Transcript

00:00:04.000 The Donald Trump criminal trial continues today, and surprising no one, several jurors who are found to be fairly anti-Trump are being allowed on this case.
00:00:15.000 I am a firm believer that there is not a single juror who will say not guilty to Donald Trump.
00:00:21.000 Why?
00:00:21.000 Because even if they think he is, they live in New York and they don't want to be the person who gets identified as being the person who let Trump go.
00:00:29.000 So this should get interesting.
00:00:30.000 There's already been a contempt motion filed against Trump.
00:00:33.000 They want him fined.
00:00:34.000 The judge is threatening to jail Trump for 30 days.
00:00:38.000 So suffice to say it's getting spicy.
00:00:40.000 And then we have the Supreme Court hearings, where it looks like SCOTUS may be siding with the January 6th defendants over the obstruction charge.
00:00:49.000 Ragging on this government lawyer who basically said that if you pull a fire alarm to stop a vote, that's not obstruction.
00:00:59.000 But if you are escorted through the building by cops, well, certainly that is.
00:01:03.000 Now, of course, the solicitor general didn't say it exactly like that, but that's basically the gist of it.
00:01:08.000 Supreme Court justice asked, what about pulling a fire alarm or coming into the court and shutting down the Supreme Court proceedings?
00:01:13.000 And she said, well, we can't really prove they knew they were doing anything wrong if they did.
00:01:17.000 So we're not going to prosecute them.
00:01:19.000 This will be interesting.
00:01:20.000 We'll talk about that.
00:01:21.000 Plus, in New York, over 1,000 African migrants, mostly, I believe, criminal aliens, stormed City Hall trying to get into this hearing.
00:01:31.000 And according to the New York Post, it was because they were promised by activists green cards and work permits.
00:01:37.000 So, of course, many people are complaining.
00:01:39.000 There's one story from a woman who says her kids couldn't play their soccer game because migrants had taken over the soccer field and the referee decided, we can't do this, and left.
00:01:48.000 So we'll talk about all that.
00:01:49.000 Before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
00:01:53.000 Why?
00:01:54.000 It's the best coffee you'll ever have.
00:01:55.000 Appalachian Nights, of course, is everybody's favorite, and it looks like Re-Rise with Alberto Jr.
00:01:59.000 is officially sold out.
00:02:00.000 The promo is coming to a close.
00:02:02.000 However, I do think there is a small batch that has not yet been produced and will be available. And
00:02:08.000 of course, we're gonna have the promo code at the end for re-rise when that does come out.
00:02:12.000 Of course, we've got Rise with Roberto Jr. And I really do recommend to stand your grounds if you're
00:02:16.000 a fan of Appalachian Nights.
00:02:17.000 We've got coffee pods and all the good stuff. Now you should buy Casper Coffee because the money we
00:02:21.000 get from Casper, we're using to build physical locations.
00:02:24.000 Our first location, of course, in Martinsburg, West Virginia, should be up in a couple of
00:02:28.000 months. It is currently being built.
00:02:30.000 And then after that, hopefully we have locations all over the country.
00:02:33.000 And that's what we're doing when you buy a Casper Coffee.
00:02:36.000 But also, don't forget!

00:04:16.000 I'm really happy to be a part of that team.
00:04:18.000 And I'm so glad that Chris Carr, executive editor, is here.
00:04:21.000 Chris Carr, executive editor at scnr.com, filling in for the mystical Ian.
00:04:21.000 Happy to be back.
00:04:26.000 Yeah, indeed.
00:04:28.000 Thanks, guys.
00:04:29.000 Hope you guys are enjoying the show.
00:04:30.000 Let's get to it.
00:04:31.000 Here's the first story from the Daily Mail.
00:04:34.000 Judge tears into Trump for intimidating jury after warning he could be jailed for disruptive behavior as juror is dismissed for posting lock him up on social media.
00:04:45.000 Now, what I love about this is there are actually worse things than that.
00:04:49.000 There are people who actually joined what is like a pro Biden parade or something like that.
00:04:53.000 I've got some some tweets to pull up.
00:04:55.000 End Wokenist tweets.
00:04:56.000 Judge Mershon rules that a juror who joined a Biden election victory parade is not disqualified off the jury against Trump.
00:05:03.000 Because the juror claims she thought it was a celebration of essential workers.
00:05:03.000 The reason?
00:05:07.000 But there's more.
00:05:08.000 Jesse Franklin Murdoch says kangaroo court.
00:05:11.000 No orthodox Jews allowed, but Trump derangement syndrome is no problem.
00:05:15.000 In this post from Erica Orton, Judge Juan Merchant denied another attempt by the Trump lawyer Todd Blanche to dismiss a prospective juror over social media posts, one of which said, Republicans projected to pick up 70 seats in prison.
00:05:28.000 Blanche noted that both sides had, quote, a fair bit of colloquy with the prospective juror.
00:05:36.000 She said such things like, she lost sleep last night over whether she could be fair or impartial.
00:05:42.000 The judge denied an effort by Trump's lawyers to remove a prospective juror who shared social media posts that showed celebrations on the Upper West Side after Trump lost the 2020 election.
00:05:50.000 The judge said he believed the prospective juror, when she answered, she could be impartial if she was selected for the panel.
00:05:56.000 So here we go!
00:05:57.000 Donald Trump is facing already contempt charges for alleged violations of the gag order.
00:06:02.000 He's been threatened with 30 days in jail, and we have numerous instances where the jurors have a clear bias against Donald Trump.
00:06:09.000 I do not see a scenario where a single juror will say not guilty.
00:06:14.000 Because even if they think Trump is not guilty, not a single juror wants to be the person who has to be surrounded by New York Trump deranged liberals and show themselves to be a Trump supporter.
00:06:27.000 If this jury says Trump is not guilty, their lives in New York are over.
00:06:33.000 I imagine they'll get attacked in the streets, they'll be kicked out of every club, they'll never be able to eat again.
00:06:37.000 Do you see how many jurors they went through?
00:06:38.000 They went through like a hundred jurors, and God knows how many times half of them burned through.
00:06:42.000 I don't know if you follow that one guy, but he's tweeting out about every juror that comes through.
00:06:46.000 I mean, the craziest of things, too, with the people and how they've known about Trump and how they followed him forever.
00:06:52.000 I don't see how he gets a fair shake.
00:06:54.000 And I imagine if it comes down to all of the jurors and they can't get enough, the judge is going to say, I don't care.
00:07:02.000 Clearly.
00:07:03.000 I mean, the fact that the judge has denied Trump the right to go to the Supreme Court.
00:07:07.000 Now, this is what everyone was talking about, that Trump asked to go to Barron's graduation, and the judge said, well, we'll see how things are moving along, but I'll wait to see where we're at in the case before I decide if you can do it.
00:07:20.000 Trump got pissed and was like, I can't even go to my son's graduation!
00:07:23.000 It's an outrage!
00:07:24.000 But that was the judge saying, we'll see.
00:07:27.000 The judge literally said, you may not go to the Supreme Court oral arguments for presidential immunity.
00:07:32.000 He said, yeah, I get it.
00:07:33.000 That's important.
00:07:34.000 But so is the New York Supreme Court.
00:07:37.000 I think as a former president, Donald Trump has a duty to this country to be at the Supreme Court during the oral arguments for presidential immunity.
00:07:48.000 It is of utmost importance.
00:07:51.000 And I'm of two minds on this one.
00:07:54.000 I believe that presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for actions they took during the course of their official duties, which certainly would fall under what Trump was doing, especially considering he was impeached over what happened on January 6th, but he was acquitted ultimately.
00:08:10.000 So there is an element of double jeopardy, I suppose.
00:08:13.000 But, you know, I'm not going to cry too much if they rule that presidents don't have immunity.
00:08:18.000 There's still no guarantee that Trump is actually convicted on any of these things.
00:08:21.000 He was already acquitted once.
00:08:22.000 We'll see.
00:08:23.000 They'll probably load up a liberal jury in D.C.
00:08:25.000 and then we'll convict him.
00:08:27.000 But at the very least, I can say it opens the door to Barack Obama being criminally charged for the extrajudicial assassinations of Anwar al-Awlaki and his son, Abdurahman al-Awlaki.
00:08:37.000 Not that I really believe anyone would ever prosecute Barack Obama, but hey, please, fine.
00:08:41.000 We'll open the door.
00:08:41.000 You want to open the door?
00:08:42.000 Well, he didn't offend the great bureaucratic state of New York, right?
00:08:45.000 Like, that's what this is to me, New York bureaucratic arrogance, saying, You can't go to the Supreme Court.
00:08:51.000 You have to stay here.
00:08:52.000 We are the center of the universe.
00:08:54.000 And in fact, we want you to stay here so that we can make the media circus as bad as possible for you.
00:08:58.000 There's no way Trump could get an impartial trial in New York City.
00:09:02.000 There's no way.
00:09:03.000 And yet here we are going through this waste of taxpayer dollars saying, hey, 100 jurors, what do you guys think?
00:09:09.000 Have you guys heard of this guy, Donald Trump?
00:09:11.000 You know that building you bought ice cream at with his name on it?
00:09:13.000 Have you heard about the ice skating rink?
00:09:15.000 I mean, there are a lot of people in New York who have fond memories of Trump who You know, would have been sympathetic to him, who maybe have turned against him since he got more involved in politics, right?
00:09:25.000 But either way, it seems impossible to think that, you know, there was one juror that got dismissed who was like, I would love to serve on the jury for the greatest president ever, but my job makes it impossible, right?
00:09:37.000 So there are people who are like, no, I want to be on Trump's jury.
00:09:41.000 Yeah, someone said that.
00:09:41.000 Someone said that?
00:09:43.000 I got this out of an NBC News report.
00:09:45.000 The thing is, This guy is not going to be there.
00:09:48.000 He has to commit to his job.
00:09:50.000 Or there was like a surgeon who got dismissed or there was a high school teacher who was like, no, I could not be impartial.
00:09:55.000 Like, some of them are self-selecting out.
00:09:57.000 But what concerns me is the fact that this judge is like, Trump, you have to stay here.
00:10:02.000 We're the most important thing in the world.
00:10:04.000 And that there are going to be jurors who are like, yes, I could be impartial, knowing full well that they have already decided that he's guilty.
00:10:10.000 There was this one, uh, case, I can't remember what it was, it might have been Kyle Rittenhouse, I'm not sure, where, uh, I think it was Rittenhouse, one of the jurors said, I do think I could be impartial for this case, but as a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment, I don't think it would be right, so, and they're like, okay, you're excused, and every conservative on Twitter is just like, this is the problem.
00:10:31.000 The honor and dignity of the right.
00:10:34.000 I believe in the Constitution, therefore I can't do this.
00:10:36.000 It would be unfair.
00:10:37.000 What would fair be?
00:10:39.000 Someone who doesn't like the Second Amendment being on these cases?
00:10:42.000 So now you have, I'm surprised to hear that, I didn't know that, a juror who should say, I can be impartial.
00:10:48.000 You've got jurors who are like, I went and celebrated Biden's victory, but I'll be impartial and say, okay.
00:10:53.000 And then a guy's like, he's the greatest president ever, but you know, I'll leave.
00:10:56.000 But I think, to your point, all of them know it's a risk to be the juror that was leaning pro-Trump, right?
00:11:02.000 And in this case, the guy said, I have a conflict with my job.
00:11:05.000 So he probably felt more comfortable saying, I wish I could be on this jury.
00:11:08.000 He knew he wasn't going to be able to go on the jury.
00:11:10.000 He knew he was going to get excused for employment reasons.
00:11:13.000 And so he felt like he needed to be like, I would like to be here for the greatest president.
00:11:17.000 It's interesting that only the people who know they're not going to be on might be open about that type of support.
00:11:23.000 Well, it sounded like this guy actually just needed to submit to his higher calling in this instance.
00:11:26.000 I mean, I don't know what his job situation is.
00:11:28.000 I mean, it must be pretty bad if he wants to be on that jury, but he's not going to be able to.
00:11:31.000 But I don't know.
00:11:32.000 I'd like to think that there's somebody that's going to be the last of the 12 angry men in a room that's going to be like, no, actually, we're going to do this right and give him an impartial verdict.
00:11:40.000 Yeah, it would be nice.
00:11:41.000 So is Trump in there all day?
00:11:43.000 I mean, that's what it looks like.
00:11:44.000 Yeah, that's pretty wild.
00:11:45.000 Every day except for what, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday?
00:11:49.000 That's basically jail in and of itself.
00:11:51.000 Yeah, that's part of the idea.
00:11:53.000 If I was Donald Trump, I'd be at the Supreme Court, no question.
00:11:58.000 I believe that's what, next Wednesday?
00:12:00.000 I'm not sure.
00:12:00.000 I think so.
00:12:01.000 And let them throw you in jail?
00:12:03.000 It's not Wednesday, would they?
00:12:06.000 They can try.
00:12:07.000 I mean, that's the headline, right?
00:12:10.000 Former President Donald Trump jailed for attending Supreme Court oral arguments on presidential immunity.
00:12:16.000 His case.
00:12:17.000 That is precedent this country needs.
00:12:23.000 Donald Trump needs to actually challenge the corruption.
00:12:26.000 If he does not, he is complicit to a certain degree.
00:12:31.000 This court case against Trump is fake.
00:12:34.000 Everybody knows it's fake.
00:12:35.000 And I mean that literally.
00:12:36.000 Anybody saying otherwise is lying to you.
00:12:37.000 The Krasensteins going all day and night, they're full of it.
00:12:40.000 They'll sophist their way out of a paper bag.
00:12:46.000 This is a misdemeanor business filing charge that for no legitimate reason the DA is up to a felony.
00:12:55.000 Clearly fake.
00:12:56.000 There's no underlying criminal action.
00:12:58.000 The FEC and the DOJ both said what Trump did here is not a crime.
00:13:01.000 So there's no charges.
00:13:03.000 The state just wants to lock up Trump and stop him from campaigning.
00:13:07.000 The only reason corrupt government can do this is because Trump agrees they can.
00:13:14.000 That's really it.
00:13:16.000 At a certain point, when a clown shows up to your doorstep with a clown warrant, you can't just comply with a group of clowns.
00:13:22.000 So what would you do?
00:13:23.000 Sit in Florida and then just say, okay, New York PD, you got to come and arrest me?
00:13:28.000 Well, we talked about this with Atlanta, and depending on the circumstances, yes, 100%.
00:13:33.000 I'd say, you send your guys to my state, because at the time with Atlanta, it created some interesting circumstances.
00:13:41.000 Rhonda Sanders running for president.
00:13:43.000 It would put Rhonda Sanders in the position of having to comply with a state request from Georgia to Florida to go and get Trump.
00:13:51.000 And if Ron DeSantis did, it'd be the end of his political career.
00:13:56.000 He'd have to say, no, I will not file this paperwork.
00:13:59.000 And then Trump could say, I've received no paperwork.
00:14:01.000 They can say whatever they want on TV, but if they don't, they don't come through a legal, the legal system, it's just meaningless words on TV.
00:14:07.000 As for New York, I suppose the issue is Trump owns a lot of his net worth is tied to New York.
00:14:12.000 So he's concerned about that.
00:14:13.000 If it were me, I would say, with all due respect, Your Honor, I will be attending the Supreme Court oral arguments, as this has tremendous consequences for this nation.
00:14:25.000 And I mean that in no disrespect to this state, to your proceedings, and I believe my lawyers can more than sufficiently be here to carry out their duties.
00:14:34.000 But I also have a duty to this country that cannot be ignored.
00:14:37.000 And then I'd go.
00:14:38.000 And then I'd call their bluff.
00:14:40.000 I gotta be honest, beyond that, I don't know.
00:14:44.000 I might be a little bit more brash than Trump.
00:14:48.000 I don't know what Trump's legal strategies are.
00:14:49.000 Perhaps behind the scenes he's thinking, look, I'm probably going to win in November.
00:14:53.000 This becomes nothing.
00:14:56.000 So let's just buy the time, take the press.
00:14:59.000 It's putting his name on TV every single day.
00:15:01.000 It makes him the number one subject.
00:15:04.000 It's press you can't buy.
00:15:05.000 That's probably what he's thinking.
00:15:08.000 However, principally, if it were me, I might just be like, come and get me, you know?
00:15:13.000 It does capitalize off the sense of distrust that a lot of Americans have in the judicial system right now, right?
00:15:18.000 Like, he's at jury selection, which means it's even more of a circus, and already a lot of Americans don't trust jury trials, right?
00:15:26.000 They don't feel like the federal government or whatever government's going after them is doing it with good intentions.
00:15:31.000 And the whole situation, especially with the Supreme Court, Exemplifies the sort of tangled weave of court cases that Trump is now engaged in, right?
00:15:40.000 He can't go to one case that he's involved in because another state has said, no, you have to be here.
00:15:45.000 Meanwhile, another part of New York is investigating him for something else and another part.
00:15:49.000 And over here in Atlanta, like this guy can't win.
00:15:52.000 And I think if he doesn't participate, as I understood it from my lawyer in New York, they can revoke the bond as it relates to the Georgia case.
00:16:01.000 It's just a mess.
00:16:02.000 Why?
00:16:02.000 Like, why would those two things be like?
00:16:03.000 And I think for the American voter in some ways just always hearing about it from the press in a way that makes, you know, the press is attacking Trump, I think it would make the average American citizen more sympathetic to that, to him.
00:16:16.000 Because it says this is a system that's trying to oppress you and a lot of Americans feel that that's what the government's purpose is right now.
00:16:21.000 They are trying, it's to oppress them.
00:16:24.000 I actually, I think Trump may have a civic duty to not attend the trial in New York and to just go home.
00:16:34.000 And the reason being is that this is a corrupt DA with fraudulent charges using the power of the state to go after a president which for clearly political reasons.
00:16:45.000 And I think Trump should give a press conference in Bedminster or probably better off Mar-a-Lago because Jersey would probably arrest him too.
