it's the, me, somebody that's covered several of these protests over the past few weeks, it's the same people.
00:39:00.000Almost every time that you go to, you'll recognize faces, you'll start, you know, it's like the chick in the Luigi hat.
00:39:06.000She's at every single one of them, and then they have the Elon Musk is a Nazi signs, and I actually confronted one of them the other day, saying, you know, what do you mean?
00:39:12.000What does that mean that Elon Musk is a Nazi?
00:40:13.000And before these people were all put on leave, you had, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the business day, you had federal employees out there protesting in the middle.
00:40:22.000And that just proves everybody's point.
00:40:26.000And then, I think it was yesterday, I saw on CNN, some chick...
00:40:31.000I watch CNN because it's comedy at this point to watch these people.
00:40:34.000And she spends 10 minutes on CNN, a federal employee, in the middle of the business day, whining about how much time it was going to take her to respond to this email.
00:40:43.000And think about everything she had to do last week.
00:40:45.000And I'm like, in the time you spent whining on CNN in the middle of the business day, you could have responded to that email five times.
00:40:53.000Yeah, that was one of the things that I was wondering about, too, is people kept going on news shows to complain about having to respond to an email.
00:40:59.000And I'm like, if my boss came to me and said, you know, tell me five things you did last week, I'd be like, I could give you a hundred, like, in five minutes.
00:41:08.000I could give you five things I did in the last hour.
00:42:20.000I think Elon's play here, look man, you know it's funny, these liberals and leftists, I love reading their subreddits, I love watching their shows.
00:42:32.000I think it's unfair to say low IQ because maybe they have great spatial reasoning but they can't comprehend basic social function.
00:42:38.000When you play a game of chess, I'm sitting there looking at the board and I say, okay, I'm going to move my knight here.
00:42:44.000When I do, my opponent has seven options to try and counter me that I'm expecting.
00:42:52.000If he moves here, I'll make move A. If he moves here, I'll make move B. If he moves here, I'll make move C. That's called multi-layered thinking, and that's called planning ahead.
00:43:03.000So when Elon Musk says, answer the email, and then Kash Patel and Tulsa say to their departments, don't, they go, oh, Elon got burned, his plan didn't work.
00:43:12.000And I'm like, Elon moved a piece, waited to see the response.
00:43:50.000Anybody who is deeply passionate and really cared about their job is going to be like, oh boy, like, yo, Elon, hey man, I'm working on this project, man.
00:44:07.000And the people who deeply care are going to respond being like, Finally, please, I've been working so hard on this project.
00:44:13.000Or even the people who feel like they don't want to tell you what they're doing because it's classified or whatever would reply with like, I'm working on a whole bunch of things.
00:44:31.000And the people that Tim is pointing the finger at or talking about.
00:44:37.000Why would they assume that Musk would be hostile to the people that their boss, that he is working in conjunction with in the administration?
00:44:47.000Why would they assume that it's a fight?
00:44:50.000Like, it's like, oh, they just snapped Elon down!
00:45:45.000These people that are extremely online and they're ideologically opposed to Trump and Musk just because of their ideology, they're not going to be like, oh, man, Musk isn't going to be like, oh, man, this is such a blow to Doge and now we should...
00:46:08.000You've got to think about this part as well.
00:46:10.000This is the biggest takeaway that I have from it.
00:46:13.000Obviously, Democrats lost the plot a long time ago, but you have to think of the Americans sitting at home right now and Democrats making this massive fuss about...
00:46:23.000Federal workers having to respond to this 5.2-minute email, what do you think people sitting at home are thinking about this?
00:46:30.000Do you think they're siding with the Democrats and be like, oh, that's such a shame, these people that I'm paying with this tax.
00:46:46.000There's not a single poll that shows them underwater.
00:46:48.000Yeah, and I also think that, you know, you have the pundits and the Democrats freaking out about Doge, but you don't have, like you guys are saying, you don't have the voters freaking out, and I think the voters aren't freaking out, you know.
00:46:58.000Both Republican voters, independent voters, and Democrat voters, because we all are out here with jobs.
