On today's show, we have a special guest, Courtney Nill, who is running for City Council in West Virginia. She talks about the ongoing saga of Kilmar Arold Garcia and her case against the White House, and why she thinks it should go forward. We also have a story about a woman who has been deported from the U.S. back to her home country of Guatemala.
00:02:32.000He got impeached twice in his first term.
00:02:33.000But now we have Sri Thanedar, who is saying that Donald Trump is violating the Constitution over his deportation without due process, among other issues.
00:04:00.000With everything that's happening in the economy, it feels like we're walking on shaky ground.
00:04:04.000Prices are stuck at really high levels.
00:04:06.000Seems like nothing is affordable anymore.
00:04:08.000It's no wonder many are relying on credit cards to cover the gaps.
00:04:11.000Credit card debt is skyrocketing, and it's leaving a lot of people stressed out.
00:04:15.000But if you're a homeowner, you don't have to face this uncertainty alone.
00:04:18.000My friends at American Financing can help you take control.
00:04:20.000They can help you access the equity in your home to help you pay down that high-interest credit card debt, giving you peace of mind and real savings.
00:04:27.000On average, people just like you are saving $800 a month.
00:04:31.000Plus, they may even close your loan in as little as 10 days.
00:04:35.000Don't let the chaos of the economy get the best of you call American Financing now.
00:04:39.000It costs you nothing to get started, and you may delay two mortgage payments, giving you a cushion at this uncertain time.
00:06:09.000And it's really fascinating because I've complained for a while now about how Charlestown, West Virginia, it's a red state, it's the second red estate, but the city council is all Democrat.
00:09:04.000He has dismissed criminal cases and solicited payments from foreign governments and coerced legal settlement for personal and political gain.
00:09:34.000At the White House press briefing, under the Constitution, I believe it's Article 2, Section 9, the president has the authority to suspend habeas corpus during an invasion or rebellion.
00:09:47.000And the question was asked is, considering Trump has declared an invasion, will he actively suspend habeas corpus for illegal immigrants?
00:09:55.000Now, the White House response, of course, was that they don't see this as happening anytime soon.
00:10:14.000That is Tattoo from Fantasy Island, but grown up.
00:10:18.000If you know the character that I'm talking about, it is undeniable.
00:10:23.000It's no surprise that they're trying to impeach Donald Trump, but the one thing that...
00:10:32.000The Republicans refuse to do things that are going to actually have impact, and the Democrats have no such compunction.
00:10:43.000I mean, me and Ian and myself got into it a couple weeks ago about whether or not the Democrats would try to impeach Donald Trump again, and Ian had a problem with even articulating it.
00:11:43.000So this representative, Sri Thanedar, he's exclusively...
00:11:50.000He's exclusively posturing here is what's going on.
00:11:54.000Democrats, progressives believe that he is too much of a centrist for his district.
00:11:59.000And right now he's trying to posture himself as an anti-Trump Democrat so he won't get primaried or that his opponents won't get support for being primaried.
00:12:07.000So the Justice Democrats, the same group that helped get AOC elected, actually...
00:12:14.000Put out their first endorsement right now of former Representative Donovan McKinney, who's actually running a primary against Shree, and he just announced it earlier today.
00:12:23.000So Shree here is trying to posture as more progressive and kind of fend off these leftists kind of nipping at his coattails.
00:12:30.000So I don't think he actually expects this to go anywhere, but he wants to look as though he wants to show the base that he is so-called fighting against Trump.
00:12:38.000Whether or not that goes anywhere doesn't mean anything, because what some Democrats want to see is a so-called...
00:12:50.000The general public is getting tired of keeping hearing about how Trump is getting impeached again.
00:12:56.000I mean, I think there for a little while, it's like, oh, impeachment.
00:12:59.000OK, well, it's another another week, another week.
00:13:01.000Apparently, Trump is the only federal official to be impeached twice.
00:13:06.000But I mean, how many attempts have they had?
00:13:08.000How many times have we heard the media talk about that?
00:13:10.000I feel like it has to be like if I'm a Democratic upstart, though, I am trying to impeach Donald Trump or at least vocally saying so, because I think that's what the base wants.
00:13:21.000But I think the Democrats want to see at least some posturing, some sort of fight against Trump.
00:13:26.000And then the Democrats who aren't doing that will be primaried, as we're seeing from the Justice Democrats, and you're hearing from people like David Hogg.
00:13:34.000So it's your sense that this is actually popular with the base?
00:13:39.000Now, I understand the political operatives and the people that are politically motivated, yes.
00:13:49.000Because I assume the average Democrat does want to see actual governance.
00:13:56.000The average Democrat, yes, but the base of the party who's most encouraged and most willing to contribute to a campaign, who would want to work on a campaign, you want to see somebody who's fighting for you, right?
00:14:35.000It is just a spattering of random mixtures of left to liberal nonsense.
00:14:42.000So the reason why this guy Sri is doing this?
00:14:45.000He's not going to get an article of impeachment through a Congress that's a majority Republican, even by two votes.
00:14:50.000He's doing it because he knows whoever wins the attention can be the leader of the party.