00:16:54.000 But, uh, he should go to Florida and just say, there is no underlying crime.
00:16:59.000 Until Bragg produces the underlying crime that upgrades business filing misdemeanors to a felony, I will not take this seriously.
00:17:09.000 This is it.
00:17:11.000 The charge against Trump is that Michael Cohen was paid off Stormy Daniels and that Trump lied about the payments to Michael Cohen on his filing, calling it a legal expenses retainer, which is falsifying documents, a misdemeanor.
00:17:26.000 But it could be a felony if it was done in furtherance of another crime.
00:17:31.000 Bragg has not revealed any underlying crimes.
00:17:34.000 And the payments that Trump made according to the FEC and DOJ are not criminal actions.
00:17:40.000 That being the case, I think Trump actually has a civic duty to say until there is a legitimate underlying crime that Will justify the upgrade to a felony.
00:17:53.000 This is a circus and it's fake.
00:17:56.000 And I don't care to waste my time with a clown show.
00:17:59.000 The problem now that I see is that New York and Atlanta, and the federal government for that matter, I mean especially January 6th, they're creating fake charges against people.
00:18:10.000 I mean the obstruction charge now at the Supreme Court is another great example of this.
00:18:15.000 Charging the J6ers, particularly Jacob Chansley, the Q Shaman, with obstruction, despite the fact that what he did doesn't qualify, and this was even sussed out in court, in the Supreme Court hearing today, although they didn't get to it specifically, but literally, even the premise from the Solicitor General was that if you don't know what you're doing is wrong, it's not wrong.
00:18:38.000 It's not obstruction.
00:18:39.000 You have to know you are doing it.
00:18:40.000 Well, Chansley was escorted in by cops.
00:18:43.000 So, what we are seeing now is, in all of these cases, fake charges against people.
00:18:50.000 So long as Trump and the right comply with fake charges, it legitimizes them.
00:18:56.000 Antifa doesn't do this.
00:18:57.000 They don't show up.
00:18:58.000 They say, screw you, who are you?
00:19:01.000 The example I've given multiple times the past couple of weeks, Proud Boys and Antifa fight in New York.
00:19:05.000 Antifa gives a middle finger to the cops and leaves.
00:19:07.000 Proud Boys shake the cops' hands and the cops turn them around and arrest them and put them in prison.
00:19:11.000 The right keeps saying fraudulent charges are legitimate and then saying, I guess I'll go to jail now.
00:19:16.000 And then they do.
00:19:17.000 And the left just says, we don't think it's a real charge.
00:19:19.000 And they go, okay.
00:19:20.000 And then the left leaves.
00:19:21.000 You've got apolitical criminal gangs taking over city streets across the country.
00:19:26.000 Cops are like, I'm not gonna arrest them because they don't listen to us anyway.
00:19:29.000 Then the right says, don't worry if you arrest me, I'll comply with everything you say.
00:19:32.000 And they go, okay, you're under arrest.
00:19:33.000 They go, okay, thank you, officer.
00:19:34.000 I'll go to jail now.
00:19:35.000 I don't understand.
00:19:36.000 Even the former president, when everybody knows this is bunk, is like, well, I guess I'll just act like it's legitimate and make sure everyone in the world knows I am treating it seriously like it's a real charge.
00:19:48.000 I think that's one of the conflicts that maybe people get from their lawyers.
00:19:53.000 I've known a lot of people to have really serious legal issues, especially even in the state of New York, and the first thing they get told, even if there are no charges, is cooperate.
00:20:01.000 You know, look like you're complying or look like you're not holding up whatever they're doing so that way it doesn't look to a judge like you're the problem.
00:20:09.000 And I think that advice is often bad because complying, especially with a judicial system like they have in New York, which is heavily biased, just means that you're letting them get information from you or you're going along with their system just so that they can use it against you later.
00:20:27.000 A hundred, several hundred to a thousand plus far leftists rampaged through Washington, D.C.
00:20:33.000 I remember that.
00:20:34.000 I was there.
00:20:34.000 Setting fires.
00:20:35.000 That was crazy.
00:20:36.000 Smashing windows.
00:20:36.000 Yep.
00:20:37.000 Do you know what the outcome of that riot was?
00:20:40.000 Nothing happened to them, I bet.
00:20:40.000 Nothing.
00:20:41.000 Oh, nothing?
00:20:43.000 It's the opposite.
00:20:44.000 They got paid out millions of dollars.
00:20:46.000 Wow.
00:20:47.000 The federal government paid far leftists and black clad violent arsonists got paid out something I think to the tune of a million plus dollars for being wrongfully arrested or something.
00:20:59.000 I hope they do that for the January 6th people who get exonerated.
00:21:03.000 The point here is I see it all the time.
00:21:07.000 We were talking about it with Doug Mackey.
00:21:09.000 I talked about it with the Steven Crowder case when it comes to judges right now.
00:21:13.000 Every cop and every judge, and I mean this somewhat in a general sense, obviously not literally all of them, they're just thinking in the back of their mind, what do I have to do to be able to go home, sit down in my recliner and watch the game?
00:21:29.000 Conservatives comply every step of the way, so we're good there.
00:21:35.000 The left never complies, burns things to the ground and beats people and shoots them and kills them in some instances.
00:21:42.000 So, what does that tell the judges, the prosecutors, and the lawyers?
00:21:46.000 On January 20th, 2017, when hundreds of far leftists were kettled by cops and arrested, and I was in this group that got arrested.
00:21:54.000 I was there for like two hours before being released because I had a press pass, and I'm not an idiot.
00:21:59.000 Some other journalists were screaming in the face of cops spitting on them.
00:22:01.000 I was standing off to the side, waving my press pass, being like, officers, please.
00:22:05.000 So I ended up getting released without getting charged, but I was arrested.
00:22:08.000 I was told I was arrested several times.
00:22:10.000 These people, We're told to resist.
00:22:14.000 Not physically on the ground.
00:22:16.000 They were captured.
00:22:17.000 They said, go to jail, say nothing, tell them nothing, deny everything.
00:22:17.000 They were surrounded.
00:22:22.000 Then our lawyers will come in and we'll delegitimize the whole process.
00:22:26.000 The police had no way to actually charge any of the individuals because they were all wearing black hoodies and masks.
00:22:32.000 And so the police said, okay, conspiracy to riot.
00:22:37.000 You all showed up wearing the same thing to engage in this behavior.
00:22:41.000 And the lawyers argued, My client just so happened to be wearing these clothes.
00:22:44.000 You can't accuse him of a crime for wearing clothes.
00:22:47.000 Prove he communicated this conspiracy.
00:22:49.000 Now the reality is, it's a loose, passive conspiracy.
00:22:52.000 Right?
00:22:53.000 These people know the tactic of black block.
00:22:55.000 They don't need to tell each other to do it.
00:22:57.000 So a few of the people pleaded guilty.
00:23:00.000 Then eventually, the rest were all released, charges dropped, then they sued and they were paid out.
00:23:06.000 What does the right do?
00:23:08.000 Instantly.
00:23:08.000 Complies.
00:23:11.000 Goes to jail, and the machine beats the crap out of him.
00:23:13.000 I just feel like, if there is a legitimate case, certainly if you commit a crime, yeah.
00:23:18.000 You know, you go to court, you get your lawyer, you argue it.
00:23:23.000 Right now what we're looking at with Trump is, the DA waived a fake piece of paper.
00:23:28.000 I can't stress this enough.
00:23:31.000 Falsifying business records is not a felony.
00:23:33.000 He said, it is because there's another crime here.
00:23:35.000 And they said, what's the crime?
00:23:36.000 I'm not telling you.
00:23:37.000 Well then if you're not, then there's no, then this charge is fake.
00:23:37.000 Okay.
00:23:40.000 So you effectively have a guy dressed like a clown, waving a clown warrant.
00:23:44.000 And could you- And his Dunkin' Donuts.
00:23:46.000 Did you see him walking in this morning?
00:23:49.000 Looks like a mess.
00:23:50.000 This is what I see.
00:23:51.000 This is what I, this is the point that I've made several times.
00:23:52.000 I mean, if a clown showed up to your door, Knocked on the door and you opened and he says, I have a clown warrant for your arrest.
00:23:59.000 No.
00:23:59.000 Would you comply?
00:24:00.000 I don't know why Trump is.
00:24:01.000 This is not a real, a real, a real warrant.
00:24:04.000 The judge, his daughter is, uh, has Democrat clients fundraising off of this.
00:24:08.000 Everybody knows what's going on.
00:24:10.000 He's telling, he's telling Trump he can't go to Supreme court hearings.
00:24:12.000 This is clearly political.
00:24:14.000 And Trump is like, guess I'll just do what they tell me to do.
00:24:17.000 And then limps on in and then says, this is political to travesty.
00:24:20.000 I can't believe it's happening.
00:24:21.000 It's like, well, At a certain point, the system either breaks or you bend the knee.
00:24:27.000 My fear is, if this system is allowed to persist as it is, welcome to the communist revolution you've lost.
00:24:33.000 If Donald Trump, the former president, says these are false charges, I refuse to subject myself to a charge that has no underlying crime and has been falsely presented.
00:24:41.000 Take it up with the federal government and we'll file in federal court and challenge this.
00:24:45.000 He's complying with every step of the way.
00:24:45.000 He's not even doing that.
00:24:47.000 On all of these cases, by the way.
00:24:48.000 Every single one.
00:24:49.000 And they're all bogus.
00:24:51.000 Comply, comply, comply.
00:24:53.000 Every time he gets sued over a ridiculous 30-year claim of rape, and he says, guess I'll show up for this one, then they say you're guilty.
00:25:01.000 And he's like, what?
00:25:02.000 I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:25:06.000 What Donald Trump is saying to everyone in this country is the government can do it.
00:25:11.000 They will do it.
00:25:12.000 And you can do nothing about it.
00:25:14.000 I think that makes him relatable to voters.
00:25:16.000 Like I said, like people who live there.
00:25:17.000 I mean, trust in the government is not high.
00:25:19.000 And so if it can happen to Donald Trump, what keeps it from happening to you?
00:25:23.000 Right.
00:25:23.000 If they can do this to him, what would they do to you?
00:25:25.000 I can't say whether or not he should resist and not go, but I will say that I think it demonstrates a really effective image to voters that are saying, even Donald Trump, who was president, a billionaire, this well-known guy, is having to do these things.
00:25:39.000 I would not be able to even afford the defense that he can.
00:25:42.000 So the concern I have is maybe Trump's playing the victim angle of the government is out to get me.
00:25:50.000 Look how ridiculous this is.
00:25:52.000 I am trying my best to comply and be reasonable.
00:25:55.000 Vote for me.
00:25:56.000 That's why.
00:25:56.000 Maybe that's the right play.
00:25:58.000 My concern, however, is that when I meet your run-of-the-mill normie NPC out in the street, they go, yeah, but I mean Trump's, like he did, he was fraud with his business and now he's in criminal court for it.
00:26:12.000 And you're like, do you know what the trial's about?
00:26:13.000 No, I don't know.
00:26:14.000 I just heard that he committed like fraud and stuff.
00:26:16.000 But didn't they do that with the Russia collusion thing?
00:26:18.000 They did it with all the different impeachments.
00:26:20.000 I mean, at some point this guy is just the power of positive thinking, right?
00:26:23.000 The eternal optimist.
00:26:25.000 And he just thinks that he is invincible.
00:26:27.000 I mean, in any ways, he's shown that he can be.
00:26:30.000 So at what point is it just he's like, oh, you know what?
00:26:33.000 I've escaped everything else.
00:26:34.000 I'm going to go out there.
00:26:35.000 I'm going to be positive.
00:26:37.000 And God's going to help me.
00:26:39.000 Which is also kind of the boomer mentality.
00:26:41.000 I hadn't really thought about it until you guys started talking about it this way.
00:26:44.000 That sort of willingness to go along with whatever is thrown at you from the government or the system, belief in the court system.
00:26:49.000 If you're being prosecuted, you have to show up.
00:26:51.000 I mean, that's a pretty boomer way of viewing the world.
00:26:54.000 But also, on the other hand, maybe he does see the free publicity angle to this.
00:26:58.000 He really has that positive energy, and he thinks, who cares?
00:27:00.000 I'm gonna win.
00:27:01.000 I don't know if it's necessarily the boomer mentality, it's the conservative mentality.
00:27:05.000 The example being the Proud Boys in New York.
00:27:08.000 Antifa's agitating and attacking people.
00:27:10.000 The Proud Boys get into a fight with them.
00:27:12.000 And the Proud Boys go to the cops and say, the cops are our friends.
00:27:16.000 And those guys went to prison for four years.
00:27:18.000 And Antifa got no charges.
00:27:20.000 This is what we consistently... We keep seeing it over and over again.
00:27:24.000 I would argue that in... The case in New York with the Proud Boys is interesting.
00:27:29.000 They certainly said stupid things on livestream, like they were laughing about getting into the fight.
00:27:33.000 But you show up to your own private event to see a speech, it was Gavin McGinnis speaking, and far leftists surround the building screaming at people, harassing them, and then putting on masks, threatening people.
00:27:45.000 Yet you're the victim.
00:27:46.000 When you're trying to leave, and they're surrounding, and they're on every street corner yelling at you, and then the Proud Boys are like, okay, I guess let's go.
00:27:54.000 Like, if we're gonna leave and these guys are on every street corner, then it's either going through them or we're not leaving.
00:28:00.000 Then they thought the police would be on their side.
00:28:03.000 Then they went to prison.
00:28:04.000 I think by now they must have gotten out.
00:28:06.000 That was a while ago.
00:28:07.000 I wonder what the update is on that.
00:28:09.000 But we see that consistently where these people on the right think that going to court is going to get them a victory.
00:28:18.000 But I'll say it again.
00:28:20.000 In my experience, it's simply the judge goes, whoever is going to break first is my fastest ticket out of this case.
00:28:28.000 And so you could have a guy go into your house and steal your TV.
00:28:34.000 And then, when the cops come and he's got your TV, he says, he sold it to me.
00:28:37.000 That's a civil matter.
00:28:39.000 You guys gotta go to civil court.
00:28:40.000 He stole my TV?
00:28:40.000 And you're like, what?
00:28:41.000 Cops don't care.
00:28:42.000 Whatever gets me out of here, look at the squatters.
00:28:45.000 Then you go to court and you say, your honor, he stole the TV.
00:28:47.000 No, he didn't.
00:28:47.000 Then the judge is only thinking, which one of these guys breaks first?
00:28:52.000 Which one of them will say, I give up?
00:28:53.000 Because then we can all leave.
00:28:54.000 I got all these cases on the docket.
00:28:56.000 I don't have time to deal with this.
00:28:58.000 Which one?
00:28:59.000 You, sir, shut up.
00:29:00.000 You lost.
00:29:01.000 You agree?
00:29:02.000 Done.
00:29:02.000 We can go home now.
00:29:03.000 There was a couple times, so Chris is the executive editor, I talk to him pretty much every day, and there was a time, I don't know if you remember this, during the Fannie Willis hearings when they were trying to determine if she had, you know, incorrectly hired something, like her, you know, boyfriend and things like that, where we were watching a live stream in our separate offices and I was like messaging him like, this judge obviously wants to leave.
00:29:24.000 This judge looks miserable.
00:29:27.000 And it was just, you can tell, I mean, I think there is something to the fact that some judges are like, I don't want to be here.
00:29:33.000 But there was that one judge, I can't remember his name now, who, like, remember when they panned to him with the camera and he, like, smiled?
00:29:39.000 Oh, Ingron, yeah.
00:29:40.000 Ingron, like, he was on a sitcom.
00:29:42.000 Like, there are some judges that want this media to- He looked too happy to be there.
00:29:45.000 Right, and that's a problem, too.
00:29:46.000 Like, do you want the judge that wants to go home or do you want the judge that's like, this is gonna make me a national star?
00:29:52.000 I want the judge that understands the job and has some, you know, palpable level of discernment in their blood.
00:29:56.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:29:57.000 I want the judge from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial who screamed, don't get brazen with me at the prosecution!
00:30:02.000 One of my favorite lines of all time.
00:30:03.000 Like, there is something towards the judge's attitude.
00:30:07.000 I'll never forget that.
00:30:07.000 Did you see how Keith went to the judge's gym?
00:30:09.000 Oh yeah!
00:30:10.000 That was pretty funny.
00:30:12.000 Look, Fonny Wills is a really great example.
00:30:12.000 That was good.
00:30:14.000 There's clearly serious conflicts of interest and ethical issues at play and the judge goes, well, but you know, I mean, it's fine.
00:30:22.000 Just stop.
00:30:23.000 Just fix it and we'll just keep going.
00:30:25.000 It's like, can you really keep going if all this time there was an ethical problem?
00:30:29.000 And even so, he essentially admitted at the end of the day that she's poisoned how this trial looks to the average person in the public, you know, so.
00:30:37.000 But people think- They didn't do anything about it.
00:30:39.000 People think judges are these intelligent, smart arbiters of truth and justice, and I think the easiest way to explain it is, imagine you and your next-door neighbor were fighting over a lawnmower.
00:30:53.000 Go to the neighbor across the street and ask him to adjudicate between the two of you, and you'll be like, what?
00:30:57.000 My neighbor is just some guy.
00:30:58.000 Congratulations, you now know what judges are, they're just some guy.
00:31:01.000 Or lady.
00:31:02.000 They don't know any better than anybody else, sure, they have An understanding of the legal system, but justice is not an issue of the legal system.
00:31:11.000 Procedure is.
00:31:12.000 So Trump is clearly... Any sane judge would be like, what?
00:31:17.000 What's the underlying crime?
00:31:18.000 And when the prosecutor says, it's a secret, he'd say, get out of my courtroom!
00:31:21.000 What are you doing?
00:31:23.000 Now what do you think the appeals court does?
00:31:25.000 Uh, well it depends.
00:31:27.000 Depends on the judge.
00:31:29.000 If it's an Obama or Clinton appointed judge or something, they just say, nope, it's fine.