00:47:06.000And most of us are really, you know, those of us who have withholding tax are really sick of seeing all that money just get extracted from our paychecks so that we can continue to have bad roads, transoppers in Peru, and all of these workers who can't even respond to a damn email.
00:47:50.000It's that he was playing this game of...
00:47:53.000Yes, he calls himself Doge Curious and says we want to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, and then he does what he's always done best, obfuscates the issue to confuse lower cognitive functioning individuals to pull them away from the obvious truth.
00:48:09.000What's happening right now with Doge is that they're going to departments that are giving away money, that are paying people who aren't working, and they're cutting wasteful spending and abuse right away.
00:48:22.000Because that is a threat to the establishment machine, Jon Stewart has to be in opposition to what Trump is.
00:48:28.000But how can he when Doge is a popular concept?
00:55:38.000We did a big Times Square campaign and got a bunch of billboards up.
00:55:41.000And we were like, we're going to bring all the crew and we're going to go and take pictures at the billboards because, you know, we're doing a big marketing thing.
00:55:47.000That morning, as we were arriving in New York, a man took a machete, walked into an old lady, and just slashed her in the back.
00:55:56.000Listen, they're ruining it for sure, but it was really good.
00:57:04.000I would agree he's arguing for segregation, but at the national level, when he argued that Finland should be for the Finns, I was like, yo!
00:57:13.000It's the most basic thing he's ever said.
00:57:14.000This guy should have a conversation with some white nationalists because they're going to completely agree with him.
00:58:55.000Like, there's cultural cues all over the place.
00:58:58.000Sure, and everyone, I think, agrees with that.
00:59:00.000Trevor Noah's point was that it's like...
00:59:02.000His argument was literally if you take two black people and put them in a forest and they're from two parts of the planet and they walk up to each other, they're going to make grunting sounds and understand each other.
01:01:14.000Texas rancher killed by suspected cartel IED on Mexican border as authorities warn of growing threat.
01:01:22.000Yeah, Trump's been warning of this threat.
01:01:24.000A Texas border rancher was killed near the border by a suspected cartel IED earlier this month, the Texas Department of Agriculture told The Post Tuesday.
01:01:32.000As officials issued an urgent safety warning for the Rio Grande Valley.
01:01:35.000Rancher Antonio, how do you pronounce that?
01:01:39.000Saladierna, 74, who works on both sides of the border, along with Horacio Lopez-Pena, were killed in the blast in Tamaulipas, Mexico, which is just south of Brownsville, Texas.
01:01:50.000Lopez's wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, was hospitalized with injuries.
01:02:00.000Look, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller said that an explosion is part of a growing threat posed by cartel activity and encourages ranchers to exercise extreme caution.
01:02:08.000I encourage everyone in the agricultural industry to stay vigilant, remain aware of their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
01:02:15.000Additionally, you can avoid dirt roads in remote areas.
01:02:17.000Refrain from touching unfamiliar objects that could be explosive devices.
01:02:22.000Limit travel to daylight hours, stay on main roads, and avoid cartel-controlled regions.
01:05:03.000You could theoretically issue mark and reprisal letters, but now you're basically saying we're going to allow privateers to go into the border to deal with the cartels.
01:05:10.000And that's opening up the door to more chaos than there already is.
01:05:15.000To be fair, though, I'm not saying we do nothing.
01:05:18.000Something has to be done to deal with this.
01:05:20.000Maybe the heavy troop presence will be enough.
01:05:37.000Why was this IED placed in that location?
01:05:40.000And I don't know if you've been, I just got back from this area, south of Brownsville, Texas, Matamoros, which is, whatever it is, that's the Mexican state where Matamoros is.
01:05:53.000And you have this wall, and you see these big gates in the wall.
01:05:56.000Because Americans own farms that are on both sides of the wall.
01:06:01.000So it's a good chance that this guy owned the farm that straddles the border and just went directly over and they placed it in his farm.
01:06:10.000So that's and you had the story of the was the guy in Arizona who got criminally charged with shooting an illegal immigrant passing over his property.
01:06:19.000And he said I can't remember exactly what he said, but there were gunshots and he fired back and then they didn't care.