00:14:56.000And he's taking an opportunity to try and build up his profile, knowing that ain't no Democrats stepping up right now to be the leader of the party.
00:15:03.000You got J.B. Pritzker coming out, calling for mass uprisings, protests and riots.
00:15:55.000I don't know if it's going to take that long.
00:15:57.000I think that you could see some kind of coalescing around a candidate if the Republicans don't deliver.
00:16:06.000Again, we talked about this a couple of times.
00:16:08.000If Donald Trump, like over the weekend, I guess his numbers came out and they're kind of tanking.
00:16:15.000And if that becomes the trend broadly and he can't deliver for the American people or we go into some kind of actual economic recession, because there's a lot of people that are saying that the consequences of the...
00:16:33.000If those things really sour the American people on Donald Trump, I don't see any way for conservatives or Republicans to kind of wrestle that back.
00:16:48.000And I do think that there are people in the Democrat Party that could capitalize on it.
00:16:54.000The progressives in the Democrat Party, I think, are going to capitalize on this.
00:16:58.000And I think we're going to see a lot of the so-called centrist Democrats be knocked off by some progressives challenging the so-called moderates who have been there for a couple of decades and aren't sufficiently progressive to what the base wants.
00:17:14.000Because if you have the progressives actually start to get real traction and get more power, that's going to have real, serious, negative results for the American people.
00:17:25.000Unless you think AOC is just totally unelectable on a national scale.
00:17:42.000I think that if you actually have young people that are...
00:17:45.000Because right now, we talk about how Gen Z's really kind of bummed out about the way our political system works, and there's a lot of energy behind people that say things like, oh, Luigi Mangione actually had a good idea, or that's the kind of Democrat we need.
00:18:04.000If those people become ascendant and you get more of those people running on that kind of policy, it will only be bad for America.
00:18:14.000Because those people, when they don't get very quick results in government, which our government is designed to not give quick results, you're only going to end up with people saying, well, then the government, the system doesn't work.
00:21:31.000If he wants to return, they will provide him the means to do so, because the Supreme Court also said that no one can direct the president to engage in foreign policy, which is why the article's impeachment from the previous segment make literally no sense.
00:21:43.000But if they're going to argue now that a judge in Wisconsin who allowed a man to escape— Okay, let me tell you this story.
00:22:02.000The victims were there to get justice.
00:22:05.000When the judge found out Issa arrived to arrest this guy, she shuffled him out a private door used only for employees and jurors to help him escape.
00:22:15.000And the feds had a warrant for his arrest, and they were in a public place.
00:22:22.000And the New York Times' David Brooks has the gall to say, illegal, but heroic.
00:22:29.000Baby, if that's the game you want to play, I say Trump, unleash the illegal because they just opened the door.
00:22:35.000To be fair, quite literally wouldn't matter if Donald Trump saved a bag of puppies, literally a burlap sack full of puppies for some reason is in a burning building.
00:22:43.000They would still claim he did something wrong.
00:22:45.000So even when Trump is abiding by the Constitution, and he is, They claim he's not.
00:22:50.000And when they violate the Constitution and break the law, they claim it's illegal but heroic.
00:22:55.000We've got mostly fiery but peaceful protests, illegal but heroic actions, and Trump is the bad guy.
00:25:15.000I think the posturing is also very ridiculous, because Democrats and progressives have been posturing as though, like, oh, Trump doesn't like this judge's decisions, and that's why he arrested the judge.
00:26:58.000But this deification that the left is doing is...
00:27:01.000All just about performing a function, which is to fool the viewer, the American people, into thinking that Donald Trump is doing something that he's not.
00:27:10.000And this is the MO of the left for the past 10 years.
00:27:16.000And so nobody should be above the law, but that's not what we've seen in practice.
00:27:21.000We've seen where people pick and choose and...
00:27:24.000To me, if there is a law on the books, we should be following it.
00:27:28.000If you don't like the law, change the law.
00:27:31.000That's why we have a government that's supposed to be for the people, by the people, is that if there's laws that we think should be changed, we'll just go in and change them, rather than decide, oh, well, we're not enforcing that.
00:27:44.000Oh, well, we're not going to prosecute this person.
00:30:02.000That's where they're getting information from.
00:30:05.000So, look, I will give some sympathy to Hassan.
00:30:09.000He reads an article and it says a Maryland man was deported and the first thing he thinks is some working class guy from Maryland was snatched up on accident.
00:30:20.000And sent to El Salvador to go to prison, when in reality, it is a gang member from El Salvador who was arrested under suspicion of human trafficking in the past, who had been ordered to deport twice, who was adjudicated by two different judicial panel—I'm sorry, immigration judge panels, first a judge,
00:30:36.000then a panel, as being a member of MS-13.
00:30:38.000And the only error was that he was supposed to get a USCIS interview before being deported.
00:35:23.000You can make it look like and it wasn't until that debate that that's where I at least the leftists that I knew, that's when they really started saying something.
00:35:32.000They're like, whoa, they're like, this is a problem.
00:35:36.000And to be honest, I even feel a little bit bad for the Democrats that they decided to just slide Kamala Harris in there.
