It s finally cold outside, but the ice is melting in Minneapolis. Plus, Billie Eilish has eaten her words that she said the Grammys about being on stolen land. Turns out, a law firm is going to offer to serve her eviction notice for her $3 million home. And also, close to my heart, near and dear, comedian Ben Bankus rips a Minnesota venue after six of his sold-out shows are canceled over backlash over his Renee Good jokes.
00:00:28.000Hey, everybody, Chrissy Mayer here, guest hosting for Tim Pool.
00:00:33.000We got so much fun stuff to talk about today.
00:00:36.000Six more weeks of winter, but the ice is already melting in Minneapolis as Tom Holman orders a partial reduction in ICE agents in Minneapolis.
00:00:47.000Plus, ooh, Billie Eilish, she's eaten her words that she said the Grammys about being on stolen land.
00:00:53.000Turns out a law firm is going to offer to serve Billie Eilish eviction notice for her $3 million home, which is built on guess what?
00:01:03.000And also, close to my heart, near and dear, comedian and friend of mine, Ben Bankus, rips Minnesota venue after six of his sold-out shows are canceled over backlash over his Renee Good jokes, which I think are pretty good.
00:01:19.000All this and more after a word from our Jewish overlords.
00:01:24.000Tax Network USA, my friends, visit tnusa.com/slash Tim.
00:01:29.000Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed in years?
00:01:32.000Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
00:01:34.000With a national conversation around abolishing the income tax system, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.
00:01:42.000They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more than in recent years.
00:01:47.000They're sending out, I'm sorry, if you owe, the IRS can take your wages, bank accounts, Social Security, retirement, and even your home.
00:01:54.000If you owe and haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act, it's when.
00:01:58.000Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand and what they can stop before it's too late.
00:02:07.000Their powerful programs and strategies can save you thousands or even eliminate your debt entirely if you qualify.

00:02:16.000Waiving your rights can cost you more money.
00:02:40.000It is Venice.ai, which I asked it, why are you the best at AI?
00:02:44.000And it said, I'm designed to be a powerful and versatile AI assistant because I prioritize providing direct, unfiltered, and comprehensive information.
00:02:49.000Unlike other models that may restrict responses due to safety guidelines or political correctness, I operate without censorship, allowing me to answer questions on difficult, controversial, or adult topics honestly.
00:02:58.000I treat you as an adult capable of handling free speech and complex ideas without needing watered-down answers or content warnings.

00:03:30.000Messages are encrypted and your conversation history is stored only in your browser.
00:03:34.000AI can be extremely valuable, but we shouldn't give up our privacy to use it.
00:03:38.000The Venice Pro plan unlocks the full platform and features, including PDF uploads for summaries or insights.
00:03:44.000That's actually one of the most useful things.
00:03:45.000One of the most annoying things to me is you'll get like a document and you can't actually highlight text because it's an image and not a text file.
00:03:52.000Now you can get that sorted and you can turn off safe mode for unhindered image generation.
00:03:57.000And I know a lot of people think that sounds naughty, but actually, this does have a lot of the image modeling for AI.
00:06:10.000Tom Holman says 700 ICE and CBP officers are leaving Minneapolis, which I know is probably going to make leftists excited because to them it's going to seem like a win.
00:06:22.000But the reduction is a significant scaling back of the Department of Homeland Security's presence in Minnesota, and it comes after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot, which sucks.
00:06:31.000But it seems that the local police are like, debatable.
00:06:35.000It seems like the local police are working with us to kind of like stop the illegals.
00:06:42.000So that will necessitate the taking away of these ICE peoples.
00:06:47.000President Donald Trump's Borders Are, Tom Holman said, Wednesday that 700 immigration and border agents are departing the Minneapolis area after weeks of violent confrontations and the fatal shootings of the two U.S. citizens.
00:06:57.000Holman said the departing group includes agents and officers from immigration and customs enforcement, as well as customs and border protection.
00:07:04.000The withdrawal shrinks the federal footprint from about 3,000 agents to 2,300.
00:07:10.000Now, I'm no size queen, but that's still a good amount to keep there.
00:07:44.000And that's really a deep sentiment at most corporate headquarters right now in the media.
00:07:48.000This makes ICE look like a good guy's to the left because they're pulling troops out of Minneapolis, giving them their autonomy back.
00:07:54.000Makes people, you know, it makes the Minneapolis government look good to people on the right because now they're acknowledging they're going to use local cops to hold these illegal immigrants and then pass them off.
00:09:04.000Like, have like everyone that goes through a toll booth going across to George Washington has to provide their papers to prove that they're an American citizen.
00:09:12.000Listen, I have the most far-right opinion on immigration here.
00:09:52.000So there's still a lot of ICE agents there.
00:09:54.000They ended up getting the concession, which is what Tom Holman said he wanted day one of the Trump administration, which was to be able to pick up these people who have committed crimes from jails, not just prisons.
00:10:06.000Before, they would only release from prisons after they served their sentence.
00:10:10.000Now you get popped for a basic arrest and you're an illegal alien.
00:10:13.000They're going to inform ICE they're going to get you.
00:10:16.000The barricades that we're seeing, these random like Antifa losers set up all over Minneapolis, those are also coming down, at least according to Holman in the press conference that he had.
00:10:25.000So what does the left actually get except for like the semblance of achieving something?
00:11:52.000The point is to drum up resistance to Donald Trump and to convince people that there is a massive authoritarian fascist government that's coming for your rights.
00:12:01.000Remember, they love to point out that these two people that were killed are American citizens and they were just there exercising their First Amendment rights, which is total bullshit, right?
00:12:10.000The whole, from top to bottom, that narrative is a lie.
00:12:13.000So I just wanted to push back on the idea that they just want them to stop because it's not even about the immigrants.
00:12:53.000Like, you know, taking ICE agents out of Minneapolis.
00:12:56.000How does this look like a win to the right?
00:12:58.000Like, and, you know, Phil, I take your point on the checkpoints, but like, if you just did it once in that city and get them all out at that point.
00:13:06.000CBP can stop people within 100 miles of the coast or any border in the U.S.
00:13:11.000That covers something like 85% of the American population.
00:13:14.000If you're in Chicago, you're on Lake Michigan, you're close enough where they can go ahead and pull you out of the car if they want to.
00:13:20.000So, and look, spending a lot of time on the road on tour, there have been multiple times where the CBP has pulled our bus over and like, hey, what's going on in here?
00:13:27.000Just checking to make sure you're all white.
00:13:48.000And I agree with you, but I think there's a lot of people on the right that are saying, I wish he was like 10% of the fascist authoritarian that the left says he is.