01:06:25.000And the Biden administration wanted to make sure that he went to prison.
01:06:26.000I mean, the Biden administration was abject evil in the targeting of of.
01:06:32.000Just regular Americans over insane things.
01:06:54.000The authorization for use of military force, I believe, was specifically targeting the Middle East.
01:06:58.000Because I thought that it was the authorization to go after international terror rings because they were all over the world.
01:07:08.000It was the AUMF in 2001 for Bush was specifically to go after those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the September 11th attacks.
01:07:37.000But does anybody really believe that Trump is going to base his decision as to whether or not he'll drone strike cartels based on what the Mexican president has to say about it?
01:07:46.000No, again, the Mexican president is a puppet.
01:08:01.000If you genuinely wanted to get rid of the cartels in Mexico, if you're the Mexican president and you genuinely...
01:08:06.000Why would you work so hard to block the greatest, the strongest, most capable military in the world from going in there and eradicating the cartels?
01:08:15.000You remember how many candidates were assassinated, though, before they elected?
01:08:34.000Any action that Mexico takes, I've seen it myself.
01:08:38.000I know Trump has put more pressure on them now, and they might be doing something a little bit different, but I was down there, I was standing next to the Mexican National Guard.
01:08:48.000They saw people being trafficked over the border.
01:09:30.000Well, it's not that we're declaring war, but basically, like, we'd basically be saying, you've got cartels, we're going to be sending in our violent guys with guns to go stop them, and it's going to be chaos in Mexico.
01:09:48.000The idea that the response to the United States declaring the cartels terrorists, the response by the Mexican government, by the president, President Scheinbaum, is that we're going to expand legal action against gun manufacturers in the United States?
01:10:48.000From the United States into Mexico, from San Diego to Tijuana, you're driving, and you slow down to five miles an hour, and they just go, Nope.
01:11:00.000That's why I think it's a bad idea to do the privateering because it could just open the door to what we've seen in Ukraine where people just are selling arms like on the black market.
01:12:20.000Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done.
01:12:23.000There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this, what is really just an egregious violation of trust, what to speak of, like basic rules and standards around professionalism.
01:12:37.000I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances.
01:12:44.000But the thing here, Jesse, is we've got to take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface.
01:12:51.000When you see what these people were saying, and thanks to Chris Rufo for putting it all out online, they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior.
01:13:08.000And they were brazen in doing this because...
01:13:10.000When was the last time anyone was really held accountable?
01:13:14.000certainly not over the last four years, certainly not over the last 10, maybe 20 years.
01:13:19.000And we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community.
01:13:25.000So today's action and holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration, which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him.
01:13:36.000Clean house, root out that rot and corruption and weaponization and politicization.
01:13:42.000So we can start to rebuild that trust in these institutions that are charged with an important mission of serving the American people, ensuring our safety, security and freedom.
01:14:07.000I just want to make sure this is understood by everybody.
01:14:08.000The same people who demand we get these workplace sexual harassment seminars where they tell you you can't do this, we're literally doing it.
01:14:18.000And let me just say, somewhat figuratively, what I mean is...
01:14:20.000It is these left liberal types who are screaming about inequality, oppression, and intersectional whatever and what's it, which would, their policies would ban the behaviors they're engaged in, and they do it anyway.
01:14:33.000And now they're all fired, and they should be, and they've got their clearances revoked.
01:14:38.000They're never going to work intelligence again.
01:15:29.000It's sort of, it's been true across the board and it's been such a short period of time that the Trump administration has been clearing house.
01:15:35.000Clearing house over here in this area.
01:15:38.000They're dealing with the FBI. People have already been reassigned.
01:15:42.000The IRS agents are looking at being reassigned.
01:15:44.000You know, today you have this wild thing in the White House where the press secretary said that the White House Correspondents Association, basically like the press pool, would be taken over by the White House and they wouldn't let the rot in that organization keep seeping in, you know.
01:16:00.000And that's actually all because of Kevin over here, who's coined Gulf of America.
01:16:07.000And then the next thing you know, all hell breaks loose.