00:31:36.000 Trump's going to jail.
00:31:37.000 If he did skip a day in court and he did get arrested, do we know how long he'd have to be in jail?
00:31:41.000 Is it just like a nightly thing?
00:31:43.000 I don't know.
00:31:44.000 They're threatening him with 30 days.
00:31:45.000 30 days.
00:31:46.000 Also, how will all of this play into- I mean, Trump has said several times, I'm gonna win New York.
00:31:52.000 To be fair, they're saying it's keeping him from the campaign trail, but he's exactly in one of the states that he's sort of- in baseball, they like Point to, like, where they hit the ball or whatever.
00:32:01.000 Like, this is Trump being in New York, being like, and I'm here to campaign.
00:32:04.000 Like, if I'm going to make this a national stage, I'm going to win the state, which is interesting.
00:32:08.000 He's pulling a Babe Ruth from that courtroom by being in there.
00:32:08.000 That's crazy.
00:32:11.000 Like, they think they're really slapping him on the wrist with this, but they're actually just making it so much worse for themselves.
00:32:17.000 He goes out there every day.
00:32:17.000 Think about it.
00:32:18.000 He gets to command a news conference.
00:32:21.000 Remember, for the last many years, they've been keeping him off the air.
00:32:24.000 Now they have no choice but to cover him, right?
00:32:26.000 There was a whole thing where they were ignoring him for years, right, after he was president.
00:32:29.000 Now he's out there, he sets the pace for the day, and he's just running with it.
00:32:34.000 That may be the strategy.
00:32:35.000 They may have said, look, this is great, you're gonna be the top news for every major outlet the entire time they do this.
00:32:43.000 You can't buy that press.
00:32:43.000 Take it.
00:32:45.000 It's gonna save you heaps.
00:32:46.000 So they're talking about Biden's raising all this money.
00:32:48.000 He's got so much more than Trump.
00:32:49.000 Trump doesn't need it.
00:32:50.000 He's on TV nonstop, 24-7.
00:32:52.000 And that's probably the strategy.
00:32:53.000 Trump plays the victim.
00:32:55.000 That's why he comes out before and after he gets a statement.
00:32:57.000 And that's why they want to put him in jail for the gag order.
00:32:59.000 They're like, we can't let him speak.
00:33:02.000 He's winning from this.
00:33:04.000 Yeah.
00:33:04.000 So they're, I don't know what they're going to try and do.
00:33:06.000 They said they want a $3,000 fine for his posts on Truth Social or whatever.
00:33:11.000 That's crazy to me.
00:33:13.000 I think the whole idea that they're trying to keep him off the campaign trail with these, you know, basically legal handcuffs, it is, has always been crazy, but it really backfired when he, before, way before the RNC, way earlier than I expected, just became the presumptive nominee, right?
00:33:28.000 It was one thing when there were people competing with him, you know, maybe there would be a long shot campaign, probably not.
00:33:34.000 But now everyone knows November is a rematch between him and Biden.
00:33:39.000 And we're all sort of hanging out in the meantime, right?
00:33:42.000 It's the Trump show.
00:33:43.000 It literally is the Trump show again.
00:33:45.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:45.000 Crazy.
00:33:46.000 Let's jump to this next story from the AP.
00:33:48.000 Supreme Court questions obstruction charges brought against January 6 rioters and Trump.
00:33:54.000 This is great.
00:33:56.000 We have this clip, and Welkner's posted it.
00:33:58.000 Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch nukes Joe Biden's DOJ over January 6th sentences.
00:34:06.000 Gorsuch lists multiple cases of folks who obstructed a congressional proceeding without receiving a 20-year sentence.
00:34:11.000 Let's play the clip real quick.
00:34:12.000 It's about two minutes long.
00:34:13.000 If I might.
00:34:15.000 So what does that mean for the breadth of this statute?
00:34:21.000 Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify?
00:34:27.000 Would a heckler in today's audience qualify or at the State of the Union address?
00:34:33.000 Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?
00:34:42.000 There are multiple elements of the statute that I think might not be satisfied by those hypotheticals, and it relates to the point I was going to make to the Chief Justice about the breadth of this statute.
00:34:51.000 The kind of built-in limitations are the things that I think would potentially suggest that many of those things wouldn't be something the government could charge or prove as 1512c2 beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:35:01.000 vote would include the fact that the actus reus does require obstruction, which we understand
00:35:05.000 to be a meaningful interference.
00:35:07.000 So that means that if you have some minor disruption or delay or some minimal outburst,
00:35:12.000 we don't think it falls within the actus reus to begin with.
00:35:14.000 My outbursts require the court to reconvene after the proceeding has been brought back
00:35:23.000 into line, or the pulling of the fire alarm, the vote has to be rescheduled, or the protest
00:35:33.000 outside of a courthouse makes it inaccessible for a period of time.
00:35:38.000 Are those all federal felonies subject to 20 years in prison?
00:35:41.000 So, with some of them it would be necessary to show nexus.
00:35:44.000 So with respect to the protest outside the courthouse, we'd have to show that yes, they were aiming at a proceeding.
00:35:49.000 Yeah, they were trying to stop the proceeding.
00:35:51.000 Yes, and then we'd also have to be able to prove that they acted corruptly.
00:35:54.000 And this sets a stringent mens rea.
00:35:56.000 It's not even just the mere intent to obstruct.
00:35:58.000 We have to show that also.
00:35:59.000 But we have to show that they had corrupt intent in acting in that way.
00:36:03.000 We went around that tree yesterday.
00:36:05.000 I know, I heard the argument yesterday.
00:36:08.000 You know, I feel bad for this Elizabeth Preligar because she has to argue what is the stupidest position imaginable because it makes literally no sense.
00:36:18.000 But she has to, it's her job, so she's trying, bless her heart, she's trying.
00:36:22.000 But then we have to prove it was done corruptly.
00:36:25.000 They knew what they were doing is wrong.
00:36:27.000 She is... What's surprising to me is this would end leftist political organizing overnight.
00:36:34.000 And so I'm actually...
00:36:36.000 I'm of the mind, I'm like, oh, I actually want her to win this one.
00:36:40.000 If she wins this, that means anytime Antifa protests in the street, anytime they show up and bang on a door of the building, 20 years in prison.
00:36:50.000 Now, I really don't think that's good for this country.
00:36:52.000 We do need free speech.
00:36:53.000 But her argument is, they have to prove you knowingly that you were intending to obstruct and that there was wrongdoing in it.
00:37:03.000 Okay, well these leftist organizations have direct action meetings where they get together and they explain why you will be arrested because what you're doing is wrong.
00:37:13.000 In which case, her argument is meaningless.
00:37:16.000 I really do think based on this we're going to see the Supreme Court come out on the side of the J6ers.
00:37:21.000 And from what I've heard from this day in court, they're citing his social media posts, right?
00:37:23.000 to obstruction. Jacob Chansley is a good example. How could this man have known what he was doing
00:37:28.000 is wrong if the police escorted him through the building to which he then said, thank you,
00:37:33.000 officers, for allowing us in the building. And from what I've heard from this this day in court,
00:37:40.000 they're citing his social media posts, right? They're saying he said this, that and the other
00:37:44.000 that we should stop the vote, do whatever. But I feel like that all comes to an end when you
00:37:50.000 you get there and the police are like, come on in.
00:37:53.000 Then you're not disrupting anything, the police are letting you in.
00:37:56.000 No matter what your intention was coming to DC, the second you get there and police say, it's cool if you come in, then you're just going in because the police said it was okay.
00:38:04.000 Well, her standard is meaningless.
00:38:05.000 Right.
00:38:06.000 Corruptly.
00:38:07.000 And what does that mean?
00:38:07.000 She says it means wrongfully.
00:38:11.000 What does that mean?
00:38:12.000 When Gorsuch asks her, these protesters are intending to block the vote and shut it down, and she goes, yeah, but they may think they have a First Amendment right to do so.
00:38:20.000 So because they think they have a right to do it, it's legal?
00:38:23.000 That's a bold statement.
00:38:25.000 I guarantee you, each and every one of those J6ers were screaming First Amendment, right to a regis of grievances, believing they had a right to go into a public building and contest the vote.
00:38:37.000 So it's an interpretation of her.
00:38:39.000 The government is basically arguing to the government, mind you, which is hilarious, that they get to decide when they think you did something wrong.
00:38:46.000 That's it.
00:38:46.000 Have a nice day.
00:38:48.000 Yeah, the government's arguing to itself about something that happened to it.
00:38:52.000 It's very weird.
00:38:53.000 What's crazy is, you know, you guys grew up, I think you grew up in the 90s, 2000s, right?
00:38:56.000 It's like, we never saw any of this stuff.
00:38:58.000 Now it's like, lawfare is warfare.
00:39:00.000 You know, it's like, this is just the new version of war.
00:39:04.000 You know, we had war in Iraq, we had this kind of war.
00:39:06.000 Now it's like on the homeland, but instead of domestic terrorism, it's like this, this
00:39:10.000 lawfare.
00:39:11.000 I mean, it's, it's unbelievable.
00:39:12.000 I see, you know, people like this, uh, Prelegar, this Ngaran, this Mershan.
00:39:17.000 I mean, these are what I would describe as authoritarian, dangerous, malicious, and evil
00:39:22.000 individuals.
00:39:23.000 I wouldn't have said that, you know, when I was a teenager, I, I would say that those,
00:39:28.000 those, I believe it's fairly naive, but oh, there's no such thing as good and evil.
00:39:31.000 There's competing interests.
00:39:32.000 But actually, I don't think it was so naive.
00:39:34.000 I think it was just the state of politics in, in, in the two thousands and, uh, and
00:39:39.000 before Democrats and Republicans would hang out with each other.
00:39:44.000 Conservatives and liberals and family members would argue, but they'd get along and buy each other's presents.
00:39:50.000 Now it's, if you're a Trump supporter, you go to prison for the rest of your life.
00:39:54.000 If you're a far leftist who firebombed a building, we'll let you pass.
00:39:57.000 We're at the point now where the polarization is so extreme.
00:40:01.000 She's literally arguing to the government they have a right to imprison whoever they think did something wrong whether it's she's her argument is literally if we don't like you we lock you up have a nice day that's it the far left can shut down official proceedings Bowman can pull the warning the emergency signs off the door and pull the fire alarm and nothing And you could bumble into a building with no barricades, the doors were open by police, you could take a selfie with the cops who will smile, you could say, thank you, officer, for allowing me in.
00:40:31.000 I think you're right.
00:40:32.000 The right knows how to use power.
00:40:34.000 Excuse me, the left knows how to use power.
00:40:36.000 The right does not use power.
00:40:37.000 When we get power, what do we do?
00:40:40.000 And I'm saying, you know, as a conservative, if you get power, what do you do?
00:40:44.000 You just, like you're saying, you bow over and you take this.
00:40:47.000 The left, they get in there and what do they do?
00:40:48.000 They prosecute the hell out of everyone.
00:40:50.000 When are these AGs in any of these states going to stand up and prosecute as well?
00:40:56.000 I don't think it's going to stop until then.
00:40:58.000 It's the craziest thing to me.
00:40:58.000 I mean, I've met prosecutors and then ask them, when are you going to charge Biden?
00:41:02.000 And they're like, well, I don't know.
00:41:04.000 You got a local DA in New York charging the former president Trump.
00:41:04.000 I'm like, what do you mean?
00:41:08.000 And it's clearly bunk.
00:41:10.000 You're not going to try anything, literally nothing against Biden or anybody else.
00:41:15.000 Fair point in that Biden is deeply unpopular.
00:41:18.000 And so perhaps the strategy really is exactly what we're seeing.
00:41:22.000 Republicans say, no, no, no, no.
00:41:23.000 Let them do it.
00:41:23.000 Let them do it.
00:41:24.000 They're going to lose because of it.
00:41:26.000 You don't think Trump actually wants it though, do you?
00:41:28.000 All these charges against him and whatnot.
00:41:31.000 No, I think Trump would like to go to his son's graduation.
00:41:34.000 But I also think that sooner or later, my fear is there is no alternative scenario other than, no alternative circumstance, other than Republicans start acting, conservatives, not so much Republicans, start acting like Antifa, and that they no longer believe the government exists.
00:41:55.000 I think what we're seeing right now with, especially with Elizabeth Prelogar's argument that Oh, the J6ers knew what they were doing is wrong, so we can lock them up, but the far left is two firebombed buildings aren't being charged with this.
00:42:07.000 I mean...
00:42:08.000 That's insane.
00:42:08.000 We could never figure out their intent.
00:42:10.000 We have no idea what they were thinking.
00:42:11.000 I mean, it's a bit hyperbolic to be fair.
00:42:13.000 They did arrest some of those people.
00:42:15.000 But when it comes to, you know, pulling a fire alarm, for instance, Bowman should have been immediately charged.
00:42:22.000 No question.
00:42:23.000 He took the emergency sign off the door and then pulled the fire alarm and took off.
00:42:26.000 He didn't even try going through the doors.
00:42:27.000 His excuse made no sense.
00:42:29.000 They are outright saying they're a cabal.
00:42:33.000 They will go after the enemies of their mafia and that's it.
00:42:37.000 At a certain point, the right just says there is no government, there is just a mafia.
00:42:43.000 The left realized this a long time ago and now they are fighting with them physically
00:42:48.000 in various parts of the country and they have allies who are, I think you got two things
00:42:52.000 with the government, an unwillingness to go after the left because they can't win and
00:42:58.000 willingness to work with them to a certain degree to try and earn their favor.
00:43:02.000 It's like when in DC there was an anti-censorship protest by the right, Antifa showed up and attacked these guys.
00:43:08.000 That benefits the establishment in the deep state.
00:43:10.000 So they're like, okay, the enemy of my enemy.
00:43:13.000 We're gonna let the left keep wreaking havoc on Trump supporters and, you know, people who oppose our plans.
00:43:20.000 Sooner or later, people on the right are gonna say, Especially now with the charges against Trump that are baseless.
00:43:26.000 There is no underlying crime.
00:43:28.000 They're just going to say, this is not even a legal system.
00:43:31.000 It's quite literally just dudes with guns telling you to get on your knees.
00:43:35.000 At a certain point, I guess I can put it this way.
00:43:39.000 I make the joke about clowns, fine.
00:43:41.000 But let's just say a guy in a black hoodie and a mask shows up to your house with his buddies, and they say, get out of your house, get on your knees, we're tying you up, we're putting you in the van.
00:43:50.000 What does any security consultant tell you?
00:43:55.000 Never go to the second location.
00:43:58.000 That's what they say.
00:43:59.000 When you are faced with kidnap, the number one thing they tell you is you must do everything in your power to stop them from being able to take you to the second location.
00:44:06.000 Because that's when you die.
00:44:08.000 You have a chance to actually resist before that happens.
00:44:10.000 Now, don't take my word for it.
00:44:11.000 Talk to actual security consultants on that one.
00:44:14.000 But what I see now with this case against Trump, these are people who do not have any legitimate legal grounds to arrest, detain, or even try Donald Trump.
00:44:26.000 Even on CNN, there was a judge saying that the judge should be recused over what his daughter's been doing.
00:44:33.000 It was apparently Caitlin Collins talking to him.
00:44:35.000 Yeah, how is that not relevant?
00:44:37.000 It's all of its relevant and I think it's it's we're going to get to the point where people just You know, look, imagine a guy showed up to your house with a badge that said, the National Development Control Facility of Excellence and Prestige.
00:44:53.000 And he claimed he was the emperor of the region and you were his... The question is... Tell him to get the hell out of there.
00:45:00.000 You would, right.
00:45:00.000 And so, this is what I think we're going to end up seeing now with everything they're doing.
00:45:04.000 They've pushed so far, they're not operating within legal means anymore.
00:45:09.000 Even the NYPD, who would execute it, is sitting there and loving Trump.
00:45:13.000 It's pretty crazy the fact that they'd have to arrest him.
00:45:16.000 They would do it in two seconds.
00:45:17.000 And they would do it anyway, exactly.
00:45:18.000 Yeah.
00:45:19.000 I think it's pretty optimistic to imagine a point where conservatives basically have a de-legitimate view of the government.
00:45:25.000 I don't really see that happening.
00:45:27.000 I mean, isn't conserving something as important as government or something that conservatives perceive as being as important as government?
00:45:33.000 Liberals too, I guess.
00:45:34.000 Isn't that something that they can't ever really let go of completely?
00:45:37.000 No, it In a certain sense, if a judge signed off on a warrant, and they showed up to your house and said, look, I'm just doing my job, I got a warrant, conservatives would say, well, okay, officer, I respect what you're doing.
00:45:49.000 But when the cop shows up to your house and says, we don't have a warrant, we don't need a warrant, there's no charges against you, you're going to get on your knees right now, or else people are going to be like, okay, this is a shakedown.
00:45:58.000 Sooner or later it breaks.
00:46:00.000 We've seen it a little bit when conservatives are stomping on the thin blue line flags because up in the Pacific Northwest the cops were abusing the right and letting Antifa wreak havoc.
00:46:11.000 Sooner or later I think...
00:46:13.000 This lady has exposed the government massively, and I don't know if... Maybe we'll never see the ramifications of this?
00:46:22.000 Maybe the right will always just get on their knees and say, thank you, sir, may I have another?
00:46:29.000 Well, if Trump defied the judge's orders, and he did actually go to the SCOTUS hearing, or if he went to his son's graduation, that might be a moment where everybody would flip.
00:46:29.000 I don't know.
00:46:39.000 If they saw him do it, I think that they might.
00:46:41.000 And I think the issue is Trump may be thinking, cold block in New York jail.
00:46:49.000 It does not sound comfortable.
00:46:50.000 I think we did see a signal from the Supreme Court today that they are aware that the judicial system is essentially operating with a political bias.
00:46:58.000 I mean, so one of the articles that we have up on Sienna right now is on Idaho, the court ruling that Idaho can continue to enforce its restrictions on gender intervention, like medical, whatever else.