00:35:41.000And they never even had a chance to have a primary or anything because they didn't.
00:35:45.000I don't think Kamala Harris would have been the pick because she did not do well the first time she ran for president.
00:35:51.000And I think just since she was VP, they're like, oh, well, we'll put her in.
00:35:54.000And that's not really even fair to the democratic process.
00:35:58.000I mean, I didn't even notice the cat was there at first.
00:36:08.000Yeah, so people are pointing out, I looked it up real quick, the photo of Biden in the suit, it's the suit he wore relatively often as president.
00:38:02.000Was like, you know, we really missed this one, guys.
00:38:04.000And we lost the trust of the American people because of it.
00:38:08.000The headline's going to be a journalist, you know, issues scathing rebuke of the failure of the media to catch the story about Biden's decline because they are once again doing the exact same thing.
00:38:21.000These people are smarmy, evil pieces of garbage.
00:38:46.000The White House Correspondents Association might as well be one company with 50 chairs.
00:38:51.000Because they go in, they ask generic and obvious questions that everybody knows the answers to, or are meant to go viral, to just argue with Carolyn Leavitt or whoever the press secretary is going to be at the time.
00:39:02.000And then they all report the exact same things.
00:39:54.000They were the people managing all of that.
00:39:56.000And the White House Correspondents Association, I think at this point, might even be beyond reform.
00:40:01.000And I think we should also anticipate a few of these losers down the line writing the book of, oh, Joe Biden was obviously senile the whole time.
00:40:10.000They'll have their reports on it, but they just want their New York Times bestselling books down the line in a decade or two when they're able to write about what they saw but didn't want to report on.
00:40:19.000They're going to wait a little bit more time until Joe Biden passes.
00:40:21.000They don't want to harm the party as much.
00:41:28.000Next to government in the dictionary, you'll find his name.
00:41:31.000And I mean, not to continue harping on the White House Correspondents Association, but I just can't stop thinking about the double standards, too.
00:41:38.000So right now, the worst thing that Secretary of Defense Pete Hexth had was the Signalgate scandal, right?
00:41:43.000But Secretary Lloyd Austin, this was Joe Biden's Secretary of Defense, he literally went under anesthesia.
00:41:51.000He wasn't awake, and nobody knew that he wasn't awake.
00:41:56.000The president didn't know that he went under.
00:41:57.000So if something were to happen, we didn't have somebody who was the head of the military at that time.
00:42:02.000The media didn't bother pushing back on this hard enough.
00:42:45.000All of the White House Correspondents Association's accusations against new media are really just telling on themselves.
00:42:52.000Everything they accuse us new media people of doing, they were doing during the previous administration.
00:42:57.000And I don't even think the new media people are as biased as people are, as the mainstream media are, and White House Correspondents Association is trying to make them out to be.
00:43:06.000But the White House Correspondents Association is everything that they say the new media is.
00:43:13.000This is where we are at in this current time, where you have narratives that are being pushed and people aren't just doing independent research.
00:43:21.000Because even if you're a Democrat, you're a liberal, you have a complete different view than me.
00:43:25.000Well, please just try to be a good journalist.
00:43:31.000Every single week, there's a new fake news immigration story.
00:43:35.000So, Tim, it's funny you're still bringing up the Maryland man hoax, because this week's hoax is the two-year-old American citizen deported hoax, where it was an older woman who came in this country illegally for decades was being deported, and she chose to take her two-year-old American daughter with her.
00:43:51.000But they're saying, oh, no, they're deporting the two-year-old American citizen.
00:44:31.000They put them up on the driveway of the White House.
00:44:34.000If you look here, that's the West Wing just at the forefront, the executive mansion itself to the left.
00:44:39.000But what's particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn.
00:44:49.000So therefore, no matter what network you're on...
00:46:05.000And when he was about to get into that Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 gang member, MSNBC cut away and said, you were just listening to the president and shut him down.
00:46:17.000This is why people like Hassan Piker don't know the truth.
00:46:21.000Then they go on their shows and are absolutely convinced what they're saying is true and that we are the bad people lying.
00:46:46.000Was they were saying that on the right, they're actually arguing that Abrego Garcia is some kind of dangerous criminal and not a working family man who fled a dangerous country to live a better life.
00:48:52.000Even the Nikki Haley supporters against the DeSantis.
00:48:56.000Then Vivek was trying to play nice with Trump, but then getting attacked and being called fake.
00:49:01.000On the right, you have people of different political ideologies fighting with each other, but then unifying around the idea that the left is a bunch of crackpot cultists lying to their audiences.
00:49:10.000Well, I mean, they're obviously lying to their audiences, but that's all they have.
00:49:18.000You know, if they can't articulate honestly what's going on and just say, we disagree with this, even though they could make a reasonable argument that says, hey, you know, because of due process, we're concerned with this.
00:50:24.000I have heard from so many conservatives, middle of the road, moderate right, anti-establishment, anti-democrats saying, well, we shouldn't give due process to illegal immigrants.
00:51:09.000If the Trump administration wants to get anywhere near their goals of these mass deportations, they need to be absolutely relentless and cannot give up to any of these fake news immigration story narratives.