01:16:09.000The AP gets banned and the White House Correspondents Association doesn't even have any standing in the White House anymore.
01:16:18.000But they're just they're clearing everything out.
01:16:21.000How did you feel about that, Kevin, when you found out that not only did the AP get banned, but the entire way that the press organization is working at the White House has changed?
01:17:13.000I think the chair, I believe, is like a, I think she's a reporter for NBC. And the argument that you always hear is, oh, well, this is an attack on free speech, which is the same argument they make when you talk about getting rid of books that are sexually explicit.
01:17:27.000But just like that argument, curation and deciding who is and is not allowed in is not a limit on free speech.
01:17:35.000It is just a limit on the space inside of the room.
01:17:39.000If the administration decides that they don't want to let this particular organization in, they have every right to do that because they exclude hundreds and probably thousands of press organizations from...
01:17:53.000Actually being able to access the White House press room.
01:17:55.000Well, the Biden administration, you remember them?
01:17:56.000Like, we'd never see any of this stuff if it was until Joe Biden.
01:18:03.000But, like, do you remember Joe Biden would stand there and when he did take questions, how many times did he take questions from the press?
01:18:09.000Like, four or five times in his entire four years?
01:18:12.000Maybe he was walking by into the house or off the helicopter.
01:18:15.000But when he did actually take questions, he had a list of people that he would read from.
01:18:19.000And he'd be like, oh, you with the AP. Pre-selected questions, pre-selected reporters.
01:18:24.000And then if you'd go off that and choose somebody, you're like, I'm going to get in trouble.
01:18:32.000So AP is suing, obviously, the Trump administration over lack of transparency or whatever, but they never took any legal action against Joe Biden for banning everybody from the mobile office.
01:19:14.000Which I don't know how that segue happened.
01:19:17.000We're talking about Tulsi Gabbard firing a bunch of people, and I'm curious, with her as Director of National Intelligence, saying she's going to fire 100-plus people, I'm wondering if the move that Elon, Trump, Kashtan, and many others may make next is going to be targeting the most minute of reasonable cause firings.
01:19:37.000That is, anything anybody has done that is cause, you're fired.
01:20:03.000If they want to get rid of you, they're going to look for little things to say that you've done when they get enough that they feel they can actually bring you in front of HR. They bring you into HR and say, look, these things you've done and those things might get overlooked with anyone else.
01:20:16.000They might be no reason or no big deal, but if they decided that they want to fire you for whatever reason, they'd come up with as many reasons as they can.
01:20:31.000The point is, like Tim said, if they're going to be looking for all of the little reasons, that's exactly how they're going to have to come up with justification.
01:20:38.000Because right now, you end up with lawsuits and you end up with unions trying to defend people.
01:20:45.000As many small reasons as possible, so that way you don't have to answer for every individual person that gets fired to a court, which I think eventually it's going to end up in front of the Supreme Court anyways.
01:20:58.000And the question at hand, which we've talked about on the show multiple times, does the executive have the authority to fire people or not?
01:21:05.000And according to Article 2 in the Constitution, the executive does.
01:21:08.000Because the agencies all come under, right?
01:21:10.000Did you see that viral post from that woman?
01:21:12.000Where she claimed the DOJ was under legislative judicial control.
01:21:21.000Mike Cernovich tweeted, where in the Constitution does it say that the executive doesn't have control of the DOJ? And this PhD woman responds, oh my god, they're so dumb, I can't believe they'd repost this, it's right here.
01:21:36.000And then posts about judicial controls.
01:21:40.000Making the argument that the Department of Justice is under the judiciary, which it is not.
01:22:01.000Not all of them, but these are the people who live in rigid hierarchical authority structures where if a person has a degree, they're better than you.
01:22:10.000Could you imagine what it must be like to be a liberal where you sit down and you go, I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, so I propose we do it this way.
01:22:32.000And it's frustrating because there's so many people that are looking to...
01:22:37.000Like we were talking about earlier, just like be able to say, oh, look, we got to dunk on Musk or dunk on any other person in the administration.
01:23:33.000The White House Correspondent Association has determined access to the White House for decades.