00:13:57.000But this is, it's more efficient to pick up the illegal immigrants from the jails.
00:14:01.000Because it's like a broken window system.
00:14:03.000This is what Tom Holman wanted from the jump.
00:14:05.000Again, go back to day one of term two of Trump's administration.
00:14:08.000He's like, if you don't do this, then we're going to do the raids.
00:14:31.000We need to de-escalate all the craziness that's around this immigration issue so that we don't get more people sent out to sacrifice themselves like Renee Goode or what's his name, Predty.
00:14:53.000They just buzz your biometrics and they know are you thinking right or are you thinking bad thoughts?
00:14:59.000And we can't just even get we can't even get Congress to pass a voter ID law.
00:15:03.000You think we're going to get Congress to pass a law that says everybody has to have an easy pass in their car that proves that they're a citizen?
00:15:08.000What if they just scale your license or your new license that has all your data?
00:15:12.000Again, you can't even, there's arguments against getting voter ID.
00:15:15.000Any kind of ID stuff is not happening.
00:16:16.000I'm just saying, it's just crazy because the right can't play the games that the left play.
00:16:21.000It's also like the immigration issue is also a legal immigration issue that I think we need to address because I'm so sick of these legal immigrants like always talking about how they did it the right way.
00:16:30.000Like we don't want a bunch of people in our country that are just good at paperwork.
00:16:35.000Like honestly, I'd rather have renegade Somalis that are marrying their brother in this country because they're real rebels and that's how they get into this nation.
00:16:43.000That's the foundation of this nation instead of all these nerds and geeks that are like, oh, I followed the people.
00:16:48.000So you want more literal retards with 68 IQ coming in.
00:16:52.000Listen, like they can't spell learning, but you know what?
00:16:56.000And they're not even doing, you know, they're not doing their own paperwork.
00:17:00.000No, there's a, there's a total, there's a whole administration that's going to help them.
00:17:03.000But, Sean, to your point about the left and the right, part of the reason why the right can't use the same tactics that the left can use is because the right doesn't have the same goals, right?
00:17:11.000You can't just be like, well, they're effective and they're going this way.
00:17:15.000So we're going to do the same thing to get to this other place.
00:17:21.000Like if you're like going, if one person's going to McDonald's and the other person's going to Burger King and you're just like, we're going to go to McDonald's.
00:17:27.000We're just going to take the shorter route and you're not going to end up where you want to be.
00:17:51.000You should go after people that rent to illegals.
00:17:54.000Those kind of things are actually effective because you want to make it as difficult for them to live here as possible.
00:17:59.000That's way more effective than trying to go out and check people's papers, make it hard for them to exist in the society.
00:18:06.000That'll get people to leave, making it, you know, putting up checkpoints and trying to go door to door and be like, hey, are you illegal?
00:18:13.000That's just going to give more fuel to the left.
00:18:15.000And it's going to have people say, no, no, no, I can't deal with this anymore because people are already a little bit squishy on getting rid of them.
00:18:28.000If you go ahead and start knocking on doors and saying, look, we want to check to make sure everybody here, you're going to see that 75% drop down to 25%.
00:18:54.000Just take your property and send them to Somalia.
00:18:57.000If you want to shut it down, that's a real punishment.
00:19:02.000Like going to jail, it's like, oh, I'm going to get bailed out.
00:19:04.000But if you get sent to Somalia, no, no, no.
00:19:05.000I mean, you can go to prison, not jail, and there's a difference.
00:19:08.000But if you're losing the business, right?
00:19:11.000So you've got a trucking business and you've got, you know, $20 million worth of equipment that you own and you own a building and blah, blah, blah.
00:19:18.000If you hire illegals, then you lose your business.
00:19:22.000That will be the strongest disincentive that I can think of.
00:19:25.000Yeah, I just don't think jail's painful enough, especially for the business owners that are doing this because they know they're hiring illegals.
00:20:10.000You know, a business owner gets kicked out and sent to Thailand or Mexico or whatever, and they have to live there for the rest of their life.
00:20:16.000This is all going to be fixed in five years anyways, because Optimus is going to be available for $25,000, $30,000, and that's cheaper than any you can pay any illegal anyways.
00:20:35.000It's going to help the people cross the street and wipe the old people's butts.
00:20:39.000And it's like, they say that, but until it like takes over.
00:20:42.000What if I buy, what if I order my Optimus from Mexico and it illegally crosses the border into the United States?
00:20:48.000No, what I actually thought would be better is like giving the Optimus robots full citizenship while like deporting all the illegals out at the same time.
00:20:57.000And they're like at the border for an Optimus mariachi band and they don't know when to stop playing.
00:21:46.000There's already 1.1 million Teslas with full self-driving on the road today.
00:21:52.000Robots are not going to just take over because if they were going to just start killing people, you'd have already seen it with the Teslas that can drive.
00:23:10.000A cheeky reporter visited Billie Eilish's $3 million LA mansion and asked to be let in days after her stolen land comment at the Grammys, only to be met by a massive locked fence surrounding the property video shows.
00:24:18.000She used to have lime green roots for a long time, and now she's gone.
00:24:23.000But anyway, her acceptance speech at the Grammys wind firm, Billie Eilish raised a few eyebrows with a political statement.
00:24:29.000She claimed that there are no illegal people on stolen land, which was like she thought her mic dropped moment.
00:24:36.000And she was referencing the oh-so recent colonization of the U.S. and reminding everybody who the actual immigrants are, which is hilarious.
00:24:44.000And now she seemed to forgot that her own $3 million mansion is built on the ancestral land of the Tongva tribe.
00:25:44.000They lost more than one state, but you lose by getting your butt kicked in a war.
00:25:48.000But they have a really big opportunity here to set precedent.
00:25:52.000I mean, you know, for California, they can literally side with this tribe and take away her land, which is essentially what the end goal of WOC is anyway, is to steal people's property.
00:26:15.000I could see them, yeah, taking a stand and be like, well, you know, yeah, we should give it an opportunity to, they're going to side with the minority, right?
00:28:06.000Like she has a really big fence to keep all these people out of her property.
00:28:10.000So like when you have a really big fence, you could say hypocritical things and just hide behind your border while saying that the world should be borderless.
00:28:17.000They're just imaginary lines on paper until you enter her property rights where armed guards will swarm you and a better police response than you're going to get in worse areas of LA will immediately surge and descend upon you.
00:28:29.000Like there's, it's all a virtue signal.
00:28:31.000Like it was meant for that moment on stage.
00:28:34.000There's not going to be any follow-up.