00:51:22.000As soon as some of these start to pick up hold and they try to have due process and review all of each individual illegal immigrant we try to deport, we will get nowhere.
00:51:31.000There were 20 million some odd illegal immigrants in our country right now.
00:51:35.000And if anything, I don't believe the administration goes far enough.
00:51:38.000I think if we really want people to self-deport in mass numbers, we are going to need to hold people who employ illegal immigrants knowingly accountable because there's still a whole underclass of people here who are working illegally.
00:51:50.000And we're going after the criminals right now, right, on Pebble Lane in the White House.
00:51:54.000That's what they were showing, people, criminals.
00:51:56.000But, I mean, the fact of the matter is most illegal immigrants aren't...
00:52:00.000Are criminals in the sense that they're in this country illegally but aren't, you know, murderers or committed burglaries as were the criminals on Pebble Lane Street.
00:52:10.000So I guess the idea here is they need to move fast and they need to actually get to rev this up and not only go after criminals if they want to get anywhere near the mass deportation numbers.
00:52:21.000I do think Stephen Miller has been doing an effective job at this.
00:52:26.000Tom Homan has been deporting illegals for 40 some odd years, longer than I've been alive.
00:52:30.000So I think the Trump administration is in good hands with some of these immigration hawks that are in there.
00:52:36.000I just want to make sure we have this for everybody from USA.gov.
00:52:40.000After a non-citizen is detained, they may go before a judge in immigration court during the deportation process.
00:52:46.000In some cases, a noncitizen is subject to expedited removal without being able to attend a hearing in immigration court.
00:52:53.000Expedited removal may happen when a noncitizen comes to the U.S. without proper travel documents, uses forged travel documents, does not comply with their visa or other entry document requirements.
00:53:04.000That first one is all you need to know.
00:53:07.000Comes to the U.S. without proper travel documents.
00:53:28.000If you did come in here with forged travel documents, expedited.
00:53:31.000If you did not comply with your visa or other entry document requirements, meaning even if you are here in good standing, if you are in violation of the terms of your visa, you don't get to go before a judge.
00:53:43.000That is the due process afforded non-citizens as it pertains to deportation.
00:53:47.000So I implore everybody out there to understand that Democrats are lying when they conflate a jury trial with due process.
00:54:03.000He was saying we should not create a process by which we give trials to illegal immigrants.
00:54:08.000The media then misconstrues it, gaslights people.
00:54:11.000This is how they're going to make permanent illegal immigration the norm in this country by gaslighting Americans into thinking that you have to have trials.
00:54:19.000So that way, in 2028, if a Democrat wins, or maybe 2032, they'll then go, but don't forget, It is the norm in this country to have a jury trial any time a non-citizen enters the country, which makes it impossible to deport.
00:54:35.000Purposefully setting up a broken system is what they are trying to do here.
00:54:39.000Bring in millions upon millions of illegal immigrants and then having to try to make the process of removing them make you a Nazi.
00:54:46.000Well, not only that, the point is that's because they want them to stay in order to, as we've discussed, To change the makeup of the United States.
00:54:57.000They want to dilute the voting power of the existing, you know, citizenry.
00:55:01.000They want to just import people that they think will vote more friendly to the Democrats.
00:55:08.000So prior to working for myself, I actually worked for the prosecuting attorney's office in Jefferson County as a victim advocate for almost three years.
00:55:16.000So I actually saw this firsthand where we were dealing with...
00:55:20.000Illegal immigrants that committed really bad crimes to citizens.
00:55:25.000So my question is, should we, if we catch these people in our country and we're like, hey, you've done really bad stuff, should we just automatically kick them out?
00:55:36.000Or should we make them stand trial first and then kick them out?
00:55:41.000Stand trial in their country for the crimes.
00:55:44.000Make sure they get locked up in the country that we deport them back to, as I think...
00:55:47.000Can we make sure that that actually happens, though?
00:55:50.000If they want good relationships with the United States, they better...
00:55:53.000So, as it pertains to some of these really bad criminals, the Trump administration has dropped the criminal charges to get them out of the country faster.
00:56:00.000That is not the United States' responsibility to deal with criminal gang members.
00:56:11.000My concern is that if they do go back to their country, that they might, if they aren't arrested and locked up there, they might get out and come back into the U.S. because it's so easy for them to cross back over and then try to re-victimize their original victim, just because that's how bad our border security is right now.
00:58:38.000You know what it is largely is they view themselves egotistically.
00:58:43.000You know, a great example is, and I don't mean to be kind of a dick, but when Tara Palmieri was here, she's this Brooklyn-based journalist.
00:58:58.000The Green Room episode was actually feminism versus, like, you know, I was basically saying a lot of women lie to win sexual harassment suits at the workplace.
00:59:13.000If you can argue with me and I'm going to get all heated and you're going to get all heated and then afterwards, it's like, I'm not fazed by it.
00:59:18.000However, she said she always wanted to be a muckraker.
00:59:23.000This is the narcissistic personality disorder of these journalists.
00:59:27.000They view themselves as the main character, as the arbiters of truth and justice in the American way.