01:23:39.000Eugene Daniels, who is the Politico chief playbook correspondent and the WHC president, has issued a statement.
01:23:48.000Okay, I'm going to read it, but it's so cringe.
01:23:50.000He says, This move tears the independence of a free press in the United States.
01:23:54.000It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president.
01:23:58.000In the free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.
01:24:02.000For generations, the working journalists elected to lead the White House Correspondents Association board have consistently expanded the WHCA's membership and its pool, blah, blah, blah, since its founding in 1914. Don't care, blah, blah.
01:24:13.000To be clear, the White House did not give the WHCA board a heads-up or have any discussion about today's announcements, but the WHCA will never stop advocating for comprehensive access, blah, blah, don't care.
01:24:23.000These are elitist, credentialist individuals who keep out anybody who doesn't toe their political line.
01:24:28.000It is a corrupt institution that should be disbanded in disgrace.
01:24:31.000And the Trump administration did the right thing by saying anyone can apply now.
01:24:35.000And they're making excuses by saying, so the government chooses?
01:24:39.000Well, yeah, the president doesn't need to give you the space in front of him to hear what he has to say.
01:25:37.000When people can come in and we invite them in, as it should be.
01:25:40.000Well, and there's limited space, right?
01:25:42.000The Oval Office only holds a certain number of people.
01:25:44.000On Air Force One, there's only 13 seats for reporters.
01:25:48.000And I read the brief that the White House submitted in response to the AP suit that they gave to the judge.
01:25:53.000And in that brief, they laid out very clearly.
01:25:57.000That the AP has not actually been harmed in any way because they still have access to all the pool reporting.
01:26:03.000That's the videos, the questions, the audio, photographs, anything else.
01:26:08.000And if you go to their website and you look at their stories, since they've been banned from the Oval Office and the other locations, they still have the same exact kind of reporting that they did before.
01:27:32.000And then I'm going to sit there just staring at the president with my mouth hanging open.
01:27:36.000I know that under the Biden administration, when the post-millennial tried to just get questions answered, not even get into the White House, which we also tried to get press passes and nobody would ever get back to us.
01:27:46.000But I know that they wouldn't even answer questions.
01:27:48.000They'd answer questions like two, three weeks later and it would be like, oh, you have to talk to somebody else.
01:28:28.000They were like, you're not legitimate.
01:28:30.000They were really cruel to conservative news outlets and calling them illegitimate just because those outlets weren't towing the party line.
01:29:35.000The White House Correspondent Association is only angry because their ability to control the narrative has just been ripped away from them.
01:29:41.000How much do you want to bet they sold access?
01:30:21.000So the blue check thing on X, or it was Twitter at the time, when Elon opened it up and let anybody do it.
01:30:28.000The reaction that you're seeing from the WHCA right now is exactly the same reaction that these people had when anybody had the ability to buy blue check marks.
01:30:41.000The Fresh and Fit guys, about how having Instagram verification, you could slide into any girl's DM because the verification means you're special.
01:30:50.000So if you're an influencer on Instagram and you drive cars or whatever, you can get verified.
01:30:54.000But journalists don't really work on Instagram.
01:30:56.000So all these snot-nosed journalists earned their, or I should say, that verification badge was a status symbol for them that they used, I guarantee it.
01:31:08.000I heard stories of these people, like...
01:31:10.000When you're verified, if they had a complaint with a company, they tweet, the company would freak out and be like, whoa, a verified person is...
01:32:10.000That's exactly what goes on in Washington.
01:32:12.000If you work in D.C., it's I'm special, I work in the government, I have power.
01:32:17.000It's all this ego stroking that goes on, and it has very little to do with whether or not you're actually valuable, whether or not your contribution to the government matters or not.
01:32:44.000It was the best option that we had at the time that was reasonably possible.
01:32:50.000I went there and I was going around with Jordan and just documenting The play-by-play.
01:33:00.000And there was a group, and he was talking to a group of reporters, and this person came up to me and pulled me back and said, you're not allowed to be here!
01:33:35.000There were people that were very, very anxious to police the behavior of other people that were not carrying out the proper COVID procedures.