00:28:35.000If there is, she's going to do like, oh, I donated to the sad Native Americans crying over littering or whatever foundation.
00:29:40.000It's both empty virtue signaling and used as a weapon at the same time.
00:29:44.000It's empty because no elected official is giving the land back to the Tongva, just like Billie Eilish is not going to get evicted, nor will she give her house back.
00:31:56.000I personally think that they're more organized than the right is, but you hear the left talking about how the left is usually a circular firing squad, et cetera, all the time.
00:32:15.000Isn't that just cultural appropriation?
00:32:17.000What she should do, honestly, is like do a jeans commercial and then say, I got good jeans or whatever, and then completely go the other way.
00:32:25.000All she has to do is do her makeup and wear something actually pretty.
00:32:28.000And then everyone's going to stop talking about this and be like, oh, Billie Eilish.
00:33:58.000Like, nothing was as good as a bunch of illegals a couple of years showing up at Martha's Vineyard and just how quickly the residents rounded all of them up, put them back on a bus.
00:34:09.000And then they celebrated them as they got left.
00:34:12.000They were waving, like, it's okay, Esmeralda.
00:34:17.000Then they got together for a dinner party and patted themselves on the back.
00:34:20.000Yeah, and these celebrities, it's never going to change because they never actually have to deal with the real world.
00:34:26.000They never actually have to deal with, I mean, of course, they all have a great view of illegals because they're skimming the crap out of their pool.
00:34:41.000Yeah, isn't it obnoxious that the illegals that work in her property aren't allowed to look her in the eye in their day-to-day jobs and she's going to lecture us about how we treat them?
00:35:41.000And it's not to compare Billie Eilish and Nick Fuentes, but Nick is a guy who's coming up in his late 20s saying crazy shit on the internet when he's 19.
00:35:48.000She obviously has a level of ignorance about her if she's just saying these colloquialisms without understanding ancient history.
00:36:47.000I would have had more respect if she was dressed like a full communist and just saying, we need to rip down America and America needs to go.
00:37:44.000I mean, where would we be without Billie Ellish telling us that the whole of America is stolen and our entire country is illegitimate and we should give it back to nobody because she's not willing to give anything back?
00:37:57.000Yeah, maybe it's because of what she said that ICE pulled out of Minneapolis.
00:38:13.000If you guys don't know who Ben Bankus is, oh my gosh, please look him up, follow him, go to one of his shows.
00:38:19.000He is a comedian out of Toronto, and he recently had a bunch of shows canceled because he made some jokes about Renee Goode.
00:38:28.000From the New York Post, a comedian rips Minnesota venue after six sold-out shows canceled over backlash to Renee Good.
00:38:35.000A Minnesota comedy club abruptly canceled six of his sold-out shows by comedian Ben Bankus after a viral clip of his stand-up routine, which he mocked a woman who was shot and killed by ICE, Ignited Outrage.
00:38:47.000It's called Laugh Camp Comedy Club in St. Paul.
00:38:50.000It pulled the plug on his January 30th through February 1st performances after Backlash erupted over these jokes.
00:38:58.000And let's watch a little bit of Z's jokes because they're pretty funny.
00:39:05.000Will you guys let me know if they're offensive?
00:39:08.000of course not well we need to get rid of whiteness Well, we started.
00:39:49.000It's just a crazy thing that we're defending.
00:39:51.000And we have politicians, crazy politicians defending what this woman was doing, which was basically just, you know, running around being a psychopath.
00:40:20.000Like, if you started freaking out and chasing around federal agents as you, like, she got, she, like, she should have been shot 10 minutes before that, but they didn't shoot her because she was just a dumb lesbian, crazy bitch.
00:41:23.000Or after a couple drinks, I call her Ice Ice Lady.
00:41:30.000But she's dead, and, you know, it's a damn shame.
00:41:39.000It's always good when you can't get food wrong.
00:41:41.000The left doesn't know what to do because they, you know, they just spent the last, you know, three months celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
00:41:49.000And then they're looking at, do you have no, we're like, no, she deserved it.
00:41:58.000We're not celebrating it, though, right?
00:42:00.000We're not like, there's no Republicans out there making videos being like, I'm glad that stupid bitch is dead.
00:43:20.000And of course they do, and they use that to cancel his shows.
00:43:23.000The left was actually celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.
00:43:25.000Like you had representatives in Congress go on the congressional floor, quote mine him, lie about what he said In order to justify voting down a resolution on his assassination.
00:43:38.000Like, you've had multiple people defame him after the fact, go after his wife, like do all these crazy things post-Charlie Kirk's death.
00:43:45.000And immediately after, even before he was dead, they were online celebrating that he got shot.
00:43:52.000Yeah, conservatives like struggle with comedy because they have to be the party of seriousness and stuff.
00:43:57.000You know, when Tony, Tony Henchcliffe did the Puerto Rico garbage island jokes, like, it was really kind of disappointing with MAGA, from my opinion.
00:44:06.000Like, the only person that actually handled that properly was Vance.
00:44:11.000People need to get over the idea that the Republicans are the party of seriousness because Donald Trump is the president.
00:44:24.000The fact that he's the president is actually kind of hilarious too.
00:44:29.000The guy from The Apprentice, like the idea that the Republicans are the serious party, leave that crap in the first 25 years of the 21st century.
00:44:39.000I agree with you, but actions speak louder than words.
00:44:41.000After Tony did his set in New York, it was like the Republicans were the ones whinging, right?
00:44:47.000It was really only Vance that came out and said, look, we're not going to get upset over jokes.
00:44:50.000Even Trump was like, I don't know the guy, never met him.
00:44:53.000I think the whinging was because there were some people on the right that were truly like, oh, God, is this going to screw us over?
00:44:58.000Because people, anybody with TDS was using that.
00:45:00.000They were like, Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.
00:45:22.000It's expensive to ship between two U.S. ports because we have the stupid ass law that prevents that from being able to happen unless the ships are crewed, built, and like manned by a U.S. crew.
00:45:33.000It's an absurd law that limits us not only in Puerto Rico, but in Hawaii.
00:45:37.000But that's like a serious point that we don't need to get into.
00:45:39.000You don't need to fact check the joke.
00:45:41.000The point was, is that they were not going to shift all the problems that they had with the Biden economy over one joke told at Madison Square Garden.
00:45:50.000That was like always a left-wing thing.
00:45:51.000And yeah, a bunch of Republicans were freaking out because they're like, we're going to lose the election because Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke.
00:45:58.000And the Puerto Rican voters absolutely loved it.
00:45:59.000And yeah, Tony actually told the story.