00:59:33.000They think that they are on a mission to save the planet and only they can do it.
00:59:38.000They are pure ego and sociopathic narcissism, just tightly wound.
00:59:46.000And so when they see Trump and they're stupid...
00:59:49.000They're midwits, really, which means they're actually a little bit smarter than normal, but not smart enough to understand deep, complex systems.
01:00:15.000Well, and I think it's similar to the way that we're treating science these days, too, because it should be in a real good experiment that you just see what happens.
01:00:24.000You have your hypothesis, but then you just reach whatever conclusion there is.
01:00:28.000And that's what journalists should be doing, is doing real journalism.
01:02:24.000Because if you can't change your mind in the presence of facts, you are in a cult.
01:02:30.000Like, and she's desperate to hold onto that.
01:02:32.000Yeah, and it was astonishing because in this new media space, I don't feel like you could still be buying that hard into fake news like that.
01:02:39.000But she was really willing to stand by it.
01:02:41.000And then the way she started looking at us weird, like we were trying to push, like we were getting, like we were the fake news.
01:03:27.000Between the feminine and masculine worldviews, I'm not trying to drag women by saying this, but the saying goes that women are subject-oriented, men are object-oriented, which means guys are going to look at the video and say, that is the thing.
01:03:40.000Women are going to look to the people and say, what is the thing?
01:03:44.000And so they're much more influenced by social pressures, which is why young girls are more likely to get depressed from Instagram and TikTok and things like that, and why you can show a news article.
01:03:55.000And a video to a female Brooklyn journalist proving she's wrong and she won't believe it.
01:04:26.000And if you do that, people will trust you more.
01:04:30.000To me, I've always found that just being honest, sharing your, you know, whatever is there, will actually in the long run help you out more.
01:07:00.000He gave carte blanche to the far-left extremists to go and riot.
01:07:05.000They must feel in their bones that when we survive this shameful episode of American history with our democracy intact, because we have no alternative but to do just that, that we will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors.
01:09:40.000But it's such an interesting coalition that the Democrats are managing to assemble because while you have Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running around the country saying, fight the oligarchy, you still have many Democrat billionaires at the top of their party telling people to...
01:10:08.000This is no different than things that Maxine Waters was saying in 2020 or 2021.
01:10:16.000It's been the same MO in the context of Donald Trump and Republicans because they don't just mean Donald Trump.
01:10:25.000Donald Trump has fundamentally changed the Republican Party.
01:10:28.000The old school Republicans have really gone over to the progressive side very strongly.
01:10:34.000And so the idea that there are Republicans that would not be considered MAGA Republicans nowadays, I think that ship has sailed to the progressives.
01:10:46.000Everybody that's not a progressive, everybody that is a Republican is a MAGA Republican, and they might even likely be Republicans.
01:10:52.000I think that now that Donald Trump has shown that you can do things, I don't think there will be another president that comes in as a Republican that can just do whatever the Democrats want.
01:11:07.000Expect to be elected for a second term.
01:11:09.000I don't think that the party would be, or the base would be satisfied at all.
01:11:49.000You know, I was saying Civil War before was kind of funny that the side without the guns wants a Civil War.
01:11:55.000We've talked about this on the podcast before.
01:11:57.000If there is going to be Civil War, Civil Strife, let it happen when the Republicans are in control of the government so the Republicans have control of the military and let the left go ahead and take on the military.
01:13:01.000Shooting up Teslas cars and locations.
01:13:04.000Creating the space for more violence, whether it's, I was calling for a peaceful protest, all that's going to do is create more violence.
01:13:10.000And the point about these people calling for, or saying civil war is coming is, They genuinely are starting to recognize, and for whatever reason, they mocked me all the time when I said, you know, we are tracking towards civil war.
01:13:24.000It doesn't mean it happens, because we've been, like, the civil rights era was a civil strife period, didn't go to a civil war.
01:13:30.000But now that liberals are saying it, it certainly feels like we're on a highway with no exits.
01:13:35.000It's going in one direction, and all we can do is go as fast as we can.
01:13:42.000Of rallying the people so he can win in 2028 is telling them to rise up in perpetual mass uprising against Republicans, which we've already seen take violent form.
01:13:52.000The next move to one-up Pritzker for 2028 is going to be to say more.
01:13:56.000If you want to run for office as a Democrat and Pritzker has already staked the claim to, I have called for mass protests, what do you say?
01:14:04.000Well, I agree we should have mass protests.
01:14:06.000They'll say, then why would I vote for you?
01:14:30.000So they may say these things, but Trump won the popular vote.
01:14:35.000I don't think with these polls, you've got polls coming out saying Trump's underwater now, and it's like, his approval rating is like minus four.
01:14:41.000So it's just like, okay, within the margin of error, it could be minus one, it could be minus four, it could be a little bit more, minus seven.
01:14:52.000It doesn't mean people are motivated to do anything, but they are trying to create this perception of, you know, growing animosity towards Trump.
01:14:59.000The question then becomes, will that allow...
01:15:02.000Will that create a shift where Democrats actually once again have popular support for mass rioting?