01:33:44.000They want to be able to use that small little bit of power, that little bit of authority they think they have, and they want to be able to lord it over people.
01:33:51.000You have these little fiefdoms in D.C., and they have this particular area they're the king of, and I'm in charge, and I get to decide this and that.
01:33:59.000It's all about ego, and it's all about inflated ego.
01:34:02.000And literally being able to abuse people because you're in a position that you think you have authority over.
01:34:11.000Yep, and which actually makes the situation with all these federal employees that are saying, oh, it's such a travesty.
01:34:16.000We're getting fired for cause or whatever.
01:34:18.000The same people that were saying, oh, we should have fired everybody for not taking the COVID vaccine.
01:34:24.000There's a lot of satisfaction in that, Kev.
01:34:28.000Seeing these same people that were saying that all of us, us plebs, should have been outcasted from society and such for not taking the vaccine.
01:34:37.000Yeah, and there was a lot of people that were very quick to do that.
01:35:12.000If you used to listen to him at all every once in a while, he doesn't mess around.
01:35:15.000This is a guy that's going to go in there.
01:35:16.000And I would argue that the deputy director of the FBI, after being appointed by the director...
01:35:22.000I mean, that's the guy that runs day-to-day operations at the FBI. He's the one that's actually calling a lot of the shots, and Kash Patel ends up being the figurehead.
01:35:32.000So Dan Bongino being appointed was such a massive win.
01:35:44.000There's probably no other organization in the federal government that needs to be broken into small pieces than the FBI. And splintered into the wind.
01:36:08.000I think Cash, if you've ever listened to him, he's more like the, let's get him back to fighting crime.
01:36:12.000Dan is the, we're going to weigh out the corruption and destroy the deep state.
01:36:16.000I think they should have done that earlier.
01:36:18.000Instead of just firing everybody just now from that chat, I think they should have held him and investigated him so we could put him in jail, honestly.
01:36:31.000Look into what they've been doing because how much you want to bet these people with extreme weird fetishes and left-aligned proclivities likely were doing untoward things for political reasons and you probably will find criminal actions.
01:36:45.000You think about the FBI talking about how they're actually doing things now.
01:36:49.000I think FBI Houston has now busted two mass shootings in the past two weeks.
01:36:54.000And one of them today, we found out, was a radical tranny.
01:37:06.000Look back at the J6 situation and how many of those agents, thousands of them, dedicated every single day to tracking down grandmas walking through the Capitol.
01:37:19.000And now they're actually doing, now they're stopping mass shootings.
01:37:22.000That's totally, that's something that deserves a little attention.
01:37:27.000There have been multiple mass shootings that the FBI has actually stopped.
01:37:58.000The fact that the FBI... Actually has the capacity to do things that actually save lives as opposed to chasing down people that were legitimately not doing things wrong.
01:38:10.000They went into the Capitol, but they didn't break anything.
01:38:16.000There were some people in January 6th that maybe you can say that they caused a problem, that they were violent, that should have been put in jail.
01:38:24.000But that wasn't the vast majority of them.
01:38:27.0001,600 people were not fighting with the cops.
01:38:30.000There were a few hundred people that were fighting with the cops, and they completely and totally were overdoing the prosecution and investigations.

01:39:25.000Matt Gaetz, I said, was my favorite member because he ripped apart the IOU machine, the deep state neocon machine that was propping up McCarthy.
01:40:34.000So, I mean, he's my favorite member of Congress.
01:40:36.000Well, I mean, what'll go down in history was that moment where he walked onto the House floor during COVID and said, you know, I will not let the Republic die by unanimous consent.
01:41:04.000Tom Colburn was a senator from Oklahoma back before he passed away.
01:41:08.000But yeah, like, there have been a handful of dudes.
01:41:10.000I think Rand Paul is probably like that too, or very close.
01:41:14.000Rand, because he's a senator, he's a little more go along and work with other senators, but he's still cut from the same cloth as his dad.
01:41:21.000And I think that it's good to have those kind of people in the government, if only to set an example for the rest of Congress.