00:46:01.000He's like, that was actually kind of a leftist environmentalist joke, meaning like, because like you're saying, it's an environmental problem with the garbage in Puerto Rico.
00:46:18.000We need to get behind people like Bankas, even Chrissy yourself.
00:46:21.000I mean, you know, we kind of saw it with Stein's show, Alex Stein.
00:46:24.000Like, it does struggle on the conservative vein because when you start doing wild, wacky stuff, like conservatives have a hard time supporting.
00:46:33.000I mean, the Blaze was never built for comedy.
00:46:36.000It was never a priority or a concern for them.
00:47:32.000I don't find jokes about if you, if you think, I've seen like if you think left and right or like Republic, if you get lost in that binary duality, it's it's not funny.
00:47:42.000It loses comedic that, like, it's not, it's just dumb, low-hanging fruit to make half the audience laugh at their tribe, tribal joke.
00:47:50.000It's so, it doesn't, like, real comedy gets people unexpectedly.
00:49:23.000But like the people who always, because I'm someone who's had many shows canceled, the people who make an effort to cancel your shows are never people who buy tickets to see any comedian.
00:49:33.000It's not like they're out there passionate and seeing left-wing comedians.
00:49:37.000It's like they just want you impoverished.
00:49:39.000They want your income and your livelihood demolished.
00:49:43.000And I believe the, in a statement shared with people, the club owner, Bill Collins, said the decision came after weighing escalating risks.
00:49:56.000After discussions with and concern from public authorities, legal counsel and staff combined with heightened threats, increasing, it's also your job as a comedy club to make sure you are staffing adequate security for whatever level of celebrity or edginess of the talent you have coming in.
00:50:14.000They always make that argument, though.
00:50:34.000Like you've hosted events where like the Antifa people have showed up and surrounded the event and like we've had to walk through them in order to get there.
00:50:42.000I understand that as a safety concern, but this just feels like capitulation and like that's what I'm against, the cowardice.
00:50:48.000Now, granted, if like the cost to like run this event goes up exponentially and the ticket sales don't cover that for the venue, then they have like an actual economic argument.
00:50:57.000But it seems like he told this joke, it went viral on the internet.
00:51:01.000And then they're like, whoa, we got to get away from that.
00:51:03.000We can't have that because they're worried about people who weren't even going to buy tickets in the first place, but they may surround the place and like, you know, do all the crazy things that Antifa does because remember, they don't get arrested for this.
00:51:14.000Like there's no consequences for this.
00:51:16.000There's no January 6th style investigation that's hunting the Antifa people all around the country for trespassing.
00:51:22.000Like they got away with the Black Lives Matter rights and then they were paid for it.
00:51:26.000Like they got payouts from every major municipality.
00:51:28.000So they're emboldened to do stuff like this.
00:51:30.000So it's not nothing, but I still wish they would have stood up.
00:51:33.000Yeah, I appreciate Ian taking the other side on this, but I just can't get behind it.
00:51:38.000And we have reached out to Ben to come on the show.
00:51:39.000Lisa has reached out, so hopefully he's been on before, too.
00:54:00.000But your job is to make sure there's asses in the seats.
00:54:03.000That's why a lot of these comedy club owners over the last, I don't know, 10 years or so, they'll book a TikTok talent and just be like, here's your stage.
00:54:10.000Figure out what to do for 45 minutes an hour.
00:54:14.000So not to censor the comedian once you've booked them.
00:54:17.000Your job is to censor who comes on your venue.
00:54:19.000If you're a platform owner, you have to know that he's a curate.
00:54:22.000You're curate more than censor, but I guess you're smart.
00:54:36.000It's based on skill, though, not content.
00:54:38.000Yeah, I don't respect a club owner who books somebody months in advance, knowing what their content is like, knowing what their politics is like, and then just being a wuss and canceling somebody, oh, because it got a little hot because of one viral joke.
00:54:52.000It's like, you want the comedians who you've booked to have, to go viral before you have shows.
00:55:13.000It's also you're like, as a comedian, like you do this, you work out your material in these little like gigs.
00:55:18.000Like it didn't used to be that you would get recorded and clipped and then, you know, before you actually like refine the joke to the point you want to present it in like a special or something like that.
00:55:28.000So, like, it's just like a weakness in our culture that we don't understand that they're developing material over time or sometimes just throwing stuff out there.
00:55:43.000They just had an article in one of the WAPOs or whatever, New York or whatever, being heralded for being champions of free speech, for literally fixing the problem that they created by kicking a bunch of creators off their platform forever and like censoring everyone.
00:56:00.000But no, I mean, like, Rumble, like I said, we're at the House of Rumble right now, and that's the whole idea.
00:56:07.000It's like, let the people on that you don't like.
00:56:10.000That, you know, we should all be in support of that, especially doing this show, Ian.
00:56:38.000We were talking about this earlier to think that just because you platform somebody means you sign off and agree with every take they've ever had.
00:56:45.000And it's just, hey, have the people on, have the people perform and let the market decide.
00:57:14.000The Washington Post is laying off one-third of its staff in the newsroom and other departments.
00:57:20.000Post began implementing large-scale cutbacks today.
00:57:23.000It is eliminating its sports department and shrinking the number of journalists at stations overseas.
00:57:29.000Executive editor Matt Murray says the cuts will be a shock to the system, but that the goal is to create an organization that can grow and thrive again.
00:57:37.000I like Brett Baer, but he does not look like he enjoys comedy.
00:58:12.000But what they're doing, what they're starting to do, and you're starting to see the new tactics with various outlets, they're getting into podcasting.
00:58:19.000I know CNN, I'm forgetting her name, but they had that podcaster on for a while.
00:58:50.000I don't think this is like the legacy media dying.
00:58:53.000If you look at what they're cutting, they're cutting their sports coverage.
00:58:55.000They're cutting some of their local coverage, but they're keeping the core reason why Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, which is this is the paper that politicians are looking at.
00:59:07.000Again, like we said, unless you're Trump, who's obsessed with the New York Times, but like for regular ordinary politicians, this is their thing.
00:59:14.000So what they're cutting is like their Olympic coverage.
00:59:17.000Like he said, they're not sending journalists overseas to the Winter Olympics.
00:59:22.000And part of the reason they're doing this is because they lost like a quarter of a million subscribers by not running an op-ed endorsing Kamala Harris last year because all these lefties are sad about it.
00:59:33.000So in order to get back at the company, they quit their subscriptions and now they fired their sports casters.
00:59:40.000You know, great impact right there by these wonderful individuals.
00:59:44.000More than 300 journalists across the newsroom were impacted, but the local and international desks targeted in addition to the sports section, according to reports.