00:47:11.000 And the case was originally bought by families of two minors who said, well, if you ban their access to hormones, they'll suffer a mental, you know, mental stress, mental issue.
00:47:20.000 And a court ruled in their favor, went all the way up to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court, what the case came down to was this idea that the court had issued a universal injunction.
00:47:29.000 They had said, because these people brought a complaint against this part of the law, all of the law can't be enforced.
00:47:36.000 And the state said, well, if we let these people, we make an exception, these minors can get their hormones, can we enforce the ban on surgeries?
00:47:43.000 And the court, you know, the headlines will tell you this is about LGBTQ transgender policy for minors, but really it comes down to this idea that the court acknowledged that more and more lower courts are issuing these universal injunctions as a way to stop laws that people don't like.
00:48:01.000 And again, that's not really how this is supposed to work.
00:48:05.000 But there are activist groups who use, like you said, lawfare as warfare, and are able to say, well, if we sue and we get a sympathetic judge, they'll stop this in its tracks, and that reverses anything that's done by the legislature.
00:48:16.000 So we do know that the Supreme Court is starting to signal, like, one of the lines in it is, like, as these universal injunction cases become more and more common, we'll get more of these high-profile cases challenging the law.
00:48:27.000 Great point.
00:48:28.000 And I just think it's interesting that, you know, there are a lot of issues, but I don't know that conservatives will ever say, like, we're anti-government, right?
00:48:37.000 But they might start to say the way our government operates right now is broken and we cannot treat it like a functional, healthy government.
00:48:45.000 Yeah, that's a good point.
00:48:46.000 Oh, man.
00:48:47.000 Speaking of which... Functional, healthy government.
00:48:50.000 Yeah, let's jump into this story.
00:48:52.000 From the New York Post, over 1,000 African migrants swarm New York City's City Hall over supposedly falsely promised green cards.
00:49:01.000 I wonder if they have images here.
00:49:02.000 They do.
00:49:03.000 Ashley St.
00:49:03.000 Clair posted this on Twitter.
00:49:06.000 You can see it here.
00:49:08.000 1,300.
00:49:08.000 250 of them got into City Hall.
00:49:10.000 They were, according to this article, promised green cards and work permits.
00:49:16.000 I look at this and these are criminal aliens.
00:49:20.000 The reason we know that most of them, not all, but most of them are likely criminal aliens is that they were seeking green cards, so they're not here legally.
00:49:30.000 Perhaps some of them may be on tourist visas, I don't know.
00:49:34.000 I think the average American starts to look at this stuff and you have to realize, well, I shouldn't say it this way because I hope Donald Trump wins and I hope it's not the case, but I think many people may start to believe there is no government.
00:49:49.000 The border is wide open.
00:49:50.000 National Guard was attacked and they still allowed these people into the country.
00:49:55.000 The federal government is trying with all of their might to bring in criminal aliens in defiance of the law of state law and federal law.
00:50:04.000 What is the purpose of government?
00:50:06.000 Of, for, and by the people?
00:50:08.000 We have a constitution.
00:50:09.000 The federal government is supposed to serve the people.
00:50:12.000 It is supposed to be comprised of the people, to protect us, to help us maintain order.
00:50:19.000 But it's supposed to be fairly weak.
00:50:21.000 State government should be doing the same thing.
00:50:23.000 What do we have now?
00:50:24.000 The federal government is doing everything in its power to destroy the fabric of this country and the lives of its constituents.
00:50:30.000 The lives of the people who are supposedly making the government up.
00:50:34.000 They allowed, how many millions in the past few years?
00:50:38.000 What is it like?
00:50:38.000 They're saying 7, but it's probably higher.
00:50:41.000 Those are the ones that we know about, the encounters.
00:50:43.000 You hear 7 to 10, but it must be more.
00:50:46.000 7 to 10 million non-citizens.
00:50:47.000 Yeah, that's what I'm also hearing.
00:50:49.000 And the thing that I think too that's crazy about this is, Tim, is because, you know, my family founded a Fortune 500 home building company, and everybody always asks me, how are housing companies and how are all these houses so expensive these days?
00:51:01.000 Well, partially it's because of all this immigration, in my opinion.
00:51:05.000 Because what happens is you have a lot of these lower income immigrants come into the country, they take up the housing stock, they take up the demand, they push up prices.
00:51:13.000 I think this is also going to cause inflation with regard to housing.
00:51:16.000 And to your point, when you don't enforce the laws and you allow people to come in, and I'm not saying one thing or the other, I'm just saying the facts of supply and demand are, if you have the same amount of supply or lower supply, which you have for housing, and you have greater demand, You're going to see also the cost of goods, in my opinion, go up in this country and continue to go up, specifically housing.
00:51:36.000 This is something that the immigration minister in New Zealand just talked about.
00:51:40.000 You know, New Zealand is a very, very small country anyways.
00:51:43.000 And they were actually talking about restricting legal immigration, restricting short term work visas.
00:51:47.000 I'm looking at Chris because he added so many articles.
00:51:50.000 I'm like, remember when this happened?
00:51:51.000 Yeah.
00:51:52.000 And they were saying, you know, we can't just have the number they were saying is like 170,000 people.
00:51:58.000 come to the country because we can't absorb them.
00:52:00.000 Our economy can't handle it.
00:52:01.000 We don't have the housing.
00:52:03.000 The other thing that bothers me a lot about when we talk about migration is that the government uses migration as this way to say like, oh look, it's solving all these problems that we are not willing to address.
00:52:13.000 So one of the things that comes up a lot with birth rate is that the American birth rate is declining.
00:52:16.000 There's a lot of reasons for that.
00:52:17.000 Some of it's cultural attitude.
00:52:18.000 Some of it is that Millennials are like, I can't afford this.
00:52:22.000 But instead you'll see these articles about Birth rate declining and then you'll have the same organization say, but don't worry because, you know, migration helps us.
00:52:30.000 So we're not in crisis because rather than encouraging and helping American families have their own children, we're just bringing in new people who aren't from here and may not even be here legally.
00:52:38.000 Like, they act like this is the solution to problems when actually they could offer, you know, child tax care credits.
00:52:45.000 They could do all kinds of things, but instead they're like, it's just easier for us to replace you.
00:52:49.000 And that sounds horrible to me.
00:52:50.000 Like, that doesn't sound like a government that rallies around and behind its people.
00:52:54.000 Well yeah, they hate us.
00:52:55.000 Yeah, they hate us!
00:52:56.000 They hate our guts.
00:52:57.000 Your water, your pipes in your city, full of lead.
00:53:01.000 Your auto manufacturing's being stripped away from you.
00:53:05.000 Jobs are collapsing, the value of the dollar is collapsing.
00:53:08.000 Foreign wars that have nothing to do with the United States that you don't even understand, none of us really do.
00:53:12.000 Can't buy a house.
00:53:13.000 Can't buy a house, can't afford food, it's getting worse, and what does your government do for you?
00:53:19.000 They allow millions of people to illegally enter the country, come to your communities, take over your public centers, demand from you.
00:53:29.000 Here, I got a tweet for you.
00:53:31.000 Maud Marin says, yesterday my eldest son's soccer team could not play one of their scheduled games because migrants refused to leave the field the league had permits for.
00:53:39.000 Even after the cops came and told them they needed to leave, finally the ref said it was too late for the game to start and left.
00:53:45.000 Two teams of high school boys in uniform, with their coaches present, and a valid permit could not play a soccer match in New York City because our city has become lawless.
00:53:53.000 Not the biggest issue or problem, but so ugly and so diminishing to the quality of life.
00:53:58.000 Elon Musk responds, this will get much worse.
00:54:03.000 It will.
00:54:04.000 And so this is my fear.
00:54:06.000 It's not so much that people on the right will start to believe there's no government, it's that the government has effectively fled.
00:54:15.000 It's not even a question of whether you want to believe in the government or not.
00:54:19.000 It really just feels like there isn't one.
00:54:23.000 It's just Biden's doing what he wants.
00:54:27.000 I'll say it again.
00:54:28.000 The Titanic has hit the iceberg and the powerful elites are pulling as much of the fine china as they can as they run to the lifeboats.
00:54:36.000 A couple big stories.
00:54:38.000 The price of gold has jumped quite a bit.
00:54:41.000 I think, what, maybe like 400 bucks in the past few months?
00:54:44.000 And reports that ultra-wealthy Americans have started purchasing passports in huge numbers, more than we've seen before.
00:54:52.000 Well, I forgot what they're calling them, but they're like emergency secondary passports for other countries because the fear is... It's... It's collapsing.
00:55:01.000 Yeah.
00:55:02.000 So, uh, you know, a lot of people like to buy their St.
00:55:04.000 Kitts and Nevis passport.
00:55:06.000 I think it costs... I don't know what it costs now, but I remember someone told me that they bought one for 50k back in the day.
00:55:12.000 A lot of people are going, El Salvador has passports available for people who want to invest in the country.
00:55:18.000 And a lot of people are buying passports, secondary citizenship, because they're watching what's happening here.
00:55:24.000 And the people with money, what are they doing?
00:55:28.000 They're building bunkers.
00:55:29.000 It's funny when I get these Instagram ads for these, have you seen them?
00:55:33.000 The big underground bunkers?
00:55:34.000 They're even doing it now on Fox News.
00:55:35.000 Have you seen it?
00:55:36.000 Not the bunkers, but a lot of the food and Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:41.000 Yeah, I used to hear a lot of wealthy people talk about it, now it's...
00:55:46.000 How does all this feel to you though?
00:55:47.000 Because you have a young family.
00:55:48.000 I mean, so does our executive editor over there.
00:55:50.000 Like when you guys watch these videos, do you feel scared for your kids or do you feel like more empowered to do something about it?
00:55:57.000 What's the impact?
00:55:58.000 I feel more empowered to come on here and do something about it.
00:56:02.000 I mean, I love helping people online and we help immigrants.
00:56:05.000 We help everybody.
00:56:07.000 But at some point you have to stand up for yourself.
00:56:09.000 And when you've got all of these people coming in, where, you know, these people on the screen, where are they all going to live?
00:56:14.000 That's the problem.
00:56:15.000 They're living in shelters, and the hearing was on the treatment of the migrants at shelters.
00:56:22.000 There's some behind-the-scenes stuff that hasn't been made public yet that some journalists are working on that I can't say too much about, but let me just say that I think most people assume it's worse than we realize.
00:56:37.000 That this is surface-level news.
00:56:40.000 But what's going on behind the scenes is probably substantially worse.
00:56:42.000 I'm talking, you know, we got the reports out of Chicago of tuberculosis.
00:56:46.000 Of mumps.
00:56:48.000 Yeah.
00:56:49.000 During Occupy Wall Street, several women were raped.
00:56:53.000 And the occupiers told everyone, do not report this.
00:56:57.000 We will take care of it.
00:56:59.000 And they told the woman who had been raped not to tell anybody, because if the press found out, it would hurt their cause.
00:57:07.000 Take that into consideration when you see what's going on with this stuff, and imagine what's going on in these cities and these shelters that they're not telling you about.
00:57:14.000 Yeah, this is really dismaying, so I'd like to add an additional black pill on top of it.
00:57:18.000 Because there was one piece of coverage today that I thought was just the perfect encapsulation of this situation and where we're kind of at right now.
00:57:25.000 It's Savannah Hernandez.
00:57:26.000 Did you guys see her video?
00:57:28.000 No.
00:57:28.000 Okay, so she's on the ground in NYC today, and she saw a guy with a NYC employee badge on.
00:57:34.000 And he looks around at City Hall and he goes, what's happening here?
00:57:36.000 And she goes, well, these are all illegal immigrants.
00:57:38.000 And he said, that's a mean thing to say.
00:57:40.000 And she's like, wait, what do you mean?
00:57:42.000 And he like ran away.
00:57:44.000 Like, that's all he had.
00:57:45.000 Like, you would think that footage like this and pictures like this would be sobering to anybody that has some scrap of a brain left.
00:57:51.000 You know, it's funny.
00:57:52.000 But it's not.
00:57:52.000 Someone tweeted something where they were like... Don't you think a majority of people, though, are uncomfortable with this?
00:57:57.000 Well, I mean, this guy isn't, and he's not the only bozo in New York City that's just that clueless.
00:58:02.000 They're just scared.
00:58:03.000 They're in a cult.
00:58:04.000 If you speak out, you lose your job, you're fired.
00:58:08.000 And so they're all just saying what they think needs to be said.
00:58:10.000 So they'll say that till they die?
00:58:12.000 Until they're told by the quote-unquote right side of history.
00:58:16.000 This is why when that OnlyFans porn star said, I found God and I'm quitting.
00:58:21.000 I'm like, good.
00:58:22.000 I don't care if she's honest or not.
00:58:23.000 Maybe she's grifting.
00:58:25.000 But when normies decide, like porn stars decide, hey, the real grift is finding God and convincing.
00:58:31.000 It reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman's like, Christian music is the path towards getting a platinum record because Christians will buy whatever.
00:58:40.000 And my point is, Once grifters are like, the real money is here, then the culture shifts in that direction.
00:58:49.000 Because they feel that is the right side of history.
00:58:51.000 So that's a good sign.
00:58:54.000 Somebody tweeted something funny where they were like, you know, I'm really worried about what's going on.
00:58:57.000 I've been feeling concerned about the country.
00:59:00.000 And then the response from their friend was, you've been watching too much Tim Pool.
00:59:02.000 And I thought it was funny.
00:59:04.000 But the funny thing about it is, it actually is more surprising to me that there are people who think nothing is wrong.
00:59:11.000 They don't watch TikTok.
00:59:13.000 How many viral TikToks are there of people being like, I can't pay my bills anymore.
00:59:17.000 I can't feed my kids.
00:59:17.000 I can't afford to live.
00:59:18.000 Well, we see it on Twitter every day.
00:59:19.000 Every single day.
00:59:21.000 And there are people who are like, no, everything's fine.
00:59:22.000 It's like, have you seen the cost of food?
00:59:24.000 Have you seen the cost of rent?
00:59:26.000 Have you seen the cost of homes?
00:59:28.000 Like, young people are living in cubicles.
00:59:31.000 And there are people who plug their ears, close their eyes, say, la la la la la, stop listening to these podcasts.
00:59:36.000 They're wrong.
00:59:36.000 They're wrong.
00:59:37.000 Go touch grass.
00:59:37.000 Everything's fine.
00:59:38.000 It's like, bro, I went and touched grass and I met a bunch of people who were complaining they couldn't eat.
00:59:38.000 Go touch grass.
00:59:43.000 That's what I find when I go outside.
00:59:44.000 Those soccer kids wanted to touch the grass, but they couldn't because they weren't allowed.
00:59:49.000 Well, I mean, yeah.
00:59:50.000 So you're seeing all that.
00:59:51.000 What do you see on X with people talking about their struggles?
00:59:55.000 Well, we have three million what I call teammates, which are followers.
00:59:58.000 And across the three million people, basically people retweet when I say, hey, do you need help with groceries?
01:00:03.000 Do you need help with medicine?
01:00:04.000 Etc. And it kind of goes viral Tim and what happens is many days we get you know, 30 to over a hundred thousand replies
01:00:11.000 What I've seen in the last let's call it five years or so has been
01:00:14.000 What started out was people needing help and people who wouldn't want free money, right who doesn't want free money?
01:00:19.000 Everyone wants free money these days, but it's like okay now these days people it's not even free money now
01:00:26.000 it's people need to survive and And what you could use to buy for a meal for $5 or $10, now you need $20 or $30 to go do it.
01:00:34.000 And so our ability to affect people and help people on Twitter is limited because our resources only go so far.
01:00:40.000 And I think this is the quiet effect of inflation, as you're seeing poverty become more mainstream.
01:00:46.000 And, you know, they talk about the middle class.
01:00:47.000 The middle class, in many ways, is so far gone, in my opinion, when you have to spend $20, $30 in order to afford a meal.
01:00:54.000 Yeah.
01:00:55.000 I think that does something.
01:00:56.000 There's a video I saw, a woman saying that her son was asking her, like, when are you going to go to the store?
01:01:01.000 And she was like, I have $90 right now.
01:01:03.000 Like, it's a very stressful time for a lot of people.
01:01:07.000 And I think it is interesting that you are seeing such engagement with the work that you're doing.
01:01:10.000 People are wanting to help others, even though I'm sure they're also feeling, you know, that financial burden.
01:01:15.000 They are, yes.
01:01:16.000 People come together and they donate and they chip in.
01:01:18.000 And that's been the viral, exciting thing of it.
01:01:20.000 But Tim, to answer your question, the last three, four years, it's just gotten worse.
01:01:24.000 And it's inflation, inflation, inflation.
01:01:27.000 I mean, that to me, I think is going to be the biggest issue of this.
01:01:30.000 Election, or it should be, because I think that immigration also causes that.
01:01:33.000 Yeah, it do.
01:01:34.000 I think it's inflation, immigration, and a sense of geopolitical instability that's really going to drive people to the borders.
01:01:40.000 I mean, so much of what I see right now is the left saying abortion is the number one issue this year.
01:01:44.000 You see, you know, AP has a permanent place on their website for like, here's abortion news.
01:01:48.000 But when you talk to the average American voter, it's, I need to pay my bills.
01:01:53.000 I need, I want to try and buy a house one day.
01:01:55.000 I don't want my relatives to be sent abroad to wars.
01:01:58.000 I don't want to fight it.
01:02:00.000 I think about these things with these wars and stuff too about this Ukraine thing and even the Israeli conflict is, you look at on Twitter, people are dying every day.
01:02:08.000 They can't afford insulin.
01:02:09.000 They can't afford cancer treatment.
01:02:11.000 I mean, one of the things we do with Twitter philanthropy, ex-philanthropy now, is we pay for groceries for people who are going through chemo.
01:02:16.000 I mean, people can't afford to afford groceries.
01:02:19.000 They have to be out of work when they have chemo.
01:02:21.000 I mean, in my opinion, this is where the resources should be going.
01:02:24.000 And unfortunately or fortunately, that's why we have to do what we have to do.