01:15:57.000You know, isn't it crazy how Frederick, Maryland, is woke as a joke, and then you cross over into West Virginia, and it's substantially less?
01:16:52.000If there is something that happens, I think it's going to be more isolated incidents, more small firebombing of Tesla, those types of things.
01:17:01.000But the concern I have is when does that become...
01:17:08.000And one thing else I think that's important to see.
01:17:11.000Notice how he said coming up soon in summer, that's always when they like to have their big riots because it's when it's nice outside and they can rally people to go spend some time out there then.
01:17:44.000But I'm a fan of strategic tariffs targeting specific industries and resources because our industry has been gutted and U.S. can't compete with slave labor in foreign countries in Southeast Asia.
01:18:16.000And they apparently told him, we are weeks away from barren shelves at box stores.
01:18:22.000We are weeks away from going to Target and there not being silverware or clothing or food because of how much we get made in China.
01:18:32.000Now, it may be around, I think it's like 10 to 13 percent of our goods are made in China.
01:18:36.000But people need to understand that if there's a component that is made in China and is required for a TV, let's say that we get our TVs from China, to be honest, China and Korean stuff.
01:18:46.000But let's say that there is a vehicle that gets made, like we make our cars here in the United States and we source key components from China.
01:18:54.000So with the tariffs, you're going to see a shortage of a lot more than just these things.
01:20:05.000Well, because she lives out here too, and we live out here, and this is important.
01:20:08.000Because for some reason, this conservative town in a conservative state, in the second most Trump-supporting state in the country, has a liberal Democrat city council.
01:20:17.000And I asked a council member, how is that possible?
01:20:20.000And he says, Conservatives aren't going out and voting.
01:20:27.000And I think Facebook intentionally shut down your page to put their thumb on the scale, even though it's a small election.
01:20:34.000Their attitude is probably just damage as many conservative candidacies as we can across the board and get progressives in control of cities.
01:20:59.000There was nothing controversial on my page.
01:21:01.000And so I'm just so grateful that I'm a candidate who is on other social media platforms and actually has a voice to speak out about something like this happening.
01:21:10.000Thankfully, I'm going to try to still be able to maybe win my race, and this isn't going to be this huge, devastating blow, hopefully.
01:21:17.000But, I mean, they're clearly—what was the reason they gave for censoring your Facebook?
01:21:20.000They said, I broke community guidelines and that I was impersonating Courtney Nill.
01:21:26.000But you are— I am, in fact, Courtney Nill.
01:21:44.000They passed some kind of LGBTQ pride resolution or something?
01:21:48.000Well, I know that right now, on the books, no one's used it as far as I know.
01:21:53.000Currently, folks that are transgender and want to use the bathroom that they want to use, bathrooms, that applies to locker rooms, that they would...
01:22:03.000The businesses would have to allow them to use whatever bathroom or locker room that they want, or they could civilly be sued by, they were open for a civil lawsuit.
01:22:14.000Jefferson County recently, this is where Charles and his band, drag shows with kids too.
01:22:19.000Berkeley County, where we are, allow it.
01:22:21.000And in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which again, you'd think West Virginia is going to be red, they had a drag show in front of the building we own with children on stage.
01:22:31.000So I actually complained to the—at the time, he was agey, but now he's the governor, Morrissey.
01:24:03.000The most controversial thing that I had on there was footage from the farmer's market and highlighting local, small, family-owned businesses.
01:24:22.000Any attorneys, you're welcome to contact me.
01:24:24.000Courtney, I wanted to commend you for putting yourself out there and deciding to run this race.
01:24:30.000Obviously, the problem that you guys think here is that there are too many liberals on the city council, and that's because conservatives don't run.
01:24:36.000So that's why I commend you for running.
01:24:38.000Can you give us your quick elevator pitch on why you decided to run and what change you want to make in the community here?
01:24:44.000So I was born and raised in Charlestown, West Virginia.
01:24:50.000Like I said, I spent time at a prosecuting attorney's office, and at my time there, I was helping crime victims of Charlestown.
01:25:00.000I was trying to help them deal with all the problems that they are facing.
01:25:05.000And when you see sexual violence, when you see theft...
01:25:09.000Whatever it is, I'm like, okay, well, I want to help these people.
01:25:12.000So I decided to move on with my career, but I still want to help Charlestown.
01:25:17.000And I don't even want to think about it as being conservative or being liberal.
01:25:22.000We just need new ideas, new fresh perspectives.
01:25:25.000Right now, with city council, you have a lot of the people all just kind of go along with everything together rather than offering a different opinion.
01:25:33.000I still want to be kind and work with all these people, and I want to represent even the Democrats that are in my district.
01:25:39.000I want to represent them, too, and I want them to know that they can come to me with any problems, and I'm going to try to solve it, and I'm going to try to make a good life for them.
01:26:38.000Yeah, I'm grateful there's a little bit.
01:26:41.000What sparked the want to run beyond the generic wanting to make a difference in your community that you grew up in?
01:26:50.000What made you think this is something you could be successful in?
01:26:53.000Was there something that happened, a moment that you had where you went, this is wrong, I want to run to change because of this?