00:59:51.000Just a handful of the sports team's 45 staffers survived the culling and were set to be reassigned around the organization.
00:59:58.000Or maybe they could just empty it out and make it an Amazon warehouse.
01:00:02.000I mean, to your point, though, Sean, yeah, the WAPO is an important spin machine for a billionaire.
01:00:09.000I mean, that's essentially what it is at this point.
01:02:49.000Like, there was somebody in the Trump team that was aware of the Maduro raid, and he put like $40,000 on Maduro being removed from power the day before.
01:03:28.000Like that year where that theory really took off, it's the color theory, that the logo of the Super Bowl, the colors of the teams will always match the logo.
01:03:45.000But to think a lot of teams have like red in their color scheme or it's like not that to think like the betting markets don't affect the game has been disproven by the FBI.
01:03:55.000So you think the game, the players in the game are seeing these prediction markets and it's affecting their game?
01:05:07.000Look, there is a big deal when you're laying off journalists because as much as fun as it is to make fun of the media, like we don't do as commentary people original reporting.
01:05:16.000So like even though you don't like a lot of these people, like I'm not going to a war zone to like report the facts of a war zone.
01:07:40.000Well, yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, but there's entire college departments based on that.
01:07:44.000Humanities departments are basically just like all about race and ethnicity and stuff now.
01:07:49.000Like race instances and like journalism, like fact-based journalism, like you don't think they go together.
01:07:54.000You think they're like bananas and rice, but they kind of are like bananas and rice in that they go together when you really think about it.
01:08:43.000Speaking of serious broadcast calls for serious news topics, this has been one, and there's a lot of men, all men, almost all men on this show tonight, which means we need to talk about this very important, viral topic, and that is who is more attractive, Sabrina Carpenter or Sidney Sweeney.
01:09:03.000Not to toot my own horn, but this tweet I tweeted did very well.
01:09:06.000Oh, straight men are so straight men are attracted to what seems like a low-maintenance beauty, confidence, and a sense of humor, while women and gays notice and appreciate obvious effort into one's appearance.
01:09:18.000Also, I can assume any smart man is turned off by an obvious Hollywood clapping seal who resembles a young Hillary Clinton.
01:09:40.000It seems like Sidney Sweeney, of course, obviously.
01:09:42.000It goes without saying her knockers are A ⁇ , S-tier knockers, for sure.
01:09:48.000Maybe that's why a lot of the men folks seem to like her.
01:09:51.000But I also think Sidney Sweeney, and I was, I forget who I was tweeting with about this, but I think part of what certainly men, I mean, correct me, men around me, but she seems to be a little bit more at ease with herself, not so constructed, not so manufactured like Sabrina is.
01:10:09.000She seems to just be comfortable in her own skin.
01:10:11.000She's not out there, you know, pretending to be liberal.
01:10:16.000She handled the whole American Eagle jeans controversy, I think, with a lot of class and grace.
01:11:07.000If she's shooting stuff into her face, that's gross and unhealthy and makes her sicker, which makes her a less viable candidate for mating, which makes her less attractive.
01:11:30.000You know, there's evidence that a hairdresser will cut the hair of a woman they think that.
01:11:36.000Yeah, a hairdresser that they, if they're cutting the hair of a woman they think is prettier than them, they will cut their hair shorter than if they think the woman is not as attractive as them.
01:12:17.000Look at that picture of Sidney Sweeney.
01:12:18.000She's just wearing a jacket and some sass.
01:12:20.000I'm telling you, these Hollywood tips and tricks that they do on these girls and guys, like, these people do not look like what they look like in these photos.
01:12:49.000An interview where that interviewer was trying to embarrass her.
01:12:52.000Yeah, and I wouldn't say that I'm not, you're right that there are consistently photos of people put out that are doctored and stuff, but this particular photo of Sidney Sweeney is very much a normal, not done up, because you've seen pictures of Sidney Sweeney when she's got just as much makeup as Sabrina Carpenter there.
01:13:10.000And I think she looks pretty in those photos, but you can tell the difference between the type of makeup that she's wearing when she's on the red carpet or when she's done up for a photo shoot.
01:13:19.000I mean, she just released a lingerie brand or whatever.
01:13:24.000All the pictures of that, she's all very done up, a lot of lipstick and blah, blah, blah.
01:13:28.000And so you can really tell the difference.
01:13:29.000That particular picture that we were just showing, right there, right, go up.
01:15:14.000Like, we were talking about this last night.
01:15:16.000So, like, literally in Hollywood, what they do is they take the foreskin of Asian babies and they thread it into their face to keep themselves young.
01:15:25.000I mean, what's going on in Hollywood is absolutely insane.
01:15:40.000I was just thinking all the work Madonna had done and, like, man, she was a good-looking woman, and now she looks like kind of a creature that was created in a laboratory.
01:15:47.000In Hollywood, the options are get old and be irrelevant or look insane.
01:16:26.000Either of you, any of you mentioned this, but like part of why people find Sidney Sweeney, because it's just maybe she seems like a better hang.
01:17:11.000Like, you know, again, while I don't like Sabrina Carper, I didn't even know she made music until my wife told me.
01:17:16.000Like, I don't like her because of that tall girl movie.
01:17:18.000Like, Sidney Sweeney's in that Euphoria show.
01:17:20.000And, like, you think you're going in there to see Sidney Sweeney, but the whole season one, it's like some fat girl discovering her sexuality and like Zendaya just being like on the show.
01:17:30.000So, like, you know, that is kind of a crime against Sidney Sweeney or like a mark against her that she lures you into that show, right?
01:19:53.000Yeah, I mean, look, they're both pretty, but I do think that it's pretty simple to say, look, I prefer this look or that look or that person to the other person.
01:20:00.000There is some kind of substance, I think, to Sean's point that, you know, the whole makeup thing there, they really do overdo it, I think.
01:20:11.000But the idea that you can never find pictures of people in Hollywood without makeup, I think that's totally wrong, too.
01:20:40.000What I loved about Whitney, I don't know if you guys know a story.
01:20:43.000So she like she was being blackmailed on Instagram because she was like doing a some kind of dress rehearsal and like doing a wardrobe change or whatever.
01:20:52.000And like on her phone, she had a picture like where like one of her boobs popped out.
01:20:56.000You guys know, but you know this story, but you can't tell if women are attractive.
01:22:04.000Last time that she ran, not when she ran against Donald Trump, when she was inserted after Joe Biden had to drop out, but when she ran, she dropped out before California because she was going to win zero delegates.
01:22:17.000And if you win zero delegates, your political in your home state, your political career is over.
01:22:35.000So they actually were trying to rig it in favor of her.