01:02:28.000 Mm-hmm.
01:02:29.000 Yeah.
01:02:29.000 Well, to your point about the abortion issue, we just sent our field reporter, Elad, to a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, and he was talking to Trump supporters that were there, and he would bring up the abortion issue.
01:02:39.000 And for the most part, they didn't really want to talk about it.
01:02:42.000 There was one guy that was just like, I'm not an abortion guy.
01:02:44.000 Look, our election was stolen.
01:02:46.000 The next one is going to be stolen.
01:02:47.000 He's like, we have to stay on topic!
01:02:49.000 Yeah, and like he would ask some follow-up questions and I just sensed a general kind of apathy toward that whole issue, because there are more pressing issues that are really impacting people's day-to-day lives.
01:02:59.000 Right, if you can't pay your medical bills and you can't pay for groceries, you can't really talk about other things.
01:03:04.000 These hypotheticals mean nothing.
01:03:05.000 Hypothetical and philosophical ethical debates, while there is a place for them, and you know I know this abortion in particular is an important issue for a lot of conservatives, If you are struggling to make ends meet, you are needing to stop that issue first, right?
01:03:17.000 You need to triage where the biggest issue is.
01:03:20.000 Which again, I think only works in Trump's favor this election cycle.
01:03:23.000 I don't think it works in Biden's favor.
01:03:25.000 That's why, you know, our beloved Vice President Kamala Harris is not currently on an anti-inflation tour.
01:03:32.000 She's on a national abortion speaking tour.
01:03:35.000 That's absolutely wild.
01:03:36.000 Is that crazy?
01:03:38.000 It just seems like, and unfortunately this was similar in 2019 and 2020, Moody's Analytics was giving Trump this amazing projection for a victory in 2020, and then COVID, and it made everything very different.
01:03:53.000 Looking at what's going on right now, I think if you track historical precedent, It would be insane to think Trump could lose with the rate of inflation, with mass migration.
01:04:03.000 These are huge issues.
01:04:04.000 People can't afford to eat.
01:04:06.000 I mean, historically, we don't really have TikTok and Instagram and X. But now we're seeing these videos pop up all day, every day of people being like, I can't afford to live this way.
01:04:15.000 What's going on?
01:04:16.000 The only thing I can say, though, is why I don't know is that.
01:04:19.000 Somehow.
01:04:21.000 Every bellwether district went for Trump, but Trump still lost the bellwethers.
01:04:27.000 They get it right every time.
01:04:27.000 For some reason, Trump still ended up losing.
01:04:30.000 It's very strange how that could happen.
01:04:32.000 And so with that anomaly, I have to wonder what will happen this time around in November that Republicans are not prepared for.
01:04:40.000 And they're probably not.
01:04:43.000 Yeah, I feel like this year is only going to have more plot twists as we go on.
01:04:47.000 It's going to be a long road in November.
01:04:48.000 It's going to be a long road.
01:04:50.000 And I think, again, we – so one of Nikki Haley's – she gave that speech before she dropped out saying, I'm not going to drop out no matter what happens in South Carolina.
01:04:59.000 She – and to her credit, she dropped out after Super Tuesday – she said, you know, if I left the race now, this would be the longest general election in American history.
01:05:09.000 And I think in some ways that's to the American people's benefits.
01:05:13.000 I always say it's because we should be pressing both leaders more intensely about who they're going to staff, like who's going to be the head of different agencies and who's going to be in the cabinet and stuff like that.
01:05:23.000 But I also think it lets all of the issues simmer on a national stage a little bit longer, right?
01:05:30.000 Every time you go to the grocery store and it's more expensive or I just saw the other day that car insurance was up by 26% nationally.
01:05:37.000 Every time you have to pay a bill as we drive towards the election, you have to think very seriously between, do I want the status quo, which is Joe Biden, or do I want something else, which is Trump?
01:05:48.000 Look, it's fascinating to me that the Democratic Party outright says you should have less stuff.
01:05:55.000 They're screaming in your face, there's too many people, you shouldn't have kids, there's too much pollution, there's too much carbon, you shouldn't be driving.
01:06:03.000 And then Trump is of the party that says, drill, baby, drill.
01:06:07.000 The craziest thing is on Twitter, sometimes I'll just test some things out there, because I have this audience, as I said, that's 50% Democrats, 50% Republicans.
01:06:15.000 And I'll tweet out something innocuous like, you know, it's great to have children, or you should consider having children.
01:06:22.000 And just the most vile tweets in the entire world.
01:06:24.000 And I don't know what political ideology people are saying this, I have an idea.
01:06:28.000 Yeah, strong guess.
01:06:29.000 But I just can't believe how pissed people get when you just, and I say fairly innocent stuff too, like, you should just maybe have more kids.
01:06:38.000 Having kids will make you happy.
01:06:40.000 Kids are a great source of joy.
01:06:41.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, well, isn't my Pilates class a source of joy?
01:06:44.000 Or isn't my whatever?
01:06:46.000 And it's like, I didn't say those two things, though, like different types of joy, my friend.
01:06:50.000 That's true, you didn't say that.
01:06:53.000 But people will attack you anyways for it, right?
01:06:56.000 Yes, people are mentally hijacked these days.
01:06:58.000 It's like that guy you were showing earlier who was burning the Trump sign.
01:07:02.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, that's another story that we have.
01:07:05.000 Let's jump to it.
01:07:06.000 Let's jump to it.
01:07:06.000 I think we have it right here.
01:07:09.000 John Cain tweets, James D. White, the Trump sign arsonist, pled guilty to two counts of destruction of personal property this morning.
01:07:16.000 He was sentenced to 12 months probation and 80 hours of community service.
01:07:20.000 Here's the video, and I wonder if we can zoom in.
01:07:24.000 Is there any sound?
01:07:24.000 No sound?
01:07:25.000 Oh, I gotta jump back.
01:07:27.000 So here you go.
01:07:30.000 For what reason?
01:07:33.000 He's kicking a Trump sign.
01:07:35.000 It says Trump 1 on it.
01:07:36.000 And nothing happened to the sign.
01:07:38.000 And he's just kicking it.
01:07:40.000 He really did a number on that one.
01:07:41.000 I know what I'm gonna do.
01:07:42.000 And it's got, like, metal on it, too.
01:07:44.000 He shows up at night, or at 4 a.m.
01:07:46.000 In his biker outfit.
01:07:47.000 You gotta love it.
01:07:49.000 Look at this.
01:07:50.000 He tries to move the flag.
01:07:51.000 Doesn't want to get charged with a non-hate crime.
01:07:56.000 He brings a lighter.
01:07:58.000 He sets fire to a sign that says Trump won.
01:08:03.000 And then he runs.
01:08:04.000 He's on camera doing it.
01:08:05.000 Great run.
01:08:06.000 What was the purpose of running?
01:08:08.000 Why did he have to run?
01:08:09.000 Right.
01:08:10.000 He walked to it and then he ran?
01:08:13.000 He knew he was doing something wrong and he's a child.
01:08:15.000 Yeah.
01:08:16.000 He's a child in a man's body and, like a child, he ran off because he was guilty.
01:08:20.000 Look at this.
01:08:21.000 And then, uh, didn't he, like, build it again?
01:08:24.000 Oh, yeah, look, look, look.
01:08:25.000 He came back.
01:08:25.000 He comes back again and does it.
01:08:28.000 He only got probation for this?
01:08:30.000 Look at this.
01:08:31.000 The dude makes a sign again.
01:08:32.000 He shows back up to burn it again.
01:08:34.000 Several months later.
01:08:36.000 In his bike outfit.
01:08:37.000 This is several months later?
01:08:38.000 Yeah, because the other two were in August, right?
01:08:40.000 And this one's in February.
01:08:41.000 Was it August?
01:08:43.000 Yeah.
01:08:43.000 You're right.
01:08:44.000 Wow.
01:08:45.000 So he burned the sign, the sign got forgotten and he just, like we talked about this before, he kicks the sign and then leaves and he's brooding about it.
01:08:52.000 So he comes back with a lighter and then the sign gets repaired and he broods about it some more for several months.
01:08:57.000 It comes back and does it again.
01:08:58.000 Like he, it's compulsive.
01:09:00.000 He can't help it.
01:09:00.000 That's how irritated and angry the sign makes it.
01:09:03.000 It's a sign in a yard.
01:09:04.000 Please calm down.
01:09:05.000 Maybe he needs to go on a longer bike ride or something, you know?
01:09:07.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:09:08.000 What drives a grown man?
01:09:10.000 20 years ago, this is unthinkable.
01:09:11.000 I think it's generational.
01:09:12.000 off that off for one night. What drives a grown man? 20 years ago this is
01:09:18.000 unthinkable. I think it's generational. I think people need to understand. Let me
01:09:26.000 give this cartoon example, right?
01:09:27.000 I can't remember what cartoon I was watching, but it's like a little kid, and it was like some wacky magic show.
01:09:32.000 It might have been like Fairly OddParents or something.
01:09:34.000 And then he gets turned into an old person, and his pants immediately shoot up to his elbows.
01:09:38.000 Or to his armpits.
01:09:39.000 The idea being that when you get old, you naturally just decide to pull your pants way up.
01:09:46.000 No, it's because 50 years ago, people wore their pants much higher.
01:09:50.000 Today, they still wear their pants much higher.
01:09:52.000 Younger generations have different practices.
01:09:54.000 So the idea now is we see, like, something is wrong with people.
01:09:57.000 What's driving people insane?
01:09:58.000 No, no, no, no, you're mistaken.
01:10:00.000 This guy was always insane.
01:10:02.000 This, his generation, 20 years ago.
01:10:05.000 The reason we didn't see people doing this 20 years ago is because boomers were very different than this.
01:10:10.000 Now you've got Gen Xers, who are a very different generation raised with different values, engaging in these behaviors.
01:10:17.000 What do you think is going to happen when the jackass generation is old and angry about politics?
01:10:22.000 It's already starting to happen.
01:10:23.000 Jess Margera won't shut up about Trump.
01:10:25.000 I mean, this guy, he does not like Donald Trump.
01:10:27.000 And I'm like, you're the drummer from the Jackass videos.
01:10:30.000 Like, why are you going on Twitter and screaming about Donald Trump?
01:10:34.000 It's just these generations are moving into political spaces.
01:10:39.000 They're older.
01:10:39.000 And what you'll get is this.
01:10:41.000 So take a look at What millennials do, and now consider what they'll do when they're older, when they're the ones in charge of these institutions.
01:10:50.000 Well, I'll say this.
01:10:51.000 So I have this Twitter following, right?
01:10:53.000 I was on the board of this Fortune 500 company, which is our family's company.
01:10:56.000 It's a $20 billion company.
01:10:57.000 One of the executives was running a whole network of fake accounts, Tim, on Twitter to attack me, using other people's identities.
01:11:05.000 Can you imagine that?
01:11:06.000 Yes, this is all true.
01:11:07.000 Okay, he was fired from this Fortune 500 company for running all these fake accounts against me.
01:11:12.000 My point being is this guy's however old, right?
01:11:16.000 45, 50 years old, multi-millionaire executive.
01:11:19.000 It's just like this guy with, I mean, it's different.
01:11:21.000 This guy's doing arson.
01:11:22.000 This guy's coming up with fake accounts.
01:11:24.000 What is creating people to just go and do these crazy acts right now where they're hiding behind things or going out and doing this thinking nobody's going to catch them.
01:11:36.000 And they're just totally mentally hijacked.
01:11:38.000 And this is happening everywhere.
01:11:40.000 Everywhere it's happening.
01:11:42.000 I don't think it was months apart, I think he put the wrong, February was wrong or something like that.
01:11:47.000 He might, I can't, I remember when we talked about this initially and there's maybe it's wrong, there's also like, I don't know where in the country this is, there's no snow on the ground, the leaves look similar.
01:11:56.000 But either way, he came back multiple days to be like- It was multiple days, he corrected early on, he said that it was meant to be August, not February, so.
01:12:04.000 Still, just like this biker man.
01:12:07.000 I don't think it's that Trump made them crazy.
01:12:13.000 I think it's that they were raised in a country making them crazy and now they're older and we are seeing this and it's shocking to us because we've never seen people this old.
01:12:23.000 When this guy was 17, I'm sure he did a bunch of really dumb stuff, and his friends laughed about it.
01:12:28.000 I'm sure they bought cans of shaving cream and sprayed it all over the place, jumped in shopping carts and pushed people down the stairs, and were doing ridiculous things like that.
01:12:37.000 Now he's an older guy, and he's doing the exact same things he's likely always done.
01:12:42.000 We are just shocked to see someone who's older doing it, because when we were younger, older people did not do this.
01:12:47.000 Well, and we can catch him digitally, too.
01:12:48.000 That's true, yeah.
01:12:49.000 Right?
01:12:50.000 Yeah, that's the thing.
01:12:53.000 We probably would have assumed it was some dumb kid.
01:12:54.000 Right.
01:12:55.000 Now we find it's a middle-aged guy or something like that.
01:12:58.000 Right, and he does, I mean, this is a small point, but he does try to move the American flag.
01:13:02.000 Like, he doesn't want to burn the flag that makes him not like an Antifa type, right?
01:13:06.000 He has, there's a line he is willing to draw.
01:13:10.000 It's just the Trump sign that it's so under his skin.
01:13:13.000 He's not just going to kick it.
01:13:14.000 He's not going to light it on fire once.
01:13:16.000 He's going to continue to try and burn it down.
01:13:18.000 And I think that does show a level of like, I mean, you got to hand it to him.
01:13:22.000 He was persistent.
01:13:24.000 He did not want that sign to be in his neighborhood, I guess.
01:13:28.000 I only see this getting worse.
01:13:31.000 You know, one of the things I've talked about quite a bit is the polarization is not caused by Trump.
01:13:38.000 The polarization is rooted in the generations.
01:13:43.000 And so the reason why we saw in the 90s, when you look at the Pew research on the political alignment, Democrats and Republicans overlap because they did.
01:13:51.000 Now you see the political climate spreading.
01:13:53.000 It's because younger people are polarized, and they're becoming more and more polarized based on the media they consume.
01:14:00.000 When these 13-year-olds, in 10 years, are 23, they will be voting, and they are going to be as far left and as far right as possible.
01:14:08.000 And then we're going to be like, what's polarizing this country?
01:14:10.000 No, no, no, no.
01:14:11.000 The country polarized a long time ago, starting with the younger generations.
01:14:15.000 And then once they get older and start entering the voting bloc and start taking over industry, it becomes more and more apparent.
01:14:21.000 And there's nothing you can do to stop.
01:14:23.000 Well, that's what I'm saying too, is it's taking over industry, not just politics.
01:14:27.000 Right.
01:14:28.000 And it's going to exacerbate to the point where the system can't sustain itself.
01:14:32.000 You've got overt communists.
01:14:37.000 How can you run a country that's this divided?
01:14:42.000 How can you coexist with people who fundamentally believe in things that you think are evil and wrong?
01:14:48.000 You know, the question I ask on the abortion issue for people on the right, if you think abortion is murder, would you act in defense of the baby about to be murdered?
01:15:00.000 And most of them say no.
01:15:03.000 But I wonder what happens when you have ideas like that, hyper-polarized, and you get to the point where the next generations grow up, and then you have 30-year-olds who are substantially more polarized, and they're engaging in behaviors that are considered to be abject evil.
01:15:19.000 I mean, look at Maid, for instance, medical assistants and dying.
01:15:22.000 I mean, you've got in Europe young women who are like, I'm bored, and the doctor says, we will kill you.
01:15:29.000 Quite literally, a woman said, I don't know what I'm alive for and I have no purpose and I can't take it so I just want to die.
01:15:34.000 And the doctors are like, okay.
01:15:37.000 I feel like something like that comes to the United States.
01:15:39.000 You are going to have people on the right be like, no, that's genocide.
01:15:44.000 And when that happens, then what?
01:15:47.000 The left is arguing for the right to sterilize children.
01:15:51.000 I mean, we're at that point in polarization where we are getting into dangerous territory.
01:15:57.000 Yeah.
01:15:58.000 Yeah, I think ultimately there comes a point where it's like when you're stretching a rubber band, right?
01:16:04.000 When it's pulled too far in different directions, either it snaps and you have two separate things or you have to release it and it comes back together.
01:16:10.000 It's not the same as it was before, but it doesn't have the same kind of tension.
01:16:14.000 And I think America's culture is at a point where it could go either way.
01:16:19.000 You could either see really serious divides among people or you see a point when, you know, the tension breaks and things come back towards the center.
01:16:27.000 Obviously, I think one of those probably would be more peaceful and nicer for people.
01:16:31.000 I don't think people want to see the country dramatically shift and break apart.
01:16:36.000 But it does not seem like our culture can sustain the way it's going when it's actually pulling itself apart.
01:16:44.000 Do you think as many people hate Trump as you used to?
01:16:48.000 I mean, I think... No, I don't.
01:16:49.000 I know for a fact that's not the case anymore.
01:16:52.000 You can see it now when you go out to, quote-unquote, touch grass.
01:16:57.000 I agree.
01:16:58.000 There are people who... I've met... There's one guy that I've been talking to who's like a Gen Z guy, and he's just like, I was a Democrat a few years ago, now I'm probably gonna vote for Trump.
01:17:06.000 And he's just like, it's the immigration, man.
01:17:08.000 Yeah, there are a couple issues.
01:17:10.000 And no one loves Biden, right?
01:17:12.000 It's not like...
01:17:14.000 People really love Trump, and some people are more neutral on him, but with Biden they're like, well, this is what we have.
01:17:20.000 Yeah, it's a team thing.
01:17:21.000 Right.
01:17:22.000 They're voting Democrat, they're not voting Team Biden, whereas people would vote for Trump if he ran as an independent, right?
01:17:28.000 People are behind Trump 110% so much so that he really has changed the attitudes of the party, I think.
01:17:34.000 I think the RNC has gone through a lot of internal change because of his influence.