01:41:30.000Quantum Strange Quark says, Tim, congrats to you and Allison for your new baby girl.
01:41:34.000You too should record a private video for her right now to tell her how you feel about her becoming new parents and show it to her when she gets old enough to appreciate it.
01:41:43.000I really do appreciate the sentiment, and I will stress it is going to be a very strange generation when they can watch their parents' entire lives recorded on social media.
01:41:53.000For me, particularly so, because I have done a video, an episode of Timcast IRL and The Morning Show every day, except for some weekends.
01:42:03.000You know how they do those things where it's like, I took a picture of myself every day for 20 years.
01:42:07.000It's like, well, I recorded a video of myself for four hours every day for eight years.
01:45:19.000You get emails from priests saying, hey, we need you to donate for so-and-so for the church, this and that.
01:45:24.000But then they have to come out and say, no, like, listen, like, priests, first off, they don't even have phones, let alone emails.
01:45:30.000You know what's funny is that, because people are making comments, the one thing liberals always like to do is accuse conservatives of being short.
01:45:38.000And I'm like, it's kind of weird because liberals tend to be shorter.
01:47:36.000But there was this thing Andrew Tate did where he was making fun of leftists, and he tilted his head back and started going, like, making fun of them.
01:47:43.000They screenshotted it and said, this is what Andrew Tate looks like.
01:47:56.000My point is, the dude has a massive following of young men for a reason, and he makes insane amounts of money off this following.
01:48:02.000So what they do is they try to attack masculinity.
01:48:05.000They'll say men are weak, short, or they're not good.
01:48:08.000One of the things they do to me all the time is, it's the weirdest thing ever, it catches by surprise, they go on forums and claim, I once saw Tim Pool a skate park and he couldn't do a pop-shove-it.
01:48:17.000And it's like, it's a really weird thing.
01:48:20.000But the goal is we have a skateboard company.
01:48:22.000In fact, it's probably at this point one of the most successful skateboard companies in the world because we sell thousands of skateboards.
01:50:15.000He did commercial acting and he did plays and stuff like this.
01:50:17.000And that's normal for an average actor.
01:50:19.000Ian plays music, but he was never, like, pursuing being a rock star, like, in the way that Phil put out an album.
01:50:26.000Hassan Piker was trying to insult Phil as a failed musician guy, which he's objectively not, but he's doing it without knowing who Phil is because he wants his younger viewers to think that Phil is just, like, some guy who never made it until they realize that Phil's played stadiums for 90,000 people and has platinum and gold records, and they're like, oh.
01:51:26.000The only reason they want to say that you are not manly or masculine, whatever that translates to, is so that young men stay away from you.
01:51:33.000Because young men are looking for people to look up to.
01:51:36.000And they want the mentality to be for a young kid, if I act like him, I'll be made fun of.
01:51:40.000And then what ends up happening is these kids grow up and they think, actually, strong guys don't care what people think.
01:51:44.000I want to be like that guy and be rich and successful.
01:52:20.000Surge apparently knows what that means.
01:52:22.000If you want to join a community of over 20,000 people, maybe you're bored at home and you watch the show and you're like, I don't know, I got some free time.
01:54:33.000When he was exposed to the very fine people hoax and he actually watched the video of Trump saying, you know, not the neo-Nazis, not the, you know, not the racist, blah, blah, blah.
01:54:42.000He was, he was, he was like, I have to rethink everything that I thought prior to this, about politics that I thought prior to this moment, so.
01:54:49.000All right, we got this one from David Airman who says, show idea for about some sleazy men in Congress, femcast, Adrienne, Lisa, Libby, Mary, and a guest like Sidney Watson, or shoe on head, hosted by Phil to be the mansplainer.
01:56:49.000Well, that's why Trump is continuously trolling Governor Trudeau.
01:56:53.000I mean, he's doing these really official speeches and stuff, like with Macron the other day, and just casually calling him Governor Trudeau in these speeches.
02:01:32.000I mean, if you want to follow me, I'm going to X at Nick Sorter, N-I-C-K-S-O-R-T-O-R. I'm not really on any other platform because they just banned me, like we were talking about with TikTok earlier.