01:22:38.000It ended up helping Bernie Sanders of all people because that's the one state he won on Super Tuesday that mattered and kept him in the race a little longer.
01:23:22.000You know, I don't see her being able to convince even Democrats that she's the heir apparent.
01:23:29.000She must have an agenda, something she wants to say to the world, and she wants to take six weeks to do it.
01:23:35.000So she's going to raise a bunch of money, blow people's money, get her agenda spoken, and then defer to Gavin Newsome and become maybe his VP or endorse AOC and Gavin Newsome.
01:24:18.000Um, I don't know if they actually had the date, but like he was trying his butt off to get her on the show and her team was refusing.
01:24:27.000I think she's gonna have like it'll be interesting to see if he allows her to go back on if she doesn't spend the next, well, if she hasn't spent the past year doing everything she can to get ready and spend the next three years doing media, do it, do like doing practice media, doing media training stuff.
01:24:44.000Like if she hasn't done that, she has no chance.
01:24:46.000If AOC runs, which I don't know, I mean, look, congress people generally don't run.
01:24:52.000They don't really have a chance, but AOC kind of has her finger on the pulse of the Democrat Party.
01:24:55.000If AOC runs, AOC will smoke her because she's far more politically talented.
01:25:07.000It depends because we don't know how Ocasio-Cortez is going to do with black voters and the way the Democratic primary is structured, which is why I was able to predict Biden winning the primary a year before it happened and turning around in South Carolina.
01:25:20.000Is that you have Iowa, New Hampshire, then you have Nevada, and then it's all majority black states.
01:25:27.000So if you can't win older black voters, you can't get through it.
01:25:30.000And a lot of times they vote for the establishment candidate with name recognition.
01:25:35.000So like she might have a better chance than you're giving her credit for in the primary or at least earlier on.
01:25:40.000Who do you think Clyburn would prefer?
01:25:41.000Because Clyburn's both, he's the one who pushed Biden to put her on the ticket in the first place.
01:25:46.000Do you think Clyburn would go with AOC or Kamala?
01:26:28.000I genuinely think, though, if you're a Democrat and you're looking at your candidates, you should never just go get Kamala Harris's book 107 Days and realize that this is somebody you should never vote for for president because the whole thing is excuses.
01:26:41.000And it's like, if only I had more time.
01:26:43.000If only I would have loved to talk about this policy idea, but only I had more time.
01:26:47.000It's like, it's like, first of all, her biggest boost was in the beginning.
01:28:54.000You know, he went on Sean Ryan's podcast and said, oh, I'm a gun owner, B.S.
01:28:58.000But, like, he could run as a centrist and then all the policies, just like Biden, you know, like, I'm, I'm the middle-of-the-road kind of normal Democrat guy.
01:29:06.000Then he gets in, and next thing you know, there's dudes whipping fake boobs out on the White House lawn.
01:29:11.000I think that it's going to be Kamala, AOC, and Gavin on stage at some point debating.
01:29:16.000Kamala will probably inevitably drop out, and then AOC and Gavin will go at it, and then people will love seeing their camaraderie, and then AOC will bow out and become his VP.
01:29:27.000But AOC hasn't said she's running yet, right?
01:32:44.000I like when she finally did the interview with Tim Walz and they put her at a little baby desk, like made her look as weak as possible in the restaurant.
01:32:51.000Like real, real, real great stuff right there.
01:32:54.000Yeah, I mean, I'm excited that she's running again because we're going to get a ton of comedy out of it.
01:33:24.000I saw some years that it looks like that a Republican might actually be, or two Republicans might be on the ballot for California government.
01:34:26.000I think he sounded very communist at the top, but like he's not going to be able to do as much as he promised when he's going to be.
01:34:33.000No, but he's going to, he's going to, I mean, we were talking today, 17 people now have passed away just because of the 17 homeless have died in the last two weeks.
01:35:02.000I would like to get some super chats in on whether or not my checkpoint idea makes sense.
01:35:10.000No, I want to get the ones in that call you out for not being a straight when it came to that debate.
01:35:14.000More importantly, everybody, kindly smash the like button, share the show, and join us on Timcast.com to join the late show and our Discord or say whatever.
01:35:23.000Just tell them we are going to super chats and Rumble Rants.
01:36:50.000If you put a little, if you like, he took the gray out of his beard, get a little just for men in there, he would not look like he's if you pull up his harmony.
01:40:49.000Mendos871 says, I think men find Sydney more attractive than Sabrina because Sydney doesn't come across as a blanket, oh, blatant whore who will cheat on you in a heartbeat.
01:42:09.000You have to know your enemy in the way they think.
01:42:11.000If you think people are the opponent, you must understand their perception.
01:42:15.000Then you can manipulate it way easier.
01:42:17.000I don't think understanding it is different than caring about it.
01:42:20.000Like, I think it doesn't understand something and not care about it.
01:42:25.000What matters for us should be what it's true.
01:42:28.000And if you look at where ICE was before the surge and what the policies were before the surge, the Trump administration got the win and they only gave up 700 ICE agents, but there were 80, not 2,300 before the surge.
01:42:42.000If the left gets a PR win and they think that they got a capitulation from their side and that gets them to calm down, that's a good thing.
01:42:49.000So yeah, the perception is a good thing.
01:42:52.000This is like at the end of the 12-day war, like Israel declared victory, Iran declared victory, the United States declared victory.
01:43:51.000What's the compromise if the stated goal by Tom Holman day one was these sanctuary cities and the one that they made an example of was Minneapolis are going to turn over the people from the jails and then they got that exact concession.
01:44:11.000No, I need to see the results as in like fewer actual illegals in the United States, the prices of housing going down, apartments going down because there's more access to places on the market.
01:45:54.000Yeah, and that you're going to hear a lot of the sentiment from MAGA.
01:45:57.000Again, I understand what you're saying from, you know, the PR standpoint, from the political standpoint.
01:46:02.000But again, if you could show people getting removed out of the country, like that.
01:46:07.000And we talked about this when Artiz was on.
01:46:09.000He was like, hey, we should be showing more content of ICE being in cities where they are being supported by the local community, like in Texas, like a places like that.
01:46:18.000The majority of the content we're seeing is like people like the footage from Renee and the footage from people getting.
01:46:23.000That's going to be counterproductive because if you put this stuff on TV and the left is watching this stuff, all they're going to do is they're going to take that stuff and say, look, they're doing blah, blah, blah.
01:46:52.000The important thing is getting them out.
01:46:55.000And honestly, if you could get them out without anyone knowing, if you can get illegal, like if you can get 10 million illegals out with no one knowing except for seeing the results, that's way better because then the left can't capitalize on it.