01:17:38.000 The DNC is effectively the same and no one is out.
01:17:41.000 I don't know anyone who's like, Biden is the best.
01:17:44.000 I would follow him to the ends of the earth.
01:17:45.000 They're more like, well, he has the right letter at the end of the ticket.
01:17:48.000 So it just feels like years ago, 50 percent of people hated Trump in so many ways.
01:17:52.000 And now it just doesn't seem like that as much anymore.
01:17:55.000 Yeah.
01:17:55.000 Just when you're talking to people, just when I'm talking to people, even the sentiment on Twitter, you know, like for sure I posted a tweet a few weeks ago where I said, oh, I talked to the president for a few minutes or something like that.
01:18:05.000 If I had done that.
01:18:06.000 Three four years ago. I would have had probably 50,000 people on follow me. I didn't lose any followers, right?
01:18:13.000 That to me is an indication of some kind of sentiment. Yeah, what that is. I don't know now you still got people who
01:18:20.000 went absolutely crazy about that
01:18:23.000 It just doesn't seem to be the way it was. Yeah, I knew people who had no business in politics
01:18:28.000 Vote for Joe Biden in 2020 and this is what I argued a ban in when he was like
01:18:33.000 It was rigged or stolen and I was like, you know when I saw my skateboarder friend film a video of himself
01:18:38.000 Dropping his mail-in bout saying we got a vote for Biden. I was like, oh wow Trump lost
01:18:43.000 Skateboarders notoriously don't care about anything.
01:18:46.000 Notoriously, we'll live in a studio apartment with 10 people paying 50 bucks a month if it means they have to work less so they can skate more.
01:18:55.000 And here's a guy who's like in his late 20s being like, I'm doing my part and voting for Joe Biden.
01:19:00.000 And I was like, wow, now that's mobilization.
01:19:04.000 So I...
01:19:05.000 Today, I don't see it.
01:19:07.000 Today, a lot of these people are now saying like, yeah, that was a mistake.
01:19:12.000 I've talked to some people and family members.
01:19:14.000 They were like, I should not have voted for Joe Biden.
01:19:16.000 A lot of people saying they regret it.
01:19:19.000 I was hanging out at the poker tables a couple of weeks ago and one guy said, I voted for Biden in 2020.
01:19:23.000 Boy, was that a mistake?
01:19:24.000 I'll vote for Trump now.
01:19:25.000 And I'm like, really?
01:19:26.000 I was like, you liberal, conservative guy?
01:19:27.000 And he's like, neither.
01:19:28.000 I just voted for Biden.
01:19:28.000 I don't know.
01:19:30.000 Shouldn't have done it.
01:19:32.000 I hope that's true at scale, but every single person that I know that hated Trump in 2016 hates him more now.
01:19:38.000 They're way gone.
01:19:39.000 All of them?
01:19:40.000 I can't think of one single person that I know in my family, in my circle of friends, my friends' friends, not one person that I know has become interested in the idea of Trump.
01:19:51.000 They hate him more.
01:19:52.000 This is anecdotal, so I mean, I don't know.
01:19:54.000 I mean, mine is anecdotal, too.
01:19:57.000 There are a couple people I know who just got more intense, right?
01:20:01.000 They're gone.
01:20:02.000 There's no bringing them back.
01:20:03.000 But a lot of people I know who identify as either moderate or lean left, they were going to vote for Biden Before, but now they're like, well, I'm gonna vote for Biden.
01:20:11.000 Like, the enthusiasm has gone out of it, right?
01:20:14.000 There isn't the same level of like, we have to vote for Biden because absolutely can't be Trump.
01:20:19.000 They're like, well, I registered as a Democrat, so I should support that guy.
01:20:23.000 But it's again, like I said, there's no love for Biden.
01:20:26.000 People aren't saying we really believe in his leadership.
01:20:28.000 We really believe in his vision for the country.
01:20:31.000 We know he will not trip up stairs again.
01:20:32.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:33.000 Like there's nothing about Biden's appealing except for the fact that they think they should be voting for him.
01:20:38.000 And I think to that sense that that.
01:20:41.000 Complete irrational anger for some people has subsided.
01:20:44.000 Maybe not for everyone.
01:20:45.000 Right.
01:20:46.000 But I think it's changed.
01:20:47.000 We'll see.
01:20:48.000 I mean, we'll find out.
01:20:49.000 Let's grab this one last segment from the Postmillennial.
01:20:52.000 California moves to create a genealogy office to determine who gets reparations.
01:20:57.000 Ah, yes.
01:20:58.000 We're going to track your genetics to figure out if you are the descendant of a free black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.
01:21:06.000 Can I just say it?
01:21:07.000 Like, is anyone who's African American like, yes, U.S.
01:21:10.000 government, we want to register with you?
01:21:11.000 Like, that seems bad!
01:21:13.000 That seems not good!
01:21:14.000 To be like, please submit your genetic identity to the government?
01:21:19.000 No, no.
01:21:20.000 The California Senate Judiciary Committee has approved legislation that would establish a new cabinet-level agency tasked with carrying out the State Reparation Task Force's recommendations.
01:21:29.000 The California American Freedmen's Affairs Agency would be headed by a secretary appointed by the governor.
01:21:34.000 And among other things, create a genealogy office to help determine who is eligible to receive as much as 1.2 million dollars to make up for the injustices committed against their ancestors per just the news.
01:21:46.000 Absolutely amazing!
01:21:50.000 We were talking in the culture war and I said, why don't we just give all this west coast federal land as reparations?
01:21:57.000 Why not?
01:21:59.000 The federal government has seized a whole bunch of land.
01:22:01.000 It is going unused.
01:22:02.000 A lot of the land is being sold to China.
01:22:05.000 Okay, here you go.
01:22:06.000 Reparations solved.
01:22:07.000 Everybody, here's 40 acres.
01:22:09.000 And that will strip the federal government of a lot of its land ownership.
01:22:13.000 Give it to American citizens.
01:22:14.000 Granted, it's a compromise.
01:22:16.000 I'm not a big fan of the racial division stuff, but, you know.
01:22:19.000 There'll be a lot of white people who get it because they're descendants of slaves as well, because you get this far down the line and there's gonna be a guy who's white but does have a grandmother who was a slave or something.
01:22:27.000 And I'm just like, take the land from the federal government and see if I care.
01:22:30.000 Yeah, the federal government's not gonna give it up though, right?
01:22:33.000 I mean, California could give away state land and instead they're like, send us your genetic information and we'll make another bureaucratic agency and help you out with taxpayer money.
01:22:44.000 I think you're right.
01:22:45.000 There could be a simpler solution.
01:22:46.000 Instead, they're like, more private information.
01:22:48.000 That's what we need to solve this problem.
01:22:50.000 But I mean, of course, their perspective is like, oh, no, no, we're not giving you anything.
01:22:54.000 You guys are going to give each other what we say that you're going to give.
01:22:56.000 Yeah, you're right.
01:22:58.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:22:59.000 Way too logical.
01:23:00.000 It seems not positive at all.
01:23:01.000 Yeah.
01:23:02.000 And of course, the government is malevolent, you know, at the state and local level.
01:23:05.000 So, you know, I just... You don't think you're going to solve this?
01:23:10.000 It's the Enclave, that's how I view it for those that are fans of Fallout.
01:23:13.000 It is a group of powerful individuals and they've separated themselves from the system and they're just doing whatever they want at this point.
01:23:21.000 I don't know that.
01:23:21.000 And they know how to use the power.
01:23:24.000 Right.
01:23:24.000 Yeah.
01:23:25.000 They use the power.
01:23:26.000 People just fall in line.
01:23:27.000 And that's all that matters for them, I guess.
01:23:30.000 People will do whatever the government tells them to do.
01:23:33.000 Trump supporters, conservatives will back the blue.
01:23:35.000 We've talked about how CBP is facilitating child sex slavery.
01:23:40.000 And we've had people come on this show and say, yes or what?
01:23:43.000 And I'm like, well, it's not the officer's fault, it's the president's fault.
01:23:47.000 And I'm like, nah, it's the guy who's transferring children into sex slavery's fault.
01:23:52.000 But this is why I am surprised that they would even propose archiving, like, a minority group's genetic material, right?
01:23:59.000 Like, why would anyone be okay with this unless you think you're really going to get something out of it?
01:24:04.000 And also, when has California ever delivered on these promises, right?
01:24:08.000 It seems way more dangerous to the people involved.
01:24:11.000 You know, they're putting a lot of private information at risk, especially if you use, I don't know, state health insurance?
01:24:16.000 Like, There are all kinds of problems with this and instead they're dangling this sort of big payday out.
01:24:22.000 I think only the government benefits from this and I don't think anyone who honestly thinks that they could get government money from this will see a dime.
01:24:30.000 This is a state, I just had to look up the figure because it's changed, they've already squandered 10 billion dollars on a speed rail that is never going to happen.
01:24:38.000 Oh yeah.
01:24:38.000 But reparations are on their way, don't worry!
01:24:42.000 Just register with your race to the federal or to the state government and we'll figure it out for you.
01:24:46.000 And I'm being serious, like this is one of the things, like if you have, you know, your genetic information could tell that you had a pre-existing condition, could the state then say like, oh well now you don't qualify for this type of health insurance or now we're going to do this or raise a specific tax, like why would you give them any more information to levy against you, especially when none of the money ever
01:25:06.000 comes from any of these things.
01:25:07.000 Just seems very dangerous to me.
01:25:09.000 What I don't understand, it says descendants of a free Black person living in the US prior
01:25:13.000 to the end of the 19th century. So...
01:25:15.000 So you can't have immigrated here from any African country and then claim the money.
01:25:23.000 Well, so if your ancestor was a slave in the year 1900 because, you know, they were still never released, then you don't get anything.
01:25:29.000 None for them.
01:25:30.000 None for them.
01:25:31.000 But, uh... Well, you gotta draw the line somewhere.
01:25:33.000 I mean... Well, the thing is... It's not made of endless money!
01:25:36.000 We're in California!
01:25:37.000 This means that immigrants who came here in 1899 who were black and had kids...
01:25:46.000 But they were never slaves is the argument.
01:25:47.000 They wouldn't qualify.
01:25:47.000 Right.
01:25:49.000 No, they would.
01:25:50.000 A free black person living in the U.S.
01:25:52.000 prior to the end of the 19th century.
01:25:54.000 It initially stated they had to be a chattel enslaved person.
01:25:57.000 Now they're saying a free black person prior to the 19th century.
01:25:59.000 So now more people qualify for reparations.
01:26:04.000 This seems worse.
01:26:05.000 This seems like, again, I don't understand what problem they think they're solving other than potentially making, again, a minority group of people give them sensitive information, which I would be on high alert for.
01:26:17.000 That sounds bad.
01:26:18.000 But who am I to judge California and the all-knowing Governor Gavin Newsom?
01:26:23.000 He's doing a great job, I heard.
01:26:24.000 No, they say that California is five years ahead of the rest of the country and that what happens in California eventually does hit the rest of the country, though I think that's changed with the MAGA movement.
01:26:36.000 I think this is, I think Trump and Trump supporters is like the first time there's been a counter to the left abuse of power and expansion of cultural authority and that's why they're really freaking out.
01:26:45.000 Republicans are the Washington generals to the Democrats Harlem Globetrotters.
01:26:50.000 MAGA comes along and all of a sudden you've got Washington generals dunking and actually winning and the Globetrotters are getting pissed.
01:26:54.000 They're like, what are you doing?
01:26:55.000 You're not supposed to be doing this.
01:26:56.000 We got to get these players out of here.
01:26:57.000 It's ruining the show.
01:26:59.000 But, you know, that's the trajectory of things.
01:27:03.000 And short of some shadow campaign, I don't know, Trump wins.
01:27:07.000 Do you think we'd ever get a Harlem Globetrotter to come on the show?
01:27:09.000 Oh, I don't know.
01:27:11.000 What do you think?
01:27:12.000 Do you think Trump wins?
01:27:14.000 I get concerned with how much it looks like he is winning, to the extent that you want Trump to win.
01:27:18.000 It's almost like, how is he so far ahead?
01:27:21.000 Do you think people are going to get complacent because they feel like it's in the bag?
01:27:25.000 I mean, you know, I don't know if you remember, but in January of 2020, was it 2020 or January 2019?
01:27:25.000 I think so.
01:27:31.000 Yeah, January 2019.
01:27:32.000 Remember how on top of the world he was?
01:27:35.000 He was so untouchable.
01:27:39.000 Everybody I was meeting was saying they made more money in 2019 than at any point in their lives.
01:27:43.000 Insane, right?
01:27:45.000 And so now you've got him up in all these polls and whatnot, but who knows?
01:27:50.000 Like you said, it's gonna be a long battle to November.
01:27:50.000 Who knows?
01:27:54.000 When we were building out our first studio for IRL, it was the beginning of January, 2020.
01:28:00.000 And I went to a furniture store and I was like, we just need a table and chairs, because I don't know what we're doing.
01:28:04.000 And I spent like five grand on buying all this stuff.
01:28:07.000 And the lady was like, this is amazing.
01:28:09.000 And she was super excited.
01:28:10.000 She's like, thank you so much.
01:28:11.000 I walked in the front door, I said, I want it.
01:28:13.000 She was like, really?
01:28:14.000 Like, just like that?
01:28:15.000 And she said, you know, this last year I made more money than I ever have in my life.
01:28:20.000 And I was like, wow, that's amazing.
01:28:20.000 It was the best year.
01:28:22.000 And inflation was low.
01:28:23.000 Yeah, and then we had a guy doing landscaping, and he said the same thing.
01:28:27.000 He said, my company's been booming.
01:28:28.000 He's like, we've never made so much money before.
01:28:30.000 This has been fantastic.
01:28:31.000 Hiring, expanding.
01:28:32.000 I was like, this is awesome.
01:28:34.000 And then March came and everything became awesome.
01:28:37.000 Think about how low inflation was, right?
01:28:38.000 When interest rates were so low.
01:28:40.000 I mean, that was really, in my opinion, the magic sauce, you know. I'm in business day to day and
01:28:47.000 you look at what happened starting in 2020 with these cost of goods sold, you know, the inputs, the
01:28:52.000 cost of the inputs. I mean, people were just not making as much money anymore, not just
01:28:56.000 because of Trump and stuff, I think, but to the extent that you think that Trump wasn't responsible,
01:29:00.000 you know, help lower inflation.
01:29:01.000 But it's not just earning more money, it's also stuff costing you less.
01:29:06.000 Yeah. Right.
01:29:06.000 I wonder if we get World War III before November.
01:29:09.000 I feel like the Democrats would certainly prefer it.
01:29:12.000 They need anything.
01:29:15.000 It's mutually assured destruction though, don't you think?
01:29:17.000 Yeah, but I kind of feel like if you're facing prison when Donald Trump sends the DOJ into your state to start ripping through the corruption, you're going to sink the whole ship.
01:29:25.000 You think he will use the DOJ this time?
01:29:29.000 Uh, I'm hopeful.
01:29:31.000 I lean slightly towards I think it's more likely, especially with people like Kash Patel.
01:29:36.000 So, you know what I think Trump did in his first term was he tried to play ball.
01:29:40.000 I remember I was in D.C.
01:29:42.000 around this, uh, around his, you know, when he became the frontrunner for the Republicans.
01:29:46.000 He had this meeting and, you know, we're hanging out, me and some other journalists outside this building, like, oh, Trump's inside talking with the Republicans.
01:29:52.000 I bet he sat down and said, look, I'm gonna be the nominee.
01:29:56.000 We're gonna work together on this one.
01:29:57.000 Let me know what you need.
01:29:59.000 And I think what happens is Trump gets in thinking, I'm the president now, I can do things.
01:30:04.000 And the deep state slides the folder saying, here's what you're going to do.
01:30:08.000 And he goes, no, we can't do that's a bad idea.
01:30:10.000 And they're like, well, you have to.
01:30:11.000 And he says, no, look, I promised we'd get our troops out of the middle East.
01:30:13.000 We're getting our troops out of the middle East.
01:30:14.000 And they said, you cannot do that.
01:30:17.000 And he said, well, I'm the president.
01:30:18.000 So I will.
01:30:19.000 And then he leaves the meeting and the deep state goes, he's got to go.
01:30:23.000 And that was it.
01:30:24.000 Trump made the mistake of bringing on a bunch of people he should not have brought on because he thought he was playing ball.
01:30:29.000 And then they stabbed him in the back.
01:30:32.000 I think this time around, especially with these criminal trials, Trump may not be the guy people want him to be, this paladin with a hammer smashing the corruption.
01:30:43.000 But he'll likely bring on some better people.
01:30:46.000 Kash Patel, of course, we've talked to him and, you know, we'll see where he ends up.
01:30:50.000 But I think second time around, he's going to bring on people who just say it's time to clean this mess up.
01:30:56.000 I'm looking forward to it.
01:30:59.000 And then you got to clean up the local prosecutors too.
01:31:01.000 Yep, and that's on everybody else, you know?
01:31:06.000 So we've got to do our work in Berkeley County over in West Virginia because they allow child drag shows.
01:31:12.000 Jefferson County, West Virginia does not.
01:31:14.000 They outright banned it.
01:31:16.000 But my understanding is that the... What did they do?
01:31:21.000 They did something recently with...
01:31:24.000 They, Charlestown, West Virginia, which is, like, the nearest city to us.
01:31:28.000 One of them.
01:31:29.000 There's also Frederick.
01:31:30.000 They had some kind of, like, declaration of LGBT Pride Month or something.
01:31:35.000 And I'm like, in Jefferson County, Western Charlestown?
01:31:38.000 Like, what happened?
01:31:39.000 And I was talking to a guy who was a council member, and he said, yeah, the city council is dominated by Democrats.
01:31:43.000 And I'm like, how?
01:31:44.000 And he's like, conservatives don't vote.
01:31:47.000 I'm like, you have a conservative town in one of the most Trump-supporting states, second most Trump-supporting state in the country, where all of the Christians from a Latin mass went out, like a thousand people protesting, and they don't vote?