01:27:01.000I've spent a lot of time on X talking about politics.
01:27:04.000I talk about what I see is happening in the country, about what issues there are.
01:27:09.000And rather than just talking about it, I want to actually do something.
01:27:14.000Whether that means getting good people elected to these offices and volunteering on campaigns, working on campaigns, I've done all of that.
01:27:20.000And when my local community members brought it up to me, hey, we need some good people on Charlestown City Council.
01:29:23.000Your state reps, your city council, your state senators, they're the ones shaping the districts and the rules that affect the federal government.
01:29:30.000And too many people just vote for president and then they walk away.
01:29:34.000And then what happens is crackpots will lie about their...
01:29:37.000You know what we've been seeing in West Virginia?
01:29:39.000Is the far left has been claiming they're nonpartisan.
01:29:42.000Hiding their political views and then getting on school boards.
01:29:46.000And then all of a sudden the school is full of weird stuff.
01:29:49.000The kids are being taught weird sex stuff.
01:29:52.000This is actually happening in Jefferson County.
01:29:54.000And then parents are like, whoa, why is my kid learning this?
01:29:58.000And they look at the school board and they're like, that's a progressive leftist who moved here from out of town.
01:30:03.000I think a lot of people would be surprised at how much success they could have in local politics if they just put in an honest effort.
01:30:10.000In off-year elections, people already don't know who their local congresspeople are, let alone their local state and further down ballot in city council.
01:30:51.000You should win easily in West Virginia.
01:30:54.000I mean, Riley Moore is our rep, and he's got a bill that you brought up where he wants to strip the visas of, what, 300,000 Chinese national students because they're a threat to national security.
01:31:06.000I mean, that ain't no progressive position.
01:31:08.000That's a lot of Maryland men getting sent home.
01:31:10.000Or I suppose if they're Chinese nationals, they're California men or something.
01:31:25.000So, the people that show up to actually vote, there's a lot of people that are downtown, and that's where you have most of the more liberal voters all concentrated, is downtown, where they can walk to the polling place, because that's the thing.
01:31:39.000It's not this polling isn't taking place at people's regular polling locations that they use in the general election.
01:31:44.000No, this all occurs at City Hall and the people closest to City Hall tend to vote the most.
01:31:51.000And so my thing that I've been working on is going out to the other neighborhoods that are still Charlestown.
01:32:12.000So it's a red area that should have a Republican or conservative-leaning city council, but it's got a progressive city council that voted in a Pride Month resolution and things like that.
01:32:23.000And so that's what I find interesting.
01:32:26.000I'm just thinking, where is your competition, your opponent in this political race, a progressive, going to find support in this community to muster up these votes?
01:33:31.000There were other people that were thinking about becoming a write-in candidate that didn't know that they needed to go campaign in all four wards.
01:33:38.000So that's how little people know about the municipal election.
01:35:03.000Will Chamberlain will be debating Pisco Litti on the legality of the Abrego Garcia deportations.
01:35:08.000And we've got, I think, like 17 submissions from members to join us on stage and actually get in that debate.
01:35:16.000So it's going to be, it's the pilot episode of Culture War Live.
01:35:19.000We have no idea if it's going to work, which is why we're really glad Alex Stein's going to be there, because he will just insult people and make jokes and will be entertained no matter what happens.
01:35:28.000But we hope that you guys get involved.
01:35:46.000Matt Ride says angry cops made some serious allegations against the Buffalo School Board regarding covering up abuse and attempted kidnappings in the district and not reporting to the police.
01:38:13.000He knows that if you get a Pierre Polyev, he's a stopgap.
01:38:17.000He's not far right or anything like that.
01:38:20.000He's just kind of middle of the road but leans left.
01:38:23.000So Trump's attitude is, no, no, no, no.
01:38:25.000Canada needs to suffer under far-left, psychotic, sociopathic nonsense.
01:38:29.000And so, and I'm half kidding, by the way.
01:38:32.000But Trump was interviewed by Goldberg at the Atlantic, and he's basically saying, you know, he was asked this, and he's like, yeah, I don't care.
01:39:47.000Greenland needs to become a sovereign part of the United States, too.
01:39:50.000The Panama Canal, all you need is one aircraft carrier on one side and one aircraft carrier on the other, and then I think the decision's been made.
01:39:58.000The most important part, though, is going to be able to cross, because if it blows up, then...
01:40:02.000You know, we can't transport our Navy across.
01:40:57.000Archimedes with that law of water displacement, I'm telling you.
01:40:59.000So one of the drawbacks to this is that it requires a ton of water to do, and at the Panama Canal, they're running out of water, and it's making them be able to accept less transport as a result of it.
01:41:12.000Because it goes through a lake, doesn't it?
01:41:46.000It's a freshwater lake called the Gatton Lake, and it's a major part of the canal where the ships go through, so you can't just bring in seawater.
01:41:53.000And yeah, the Chinese wanted to build the Nicaraguan Canal, which is insane, because it's a massive landmass.
01:42:10.000This is like 10 years ago they were trying to do it.
01:42:12.000China cannot have any major projects on this side of the hemisphere, in any part of the Western Hemisphere.