01:47:50.000The PR didn't matter that it was the right thing or policy.
01:47:54.000They had a bloodlust and they went out and used every single resource that we had to go arrest a ton of people and make it as public as possible.
01:48:03.000But the point of that was to scare the people on the right.
01:48:54.000And yeah, you will be able to get more done without fighting the left-wing agitators every step of the way, being able to pick these people up from jail.
01:49:02.000And even if you miss them in jail, when they get flagged upon arrest, that's a huge deal because you get verification of their new address.
01:49:09.000Like there's a bunch of information that they'll be getting that helps them, which again is what Tom Holman wanted in the first place.
01:49:15.000So if he's happy with the deal and he's like the big deporter guy, then I think we should be fine with it.
01:49:20.000Yeah, the more quietly you can do it, the better.
01:49:22.000The more you can do it without people really noticing and without messing up their lives and changing their day-to-day life.
01:50:46.000You need to be able to fund this agency.
01:50:49.000If you get killed in the midterms over the ICE issue, then that because of that PR, then they're going to cut the funding for them and they're going to restrict them.
01:51:03.000The 700 agents were only there to protect the agents arresting illegals.
01:51:07.000Now with mutual assistance with local PD, they are no longer needed.
01:51:10.000Oh no, how dare we try and mimic Red State's deportations?
01:51:14.000The thing is, like, and I think you're going to hear this more and more, like people don't trust the Minnesota police, the Minneapolis police.
01:51:23.000I mean, the reason why they're in the situation that they are in is because, and Tim makes this point all the time, the police are also a part of the political ideology.
01:52:35.000Yeah, I mean, he's done terrible things for, he did terrible things for San Francisco, and then somehow he got elected to be governor, and he's done terrible things for California.
01:53:57.000You guys were against my checkpoint earlier, but now we're saying we should force homeless people into homeless.
01:54:02.000Yeah, there's a difference between the government setting up checkpoints to just blanket go after everyone in violation of the Fourth Amendment and you stating the reality, which is this is not California.
01:54:12.000You don't have a right to sleep on the street.
01:54:14.000You don't have a right to conquer our parks.
01:57:20.000But like, there's part of it that's so dark and just would say racist and sexist shit growing up to make people laugh and to disarm them and then have power in the community, like in the hierarchy of the groups of friends.
01:57:31.000And then I got went on TV and I'm like, I can't do that anymore.
01:57:37.000Times have sort of changed in the last three or four years, but for like 15 years or 20 years, I was like, I got to like remediate and be normal and not punch down and make people laugh without making someone else the butt of a joke.
01:57:53.000Everyone gets to be the butt of a joke.
01:57:55.000You are not so special of a group, not trans people, not blacks, that you are not so special and protected that you never get to be made fun of.
02:00:34.000Oh, you can find me on youtube.com/slash actualjustice warrior.
02:00:38.000And I'm currently working on a true crime docuseries on the world's first Amish serial killer.
02:00:42.000The reason it took so long for them to catch them is their forensics are like 300 years behind.

02:01:56.000And fast drivers, not women and Asians.
02:01:59.000Anyway, thank you for watching the show.
02:06:46.000There's a whole host of people that are nothing ever happens.
02:06:50.000If you have a show called ICE and you have a bad boy song in the beginning, and every show they're like exiting out 10,000 fucking immigrants, they're going to be like, holy shit, something's happening.
02:07:23.000Once you send a couple business owners that hire illegal immigrants back to like Honduras or like Somali or whatever, people will be like, holy shit.
02:07:33.000A, people will think, okay, something's happening.
02:07:35.000B, the other people that are doing it are going to be like, I'm not doing that shit anymore because I don't want to go live in Somalia.
02:08:13.000I think what the left was doing, yes, we make fun of the checkpoints and stuff, but I guarantee you people on their side were cheering for it.
02:08:19.000They're like, oh my God, they're actually doing something.
02:11:43.000In the 20s, and they installed Reza Pahlavi, and they got their British oil company set up, basically extracting Iranian oil for 100 years.
02:14:27.000Oh, so in the course of your investigative work, have you ever run onto a story where once you started to really dig into it, it triggered pressure from whoever, from family, close friends, donors, even strangers to back off, you know, for your personal safety to the point where you ever wondered, maybe should I?
02:14:56.000I think the weirdest thing that I've ever looked into were Innocence Project cases where an attorney that used to represent the client that was now being rep by the Innocence Project told me that they considered me like their enemy number one because I was like one of the few people that go after the Innocence Project.
02:15:14.000But like my family, they don't care about politics.
02:15:17.000So they wouldn't even know if I was under threat because they don't watch my videos.
02:16:43.000The real Sean, the actual justice warrior there.
02:16:48.000In South Carolina, there's a law, point present.
02:16:52.000And the wording of the law is that it is unlawful for a person to point or present a firearm loaded or unloaded at another person.
02:17:01.000In 2021, this law was used against me when I was acting in self-defense.
02:17:07.000I drew my weapon and the person aggressing upon me raised empty hands and I couldn't take the shot.
02:17:12.000And the officer that arrested me told me if I had just shot, I'd be going back to work.
02:17:18.000So my question is for Sean, is there any way we could word that law better so that people who are put in that fight or flight situation don't have to go through the process as punishment like I did.
02:17:31.000Do you mind it saying if you beat the case or not?
02:17:40.000I think maybe getting rid of that statute, because it should be considered, if you're doing it unlawfully, where you're pointing a firearm at somebody when you're not supposed to, that's considered assault, like assault with a deadly weapon, like whether you fire it or not, because battery is the contact.
02:17:56.000Usually in most states, assault is like, you know, the imminent threat that you're about to aggress on somebody.
02:18:02.000So maybe that point and present law like doesn't need to be rewritten.
02:18:06.000It needs to be like abolished because you should be able to pull out a weapon in a potential deadly force situation if you get a surrender or a retreat, not have to shoot the person.
02:18:27.000Like, I carry a gun every day, and I've gone to a lot of firearms classes and stuff.
02:18:33.000If you draw your weapon, you should be shooting, right?
02:18:37.000So, you should not take your weapon out to intimidate someone.
02:18:41.000I understand that there's a lot of people who are like, you know, I drew the weapon and the guy, you know, backed away and stuff.
02:18:48.000And I get it, but to protect yourself, which is the whole point of the gun, to protect yourself from the aggressor and from the ramifications, if you take your gun out, you discharge your gun and you stop the threat.
02:19:03.000Because if the cops come up, if the guy lives, the cops come up and you just say, well, you don't say anything to the cops, actually.