01:32:01.000 Yeah, they don't vote.
01:32:02.000 So the city council is dominated by woke far-leftists who do whatever they want, because the right does not organize, they do not vote.
01:32:09.000 So then you have Berkeley County where, right next to our building where we're setting up our Casper Coffee location, they had a drag show in the street with children on stage.
01:32:19.000 And I complained to government and they were like, we can't believe this is happening, but even though it is illegal in West Virginia, the prosecutor in Berkeley County doesn't care.
01:32:28.000 They allow it.
01:32:28.000 It is a violation of West Virginia law to do what they did, unquestionably.
01:32:33.000 Jefferson County passed an ordinance outright saying, like, yeah, you can't do that.
01:32:36.000 No child drag shows.
01:32:38.000 And then in Berkeley County, which is just west, they were just like, eh, we don't care.
01:32:43.000 Totally allowed.
01:32:44.000 But that means you have to be active on every level of government, right?
01:32:47.000 Like it's not enough to get the state legislature, you need to be in your local, you know, county, like everywhere.
01:32:53.000 And worse still, in Jefferson County, you've got woke far leftists running for school board, getting into these schools, and then bringing in gratuitous sex content to give to children.
01:33:06.000 And then the kids aren't telling their parents or don't know and the parents don't ask.
01:33:11.000 So you've got Weird pedo-cultists coming in to conservative areas and infiltrating schools, and the conservative parents have no idea.
01:33:22.000 And then one day, I hear from a parent, they're like, my kid came home and said that they were, you know, pan or something.
01:33:29.000 And it's like, your 10-year-old does not know what that means.
01:33:31.000 And they're like, we know.
01:33:32.000 But how is this getting into our schools?
01:33:34.000 And I'm like, are you going to your school board meetings?
01:33:36.000 And they're like, no.
01:33:38.000 There you go.
01:33:39.000 It's wild to me this idea that parents are like, I have a child.
01:33:43.000 Let's hand them off to the state!
01:33:44.000 I have no idea who these people are, but here you go!
01:33:48.000 Good luck, I guess.
01:33:49.000 These strangers have no political agenda.
01:33:51.000 They only want what's best for everyone.
01:33:53.000 Sure.
01:33:53.000 I was talking to a friend of ours.
01:33:55.000 Many of them don't even have kids.
01:33:56.000 No, a lot of them don't.
01:33:57.000 Many of them hate having kids.
01:34:00.000 And they don't want you to have kids.
01:34:01.000 So one of our friends has several kids and he's talking about his kids are now at school age and he's sending them to school, but he was like, it's kind of weird.
01:34:08.000 We don't know if we want to do it.
01:34:09.000 It's like this idea that Well, we've had you for six years, but now we're gonna hand you off and we're gonna see you only a third of the time or something.
01:34:17.000 That seems like a terrible idea.
01:34:19.000 I think they're homeschooling now.
01:34:21.000 Yeah, I mean, the thing is, homeschooling's not a joke.
01:34:24.000 It's a lot of work.
01:34:25.000 On the other hand, public schools, you really don't know, right?
01:34:29.000 Like maybe you might know if you live in a really small town, all the elementary school
01:34:33.000 teachers – if you're kids in a really tiny school.
01:34:36.000 But as they go through the system, the idea that you really know, have a social interaction
01:34:41.000 with, go to the same church, use the same grocery store as a teacher in your kid's
01:34:44.000 school becomes smaller and smaller.
01:34:46.000 They're strangers.
01:34:47.000 Paul Morgan We have our kids in a Catholic grade school and that's been the best thing that's happened because it's
01:34:51.000 kind of locked down.
01:34:52.000 You lock down with all the teachers.
01:34:53.000 You know who's going in.
01:34:54.000 You know who's going out.
01:34:56.000 And then some of our other friends, you know, they're at public schools, they have no clue
01:34:59.000 who's going in and out of these things.
01:35:01.000 So I'm not saying Catholic schools are the answer.
01:35:03.000 I'm just saying it's, you know, you try to do whatever you can to protect them.
01:35:07.000 Yeah.
01:35:07.000 I mean, the people who suffer the most are the people who don't have other options, right?
01:35:10.000 If you can't afford to enroll your kid in private school or you don't have the time or resources to homeschool, you're stuck.
01:35:15.000 You are obligated to send your kid to school.
01:35:17.000 So you have to trust that.
01:35:19.000 Somebody on your school board shares your values and it's just it's an awful situation I'm gonna I'm just gonna offend as many people as I can Superdude says Tim's talking mad ish for someone with no kids pilgrim says Tim most parents are busy at work and A few other people saying similar things.
01:35:35.000 Tim doesn't have kids.
01:35:36.000 But I will give a shout out to Keep Grinding saying, Tim would be a good father.
01:35:39.000 Thank you.
01:35:40.000 Look, man, I'm sorry.
01:35:41.000 I get it.
01:35:41.000 The system is broken.
01:35:42.000 You're not supposed to give your kids away.
01:35:44.000 That's never been how humans have raised their children.
01:35:46.000 Yes, I get you're at work.
01:35:47.000 That's not supposed to be what's happening.
01:35:49.000 We have to actively resist that.
01:35:51.000 Kids need to be around their parents and learn from their parents.
01:35:54.000 This is how humanity has survived for eons.
01:35:58.000 The children would learn from their parents.
01:36:01.000 The blacksmith father would, his son would watch him work, and then when his son was old enough, he'd say, hey, hand me that bag of bolts over there.
01:36:08.000 Bring them over here, son.
01:36:09.000 And then as the kid got older, he'd be like, let me show you how to do this thing and do that thing.
01:36:12.000 And the kid would grow up and be a master blacksmith.
01:36:15.000 And then the father would get old and say, son, I think it's time you took over the shop and started a family of your own.
01:36:20.000 And, or, started a family of his own well before he took over the shop.
01:36:23.000 But then, you know, then he'd have kids.
01:36:26.000 It has been for tens of thousands of years, children were raised by their parents.
01:36:32.000 And then at the turn of the century, in the 1900s, industrialization happened, and then all of a sudden it was like, now that you're going to a factory, your children will be taken from you and handed to the state!
01:36:42.000 And this is good.
01:36:43.000 Now we're in a society where it's the expectation and I have no choice.
01:36:48.000 I'm not saying it's easy, but you need to figure it out.
01:36:51.000 And the parents aren't anywhere near, the father-in-law isn't anywhere near, the mother-in-law isn't anywhere near.
01:36:56.000 That's a big component of it.
01:36:58.000 I mean, I have an amazing mother-in-law.
01:36:59.000 I mean, if I didn't have her, I mean, not only who would be these strangers who would help raise the kids, but I mean, what happened to that family nucleus?
01:37:06.000 And now everybody can live everywhere and you can get on airplanes and stuff.
01:37:09.000 It's like, I don't think we understand the damage that a lot of these benefits in our society have done.
01:37:14.000 No, I totally agree.
01:37:15.000 There are, I can't remember which country, but I think Eastern, a couple of Eastern European countries that offer tax credits or some kind of program.
01:37:21.000 To grandparents who will step in and, you know, offer childcare or whatever else.
01:37:25.000 So, you know, they could say, like, America says, oh, well, we'll cover preschool or we'll cover daycare.
01:37:30.000 But we don't say, well, you should be able to have your kids stay with, you know, an aunt who stay at home or a grandparent who has the time, is retired.
01:37:37.000 Like, instead of encouraging families to stay together, it's like, we'll just separate more.
01:37:42.000 get involved in the public education system even sooner, right?
01:37:46.000 That's a terrible idea.
01:37:47.000 That's not my values.
01:37:48.000 I think ultimately we want families to pull together and to be there for each other, no matter what that looks like.
01:37:52.000 Well, speaking in very general terms, it's the millennial generation that has all these hang-ups about, you know, not having kids for the most part.
01:37:58.000 And that's because we were raised by the most entitled generation that's ever existed, the boomers.
01:38:03.000 I mean, and this is a trend that I see a lot.
01:38:06.000 Boomers, they don't have that sense of being a grandparent.
01:38:10.000 I'm not talking about all boomers, obviously.
01:38:11.000 There's going to be plenty of outliers.
01:38:13.000 I hope everybody that's listening, their boomer parents are great.
01:38:16.000 Great grandparents.
01:38:16.000 You're afraid the boomers are going to come after you?
01:38:18.000 Boomers made Star Trek The Next Generation, so.
01:38:21.000 They contributed.
01:38:22.000 They contributed.
01:38:23.000 But, you know, the fact is, is that boomers, they are the most entitled generation.
01:38:28.000 They do not want to be there for their grandkids on a scale that most people... I mean, this is like a meme at this point.
01:38:33.000 And when you have that breakup from the grandparents, it impacts their kids and impacts their grandkids.
01:38:40.000 And it's unfortunate, but that's how it is for a lot of people, I'm afraid.
01:38:44.000 We're gonna go to Super Chat!

01:39:00.000 And I'll also add, you may have seen the news, we're being sued!
01:39:03.000 So that's gonna, uh, cost money.
01:39:05.000 Speaking of lawfare is warfare.
01:39:07.000 Oh yeah, yeah.
01:39:07.000 So if you want to support us, uh, as we defend ourselves, just, you know, you become a member and, uh, YouTube, of course, has been crashing, as many people have been pointing out.
01:39:17.000 Chat crashed and then reignited, so not much we can do there, but let's read your superchats.
01:39:22.000 Clint Torres says, howdy people!
01:39:24.000 Howdy Clint!
01:39:25.000 Always with the first superchat.
01:39:29.000 Matthew Evans says, can Bill talk about what he is doing in St.
01:39:31.000 Louis?
01:39:32.000 Are you doing something in St.
01:39:33.000 Yeah, we went into some of the worst areas for crime and we went and demolished a bunch of homes.
01:39:33.000 Louis?
01:39:39.000 I don't know if you saw that.
01:39:40.000 Homes meaning decrepit homes, abandoned homes, cleaned up the neighborhoods, got it to look beautiful again.
01:39:46.000 So going into inner city neighborhoods in America and cleaning them up.
01:39:50.000 Right on.
01:39:51.000 I actually did that with, of all people, believe it or not, Jack Dorsey.
01:39:54.000 Wow.
01:39:55.000 I know that was kind of crazy to think, talk about two different people.
01:39:58.000 Yeah.
01:39:58.000 Even me, but he funded it.
01:40:00.000 So that was very nice of him.
01:40:01.000 Cool.
01:40:02.000 Normies get out, uh, 49 months a member.
01:40:05.000 Wow.
01:40:06.000 Is that for real?
01:40:07.000 I didn't even know that was possible.
01:40:08.000 How long have we been doing this show for?
01:40:10.000 He says it's all so tiresome.
01:40:12.000 Often it is.
01:40:13.000 It is.
01:40:14.000 Mad Max says, Piers Morgan believes Trump going to Barron's graduation and going to jail for it would guarantee a landslide victory in November.
01:40:21.000 A lot of people have said that to me.
01:40:23.000 I was talking to one guy earlier, and I said, I don't know that Trump going to jail will get him a victory.
01:40:28.000 And this is an apolitical guy.
01:40:29.000 He's like, I don't know.
01:40:29.000 I feel like if they arrested Trump for that, he'd just win.
01:40:32.000 And I was like, really?
01:40:33.000 You think so?
01:40:34.000 It's like, I don't know that it guarantees it.
01:40:36.000 I don't.
01:40:39.000 All right.
01:40:40.000 Zoronis says, new conspiracy theory.
01:40:42.000 After losing the American Civil War, Democrats swore they would destroy America even if it took them 150 years or more to do so.
01:40:48.000 Yeah.
01:40:51.000 Jay Kesey says, Tim wore a different shirt.
01:40:54.000 Yeah, it's a shirt that Pulte gave me.
01:40:57.000 Thank you.
01:40:57.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:40:58.000 It's got X philanthropy on it right there.
01:41:00.000 You can see.
01:41:01.000 I knew this would be a sign of end times for some people.
01:41:04.000 Tim, Tim changes his his outfit.
01:41:07.000 That doesn't happen often.
01:41:08.000 No, he's pretty consistent when he wears, but you picked his favorite color, I think, or at least for clothing black.
01:41:13.000 Yeah.
01:41:14.000 So for the people in the chat that are saying we lost viewers, we didn't actually lose the viewers.
01:41:20.000 The chat and the view count is broken on YouTube.
01:41:23.000 And this, this happens periodically, but I would not be surprised if YouTube is actively screwing with us as, you know, yeah, probably, you know, it is what it is throughout the show.
01:41:35.000 Hey, it's an election year.
01:41:37.000 It's going to be fun.
01:41:39.000 So, uh, make sure you share the show with your friends and become a member at timcast.com.
01:41:44.000 Let's go.
01:41:45.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:41:46.000 says, seriously, Bloodbath is one of the best nicknames.
01:41:50.000 Chris Bloodbath car.
01:41:52.000 He had it first.
01:41:53.000 Donald Trump's car.
01:41:54.000 You started this nonsense.
01:41:55.000 What are you talking about?
01:41:56.000 That was always your nickname.
01:41:58.000 Oh, of course.
01:41:58.000 Of course.
01:41:58.000 Yeah.
01:41:59.000 Nicholas says, how much did Trump pay you to push Truth Social stock?
01:42:02.000 It's failing miserably.
01:42:04.000 I got to be honest.
01:42:04.000 I was actually surprised by that.
01:42:06.000 And the reason was I did not think anyone actually bought the stock thinking the company made sense.
01:42:12.000 So when the stock was being purchased, it seemed to me that Trump supporters were just buying it.
01:42:16.000 So I have around 10 or so shares.
01:42:19.000 That's right, 10.
01:42:21.000 Because they're like collectibles.
01:42:22.000 I was like, ooh, I'd like to have some.
01:42:24.000 I did not invest any kind of substantive, but I was surprised.
01:42:28.000 I didn't think that would happen.
01:42:29.000 I thought that Trump supporters were basically just buying it up because they liked Trump.
01:42:35.000 As it turns out, I was wrong, and it was actually investors who were buying Trump Truth Social stock, which surprised me because I... I agreed with the Krasensteins when they said, does anyone really think that this company is worth this?
01:42:49.000 And I'm like, yeah, the people who are buying it are just Trump fans.
01:42:51.000 I agree.
01:42:52.000 But then, no, it turns out the Krasensteins and I were both wrong.
01:42:56.000 Actual investors bought stock and then dumped it.
01:42:58.000 Wow.
01:42:59.000 That surprised the heck out of me.
01:43:00.000 What more can I say?
01:43:04.000 Oh, let's grab some more Super Chatsio.
01:43:07.000 Mega Mikey says, do we have any updates regarding the whistleblower that exposed NPR's woke takeover in the New York Post article?
01:43:14.000 It was the Free Press article, actually.
01:43:15.000 I heard NPR just suspended the whistleblower today.
01:43:17.000 That is correct.
01:43:18.000 I believe they fired him, right?
01:43:20.000 Suspended for five days, as of our reporting.
01:43:22.000 That's what I read.
01:43:23.000 Oh, that's it?
01:43:23.000 Yeah.
01:43:24.000 We'll slap on the rest.
01:43:25.000 Yeah.
01:43:26.000 And they said that it was because he published in another outlet without clearing it through them.
01:43:32.000 Right.
01:43:32.000 That's what they said.
01:43:34.000 They didn't deny any of his claims.
01:43:35.000 They're like, it's true.
01:43:37.000 We are pretty far gone.
01:43:38.000 But anyways.
01:43:39.000 It's funny that the woman who runs it, she was like, why are people calling me a Biden supporter?
01:43:43.000 And there's a picture of her wearing a Biden hat.
01:43:45.000 Biden hat and a mask.
01:43:47.000 Yeah.
01:43:47.000 It's like you can't prove anything.
01:43:49.000 And then the prosecutor who's been arguing at the Supreme Court is like, look, it's true.
01:43:53.000 We don't know.
01:43:55.000 X Tin Man says you should get together with a local brewery and make an Appalachian Nights coffee stout.
01:44:01.000 Yes, we could.
01:44:02.000 Yeah, we talked with one brewery about having our own brew.
01:44:06.000 It's just, I don't know, it's not a huge priority for us.
01:44:11.000 The one thing that we did want to do is cast brew cold brew cans, but we're not there yet.
01:44:17.000 We're not there yet.
01:44:17.000 We'll get there.
01:44:18.000 We'll get there.
01:44:19.000 Flying Dog Brewery, which I think is in Maryland, used to use Black Dog Coffee, which is local, for their coffee, which I always think is cool.
01:44:26.000 It's cool to see those kind of local collaborations.
01:44:28.000 Right on.
01:44:29.000 Nada Doc says, first Ryan Cohen with Javier Mele.
01:44:32.000 And now this!
01:44:33.000 Small world.
01:44:34.000 Big wins.
01:44:35.000 Diamond hands.
01:44:36.000 Now I just need Phil on unsubscribed podcast.
01:44:40.000 Well, there you go.
01:44:43.000 What do we got here?
01:44:43.000 Jimbo says, Pulte 2024.
01:44:46.000 And then he says, what is this?
01:44:48.000 Jimbo0341 for that 1000?
01:44:49.000 Are you going to run for office?
01:44:54.000 We'll see.
01:44:54.000 That was a long pause.
01:44:55.000 He's gotta run.
01:44:57.000 Yep.
01:44:58.000 Paul Tascalo says the New York court can issue a bench warrant to Trump which compels him to be present in the New York courtroom.
01:45:05.000 It wouldn't send him to jail.
01:45:06.000 And what happens if he defies that bench warrant and says no?
01:45:10.000 Can he Skype in?
01:45:11.000 Like, could he Zoom into this?
01:45:12.000 Or does he have to physically be there?
01:45:13.000 I think he has to physically be there.
01:45:15.000 That seems very rude.
01:45:17.000 He should be able to, like, Skype call in from Barron's graduation.
01:45:21.000 Yeah, it's a punishment.