01:42:18.000We need a renewal of the Monroe Doctrine.
01:42:20.000Obviously, the Nicaraguan Canal didn't go anywhere, but the fact that they were even, you know, considering it, they also had weird influence in Panama that we need to be very aware of.
01:42:29.000The Chinese cannot have any influence in South America.
01:42:32.000We need a renewal of the Monroe Doctrine.
01:43:22.000Doesn't mean anything if he doesn't get removed in the Senate.
01:43:24.000Like, mazel tov, you didn't do anything.
01:43:27.000Tyler Pruitt says, remember Eric July basically said the following, until you realize you're playing a game against people who don't care about the rules, you will lose when trying to follow the rules.
01:45:27.000I mean, actually, I can't even break down because it's subjective, but like one billboard in Chicago might be like 10 grand for the month, upwards of 30 or 40 grand.
01:46:23.000What I actually had said was, Moody's analytics in early 2020, I think, was projecting a possible Trump landslide victory based on the economic factors until COVID happened.
01:46:51.000And also comments I had made where I'd said things like, get this.
01:46:55.000I said, if Trump appoints Andrew Yang as an economic advisor and Tulsi Gabbard as a national security advisor and then does something like issues pardons for all nonviolent pot offenders, 49-state landslide.
01:47:08.000And 49-state landslide isn't a literal term, but these people don't understand.
01:50:19.000Some of them get much higher than others.
01:50:21.000I do think people need to consider that you don't know why or where views come from.
01:50:26.000So when you look at analytics for channels, one thing to consider is that shorts get substantially more views.
01:50:31.000So if you pull up anyone, conservative, liberal, otherwise, you're going to see huge spikes in their views, but check their shorts.
01:50:37.000It's probably when they launched shorts on their channel, which added views to their channel.
01:50:40.000What I will say is for David or me or anybody else.
01:50:44.000Sometimes what happens is a network might grab your video and embed it.
01:50:47.000And so like, however, whatever drudge has going on, I don't know how big they are these days, but if they put your video on the front page and they have a million people watching, your video will get a massive amount of traffic.
01:50:58.000So that could be a reason why you see weird swings like that.
01:51:00.000I found a lot of social media platforms, algorithms have been very fickle in the past couple of years.
01:51:07.000One thing that'll go viral one month, a couple of months later, it'll be something totally different.
01:51:11.000A lot of tweaking, I've noticed on YouTube, on X, on Instagram.
01:52:48.000I think what happens is if you take three people who don't know each other, and let's say they're all slightly anti-Trump or something, you lock them in a room and have them just talk to each other,
01:53:04.000and they will wind each other up rapidly over a period of time and then leave the most ardent anti-Democrat, pro-Trump, crazy.
01:53:12.000So what I think happened to Kyle and Crystal Ball is they were both kind of rational.
01:53:18.000They got together and started going back and forth, and then they keep one-upping until, in their internal echo chamber, they went insane.
01:53:26.000And now Kyle routinely just insults Joe Rogan.
01:55:12.000And so I think it was him saying this, that it's possible that the woolly mammoth was in a temperate climate.
01:55:17.000The poles shifted, and then this basically puts the equator, where it was kind of warm, into a colder region, and then super cold, super quick.
01:58:20.000Kamikaze says Katie Hobbs' admin is under investigation.
01:58:23.000An Arizona Department of Agriculture state employee was just arrested for trying to smuggle Mexican nationals across the AZ border near Nogales, charging them $7,000 to $12,000.
02:00:08.000All of Canadian politicians, national Canadian politicians have to learn French only because of Quebec or they can't win national politics.
02:00:20.000You know, I think one of the craziest things I've learned about Canada in the last year is that the places where they have so many polar bears, people aren't allowed to have guns.
02:01:01.000Ms. Fitbrat says, as a stenographer, I can tell you that courts make a specific record for illegal defendants and refer to a list of immigration-neutral consequences that they often offer as pleas to avoid ICE if the original charge is deportable.
02:01:40.000Hey, Illinois clown, how about focusing on lowering taxes, less regulation, fighting inflation, lowering crime, strengthening the border, and national security instead of protests and megaphones?
02:12:15.000But you can buy a campaign t-shirt that has, like, your name printed on it.
02:12:20.000So if I got the blazer, I'd have to make sure that I put my name on it where people was visible.
02:12:24.000So then it was a campaign item and not a clothing item.
02:12:29.000You don't want to skirt those campaign finance rules end up like George Santos, by the way, who just got sentenced to, what, 80-some-odd months in jail?
02:12:44.000I was considering trying to ask about it in the press briefing room if they're considering a pardon, but I don't even really care enough to.
02:12:59.000If you just go there, it's the city website, and then they'll have a special little tab that you can go to for elections.
02:13:06.000You can see the sample ballot over there.
02:13:10.000In Brooklyn, where I used to live, there were probably more than 10,000 people within like, I don't know, maybe a quarter mile square radius.
02:13:17.000So it's just crazy the difference in how sparsely populated these areas are.
02:13:21.000Yeah, the yards are a little bit bigger.