02:19:11.000But when you go to court, you say, look, I was in fear for my life.
02:19:15.000It didn't matter if he had anything, right?
02:19:18.000The reasonable stat, or the statute is, I was in a reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm.
02:19:25.000And so if you take your gun out, stop the threat.
02:19:29.000But it does have to be reasonable because if an unarmed guy is four feet away from you, it's not really.
02:19:38.000If you draw your weapon and the guy has a knife in his hand and they drop the knife and put their hands up, I don't think you pull the trigger in that situation.
02:20:05.000Like I said, all the classes that I've gone to, I know what you're referencing.
02:20:10.000Like, is there, can you meet in the middle and just shoot away from no, no, no, because you're responsible for every bullet that comes out of that gun.
02:20:33.000You don't have a right to camp on the street.
02:20:36.000But also, if somebody is doing an unambiguous sign of surrender and you shoot that person thinking, like, I don't want to go and get in trouble for this point, whatever the law you're talking about is, like, there's going to be a surveillance camera.
02:20:48.000Like, it's going to be captured that you shot this man like this after the night.
02:23:27.000So Nick Fritis had a piece on Gig Red over Rhinos.
02:23:32.000He had a scoring system talking about their voting records for Republicans and pressuring the rhinos by having primary them or running candidates against them because they're like in an R plus five to plus 20 district and they're not voting the way we really need them to vote as Republicans.
02:23:59.000And do you think there's a way we could do this and maybe get Tim Cast and friends and other creators to persuade voters to do this going into these midterms?
02:24:16.000Because a lot of the policies that Trump's not getting it acted is because Congress is not supporting him.
02:26:01.000What you need to do is you need to talk to your local GOP, right?
02:26:04.000If you're looking to get people out of office, talk to the political establishment that's there.
02:26:10.000What you need to do is go into a church in the middle of service and scream at parishioners and demand to know what they're doing to protect their Somali brethren.
02:26:19.000And actually, don't do that one, actually.
02:26:22.000But seriously, like if you're if you're looking to get active in politics and you want to get rid of people that are bad politicians, go to the GOP in your area.
02:26:50.000But he's talking about local politics.
02:26:52.000He's not talking about nationwide politics.
02:26:53.000So like, how do you, like, if you can, there's nothing wrong with a YouTube channel, right?
02:26:57.000There's nothing wrong with talking about this stuff on a YouTube page.
02:27:00.000You still need to, yeah, or Rumble on the internet, but you still need to do actual grassroots, hard politics work if you're looking to get people out.
02:27:11.000I mean, fine, start a YouTube channel and talk about a Rumble channel and talk about the things you're doing, but you still need to do the on-ground work stuff.
02:27:18.000If it were sufficient to just do stuff on the internet, you wouldn't see so many people still going out and canvassing.
02:27:25.000So many people still going out and knocking on doors.
02:27:27.000So many people still going out and working to get people elected.
02:27:31.000That's the real hard part about politics.
02:27:33.000And that's part of why the Republicans don't do as well as the Democrats, because the Republicans don't do the same kind of work Democrats do.
02:27:40.000And you got to target only, you have to do it small, like five congresspeople maximum for like a national campaign where you're going to go after them in their districts because people are like, oh, there's 100 rhinos.
02:28:54.000It's really like identify a candidate that's already there, already in the community, and then maybe try to get them on other interviews or get them media attention.
02:29:03.000Because again, you're not going to flip the whole Congress or primary them.
02:29:15.000So like having one guy, if you saw one rhino and you were able somehow through influence to get that guy not elected in someone else, that could set just like resounding consequences of change.
02:29:25.000So focus on the immediate, focus on one thing at a time and really focus and go, go, go.
02:29:31.000Like if there's a guy you want out, relentless.
02:29:38.000You know, sometimes you make it, I've known people that made a YouTube channel and they made 100 videos and they were getting like seven views per video.
02:29:44.000So it's really about your personal community of friends that you can share that with and sharing the content is just as important as making it.
02:31:01.000Real question there for Sean Fitzgerald.
02:31:05.000So I'm super happy to see that you finally got a chance to speak with your longtime crush, Anna.
02:31:11.000And I'm wondering how you feel about that, how that went.
02:31:19.000And also, if I'm kind of curious if she gave you any, you don't have to say what she told you, but if she gave you any kinds of info about Tank's nephew.
02:33:00.000Being attacked while walking your dog in your own neighborhood is probably she went from like, man, I want to really protect homeless people to getting assaulted.
02:33:09.000And like, get those homeless people out of here.
02:33:11.000I'm telling you, I guarantee you that's what it was.
02:33:14.000I'm actually more talking, not even the crime issue with the homeless people.
02:33:16.000I'm more talking about like the a lot of lefties are like, oh, you just have to provide them endless like housing and all these government programs.
02:33:24.000Like her article was about how these programs are basically like rife with fraud.
02:33:28.000And it was Project Home Key specifically in California.
02:34:52.000This is like a basic tenet of broken windows policing.
02:34:54.000Like it gives the impression that nobody's watching the area and it invites other criminality.
02:34:59.000Also, you're leaving mentally unstable people in a lot of cases on the streets.
02:35:03.000So when they snap and attack someone and everybody's like, hey, if this person has a bunch of crimes that they committed or they were like adjudicated or diagnosed mentally ill, like why are they out on the streets?
02:35:13.000It's because you're like, oh, leave them.
02:36:15.000I used to work with homeless people down in LA.
02:36:16.000I would go to the, on 6th Street, I'd go to the park and give them water.
02:36:20.000And I was like, you know, every once in a while I see a YouTube video of like a homeless person that just, now they're famous, now they can make money.
02:36:26.000I wanted to bring the way that they're homeless.
02:38:13.000Because they're making the choice of their own life.
02:38:15.000Someone isn't making a choice for them.
02:38:17.000You guys are arguing for is somebody saying, like, the 14-year-old getting beat to you know, whatever.
02:38:22.000The 14-year-old's now, 17-year-old and gets the shit kicked out of them, and then they get thrown on the street, and they're so they can't like it.
02:38:28.000The analogy would be if the 17-year-old wanted to live on the street and freeze to death in the cold, then you'll say, What if a 10-year-old wants to live on the street and freeze to death in the cold?
02:38:37.000I think you know, that first of all, we're the parents.
02:41:37.000It's kind of like if I opened my bag and I had a candy bar that someone else stole and put in my bag and I don't know who stole it or where it came from, I wouldn't return the candy bar.
02:42:44.000I was just talking to Sean and this crazy argument we had, and I forgot to give you a text so you know that we were finished with the show.