01:45:22.000 JustPoliticalBS says, any attempt by New York City to arrest Trump or take his property while his Secret Service is flawed, anywhere his Secret Service is automatically designated federal ground superseding any local, they would be outside their purview.
01:45:40.000 Rob says, Tim, what's your take on Agenda 2025?
01:45:42.000 I see a lot of leftists ranting and raving about it.
01:45:45.000 No, what is that?
01:45:45.000 What is... What is that?
01:45:47.000 I'm not a leftist, so I don't really know.
01:45:49.000 It's essentially a very long document that was put together by a bunch of policy makers that are saying that this policy is going to be Trump's policy moving forward.
01:45:59.000 It's very long.
01:45:59.000 I mean, it's basically from a conservative think tank, from a brief glance at it.
01:46:04.000 It's very long, a lot of pages, and they're claiming that basically Trump is going to make the most far right-wing policies that they could possibly imagine.
01:46:14.000 And Trump has not said, yes, this is the plan.
01:46:16.000 I can't think of a moment when he's referenced this thing that the people on TikTok are, you know, they're crying.
01:46:24.000 But I did look into it and I did look over the document.
01:46:26.000 I mean, it's just, it's from a think tank, basically.
01:46:29.000 Do you think it's like more radical and people are surprised?
01:46:32.000 Or is it just like kind of whipping outrage?
01:46:35.000 I think it's whipping outrage.
01:46:36.000 From what I saw, it was pretty, I mean, moderate conservative at the best.
01:46:40.000 Like it didn't have anything alarming in it that I saw.
01:46:43.000 So don't worry, leftist.
01:46:45.000 Chris Carr, executive editor, says it's fine.
01:46:47.000 Bloodbath.
01:46:48.000 Bloodbath.
01:46:48.000 Bloodbath Carr.
01:46:49.000 I apologize.
01:46:49.000 I'm not going to use your correct pronouns.
01:46:53.000 KingApoleonX says, Hey Tim, I don't think cops can actually justify arresting Trump because I need to support my family.
01:46:59.000 If cops were fired, they could easily get donations from Trump supporters to support themselves.
01:47:04.000 That's true for every single cop who ever did something wrong, and for some reason they don't do it.
01:47:08.000 Like, the cops who arrested Daniel Penney, and the cops who escorted him to and from court, the cops who arrested the Proud Boys, any one of them could have said, I refuse!
01:47:19.000 But they don't.
01:47:20.000 Because they don't care.
01:47:22.000 It's a fascinating thing to me is that people assume cops are conservatives and it's like they've never actually gone to New York City and talked to a cop because they're all just like middle-of-the-road, moderate, Democrat-leaning people because they live in New York City.
01:47:34.000 Doesn't matter if they're cops or not.
01:47:36.000 They don't know or care.
01:47:38.000 They just want to go home and watch the game.
01:47:41.000 Alright.
01:47:43.000 Jake Swift says, my girlfriend is in law school and said that most judges are previous prosecutors and DAs, which makes no sense.
01:47:50.000 Innocent until proven guilty.
01:47:51.000 We need more defense judges.
01:47:53.000 Where is true justice?
01:47:54.000 Yup, and the DAs and the judges know each other!
01:47:58.000 And they've worked together.
01:48:00.000 So what are you gonna do?
01:48:02.000 It's a flawed system, I guess.
01:48:03.000 It's better than a lot of systems, but it's breaking apart.
01:48:05.000 Jacob Hawley says the United States must not adopt the tactics of the enemy.
01:48:09.000 Means are important as ends.
01:48:11.000 Crisis makes it tempting to ignore the wise restraints that make men free.
01:48:16.000 Agreed.
01:48:19.000 Yes, the ends do not justify the means, because you will never meet the ends.
01:48:23.000 Or, yeah, right.
01:48:26.000 The idea being that these communist revolutionaries are all like, well, if we execute all these people, then we'll get our revolution, and then we'll get our beautiful country.
01:48:35.000 And then once they take over, they say, we are still fighting to maintain the country.
01:48:39.000 There is no end.
01:48:41.000 There's no point at which you're like, hey, we're done.
01:48:43.000 And then you sit down and just stare at your abundance of food and never have to work again.
01:48:49.000 Life is a treadmill and you are going to be running on it forever until you die.
01:48:52.000 And then your kids will run on it.
01:48:53.000 And there you go.
01:48:56.000 OMG Puppy says the cops didn't arrest the Proud Boys.
01:48:58.000 De Blasio's DA reopened the case weeks later to get them.
01:49:01.000 And who do you think got them?
01:49:03.000 And who do you think brought them in?
01:49:04.000 And who do you think held them in cages?
01:49:06.000 The D.A.
01:49:07.000 did it all!
01:49:08.000 The D.A.
01:49:08.000 showed up in a suit with leather gloves and was like, the police have refused, so I'm taking you in, Proud Boys.
01:49:14.000 Yeah, no, the Proud Boys went to the police, told the police everything.
01:49:17.000 If the Proud Boys did not talk to the cops, they wouldn't have got arrested.
01:49:21.000 The D.A.
01:49:21.000 would have said, who were those guys?
01:49:22.000 And the cops would have said, we have no idea.
01:49:24.000 The cops cooperated every step of the way, told the D.A.
01:49:26.000 everything he wanted to know so that he could hunt these people down and put them in prison.
01:49:30.000 That's not a hard concept, is it?
01:49:34.000 Let's go.
01:49:37.000 James Eaton says the courts are corrupt.
01:49:39.000 Why follow the law?
01:49:40.000 No, no, no, no.
01:49:41.000 I respect following the law within reason.
01:49:44.000 Just because it is law doesn't mean it's good.
01:49:46.000 What the Nazis were doing was law and it was not good.
01:49:48.000 However, the issue right now is that they're not following the law.
01:49:53.000 The charges against Trump are not legal.
01:49:56.000 They made it up!
01:49:57.000 They just made it up.
01:49:58.000 And they do that in New York during Occupy Wall Street.
01:50:01.000 It was really funny because the cops would point at the ground and go, that's frozen.
01:50:06.000 You can't stand there.
01:50:07.000 That's what they would do.
01:50:07.000 They would call them frozen zones.
01:50:09.000 A made up concept that didn't exist legally anywhere.
01:50:12.000 And the police would just be like, we hereby have frozen this block.
01:50:15.000 It's like, what does that mean?
01:50:16.000 It's a frozen zone.
01:50:17.000 You can't stand there.
01:50:18.000 That's not a thing.
01:50:19.000 And they would do that.
01:50:20.000 You'd be standing next to someone and be like, you're in a frozen zone, so you have to move.
01:50:24.000 You'd be like, what?
01:50:24.000 They'd be like, we'll arrest you if you don't.
01:50:26.000 They shut down portions of the city during Occupy, and you could only get through if you had proof, you had business, or some reason to be on those blocks.
01:50:35.000 Which is crazy!
01:50:36.000 Because I knew this guy who lived near the park, and the cops would block the street, and if I went to my friend's house, they'd be like, no you're not.
01:50:45.000 You gotta show us an ID, or a piece of mail, or something proving.
01:50:48.000 Get your friend to have him come pick you up.
01:50:49.000 And I'm like, that's insane.
01:50:51.000 This is a public street, I'm just trying to walk over to that building.
01:50:54.000 In your mind, what happened to Occupy Wall Street?
01:50:56.000 I got taken over by activist organizations because I do blame partly, you know, to like a certain degree I blame Steve Bannon.
01:51:06.000 Not like directly, but a lot of these like populist right-wing and Tea Party people.
01:51:12.000 Fell for Fox News and Fox News gleefully smeared Occupy.
01:51:17.000 When I was at Occupy Wall Street when I was first there, it was Libertarian, Conservative, Democrat.
01:51:21.000 It was just left-right populist.
01:51:22.000 Everybody was mad at Big Banks.
01:51:24.000 Everybody was mad at Obama.
01:51:25.000 And then Hannity and other Fox News personalities go on TV and they say, It's a bunch of lefties!
01:51:32.000 It's left, left, left!
01:51:33.000 They're bad!
01:51:34.000 And so then what happens is, after the first weekend when the conservatives who were there decided to go to work, leftist NGOs, paid staff, showed up and said, we're going to start organizing now.
01:51:46.000 And people like, you know, Bannon and the Breitbart crew were like, screw those hippie lefties, we're not getting involved in that.
01:51:52.000 I told Ben in this, I said if you had shown up the first weekend to occupy Wall Street, they would have been clapping and cheering for you the whole time.
01:51:58.000 It would have kept the conservatives and libertarians there, it would have created a united populist front.
01:52:02.000 Instead, what was born out of anger over the banking bailouts was taken over by NGO activists Who began pushing critical race theory and intersectionality, and it pushed out everybody else.
01:52:17.000 I knew one guy who was an anarchist.
01:52:19.000 He wasn't like a left... He was just an anarchist.
01:52:20.000 Just, you know, hate no government.
01:52:23.000 And, uh, it was so fascinating.
01:52:25.000 They had something called the General Assembly.
01:52:27.000 Everybody would gather around, and they would try to buy things with donations, and it was direct democracy.
01:52:33.000 Everybody would either agree with twinkle fingers, and this is what happens when conservatives don't show up.
01:52:38.000 The far-left activists turn it into a twinkle finger party.
01:52:42.000 And the people who controlled the money didn't like how things were going because it was very hard to spend things.
01:52:48.000 The example I love is When it would rain, the clothing and the supplies would get destroyed.
01:52:54.000 So someone said, we need plastic bins to store them in.
01:52:57.000 So they go to a General Assembly meeting and someone says, I propose we buy bins to store our blankets and clothes and extra stuff in so the rain doesn't destroy them.
01:53:05.000 All in favor?
01:53:06.000 Everybody wiggles their fingers.
01:53:08.000 A few people put up what's called a block.
01:53:09.000 Hard block must be adjudicated.
01:53:12.000 And someone said, plastic destroys the environment.
01:53:12.000 What is the block for?
01:53:15.000 We cannot do that.
01:53:16.000 And then they debated it.
01:53:18.000 And someone said, okay, what if it's recycled?
01:53:20.000 It's okay.
01:53:20.000 Well, if you're recycling, that's good, I guess.
01:53:22.000 Right.
01:53:22.000 It already exists, so we'll buy recycled used.
01:53:25.000 Agreed.
01:53:25.000 Okay.
01:53:26.000 And then someone raised block.
01:53:28.000 What is it now?
01:53:29.000 Yes, but did it originate fair trade?
01:53:32.000 Was this product made by exploitation?
01:53:34.000 Because if it is, it should be destroyed.
01:53:36.000 Okay.
01:53:37.000 So we will buy bins that are recycled and fair trade.
01:53:40.000 Well, that's impossible.
01:53:41.000 You can't find them.
01:53:42.000 So what did they do?
01:53:43.000 They went to Walmart and bought bins.
01:53:45.000 They ignored the will of the people.
01:53:47.000 So they tried creating something called the Spokes Council that would segment everything into a few delegates from different pockets.
01:53:55.000 So if you worked in the sanitation team, you'd send one representative to the Spokes Council to speak on your behalf.
01:54:01.000 The only problem with that is that instead of making the vote based on the work you did, like computers or sanitation or food, they added race and gender.
01:54:11.000 So they made the black, the Mexican, the Asian.
01:54:14.000 There was no white group.
01:54:15.000 Then they made the Women's Caucus, but then there were problems because some women didn't want trans people in the Women's Caucus.
01:54:21.000 So they created two Women's Caucuses, the women's with no trans and the women's trans.
01:54:26.000 And then people were- The TERF.
01:54:28.000 Well, they didn't call them a TERF group, but then what ended up happening was you had these groups all voting on how to spend money based on their race or gender, which clearly doesn't make sense.
01:54:41.000 I think the best way to explain it is there's this comic where this rich guy says, send in identity politics.
01:54:49.000 It's like a bunch of people with protest signs outside of a building.
01:54:52.000 And then he's on the phone and he says, introduce them to identity politics.
01:54:55.000 And that was it.
01:54:56.000 All of these people were complaining about how our taxes were being ripped off.
01:54:59.000 And it's funny to me how how easily the conservatives were played like fiddles by Fox News.
01:55:08.000 So the Occupy had, I am the 99% and then you got this rebuttal from the right, I am the 47%.
01:55:14.000 The fascinating thing is I met Luke Radkowski at Occupy Wall Street.
01:55:18.000 He's a libertarian.
01:55:18.000 He's an anarchist.
01:55:20.000 And so you have an eclectic bunch of people of varying political ideologies angry at the federal government for stealing taxpayer dollars and the people who watch Fox News marched in lockstep to denounce it instead of joining in.
01:55:32.000 And if they did, they probably would have won.
01:55:33.000 It probably would have been massive political change enough people in this country.
01:55:37.000 But instead, the likes of Breitbart the Tea Party ignored and insulted it.
01:55:41.000 Hannity made fun of them every single day.
01:55:44.000 You know, the funny thing is, when the networks brought people on to talk about it, they made sure only far leftists were brought in to speak about what Occupy was.
01:55:55.000 So instead of getting the 65-year-old guy waving the American flag, they brought in the 23-year-old college student to say, I deserve free stuff!
01:56:03.000 And Fox News would do that.
01:56:04.000 Imagine what would happen if Fox News brought on a 65-year-old guy with white hair and sunglasses with an American flag being, Barack Obama ripped us off, bailed out these banks, and it's his fault.
01:56:15.000 That would have been a very different narrative for Occupy Wall Street.
01:56:18.000 But, I don't know.
01:56:20.000 Fox probably wanted the ratings.
01:56:22.000 I don't like Fox News as it is.
01:56:25.000 We'll read some more Super Chats here.
01:56:27.000 Delaware X says... Fascinating.
01:56:28.000 I mean, that's not something that's very talked about.
01:56:31.000 What happened with Occupy Wall Street?
01:56:33.000 Oh, what I love so much about it is that the history of Occupy is all fake.
01:56:38.000 Because the people who wrote books about it romanticize and lie to push their narrative, and it's just absolutely fascinating.
01:56:44.000 I mean, it was abject corruption at Occupy the entire time.
01:56:47.000 There were people who lived in the park as part of the protest who had buckets and were raising money.
01:56:54.000 The NGOs and the Brooklyn College students who didn't live in the park put out messages and flyers saying, do not give these people money, they're not Occupy Wall Street, because they wanted to control the flow of money.
01:57:06.000 So when people online raised donations, which who controls Occupy?
01:57:10.000 Nobody does.
01:57:11.000 It was a week, people sleeping in a park, and there were various people raising money for various things they wanted to buy.
01:57:17.000 One group online was like, we're gonna buy stuff.
01:57:19.000 And so they started telling everyone, that's a scam.
01:57:22.000 That's not us.
01:57:23.000 It's a scam.
01:57:23.000 We're in charge.
01:57:25.000 And then I'm talking, I'm like, you're not in charge.
01:57:26.000 You're just some random dude who's asking for money.
01:57:28.000 They're asking for money too.
01:57:30.000 They put up signs saying, do not give.
01:57:32.000 If anyone asks you for money, don't give it to them.
01:57:33.000 Only give it to us.
01:57:34.000 It was just super corrupt.
01:57:36.000 It got to the point where The people who lived in the park, they called themselves the General Union, and they opposed the General Assembly.
01:57:44.000 And then when the General Union, which was the west side of the park, wanted to have a meeting...
01:57:49.000 NGO staffers sent guys to threaten violence against them.
01:57:54.000 And one of the dudes started crying.
01:57:56.000 It was wild.
01:57:57.000 And so I met these guys because I was filming and they were like, hey, we're going to have a meeting because they're telling everybody that we're scammers and we actually sleep in the park.
01:58:04.000 They don't.
01:58:04.000 They're like rich college kids and trust fund kids and like people who work for nonprofits.
01:58:09.000 And I'm like, cool, I'll film it.
01:58:11.000 And when they had the meeting, quote unquote facilitators, they called themselves, showed up and they do their cult thing.
01:58:17.000 It's so brilliant how they've mind warped people.
01:58:20.000 When someone said, we're here to have a meeting about... spending.
01:58:24.000 Facilitators walked up and went, mic check!
01:58:26.000 Everyone yells mic check.
01:58:28.000 When any time anyone who opposed them tried to speak, they would yell mic check and everyone would just repeat it, shutting down the conversation.
01:58:34.000 Because it's a cult.
01:58:35.000 That's what they do.
01:58:37.000 Yeah, Occupy was wild.
01:58:38.000 And then they go, two pools live, it never happened!
01:58:40.000 Actually, The Daily Show did a segment about this, where they talked about the divide from the East and the West, the rich and the poor.
01:58:46.000 So, the people who organized Occupy have a vested interest in lying and pretending these things work to advance their political ideology when they don't actually work.
01:58:53.000 Alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats.
01:58:58.000 Triton 54 says if Trump fails to attend the SCOTUS hearing, it will communicate he'd rather complain about corruption rather than challenge it.
01:59:06.000 Second term will be the same as the first.
01:59:08.000 He'll lose my vote.
01:59:10.000 Yeah, I wonder.
01:59:12.000 I feel that for sure.
01:59:13.000 If Trump is unwilling to go to the Supreme Court to defend the presidency and this country, and instead he goes, well, the judge told me he'll put me in jail, that says to me that Trump fears jail more than the collapse of this country.
01:59:28.000 That's why I'm like, Trump has to go to the Supreme Court.
01:59:31.000 He has no choice.
01:59:32.000 This is a question of the president's authority in their official duties.
01:59:39.000 And this judge is saying, I'll hold you in contempt, you'll go to jail for 30 days.
01:59:42.000 So what's scary to Trump?
01:59:44.000 The end of the executive branch and the fabric of this nation?
01:59:49.000 Or 30 days in jail?
01:59:51.000 If Trump skips SCOTUS, it shows that he's worried more about his personal comfort than he is about this country.
01:59:57.000 It's a tough position, I suppose.
01:59:58.000 I don't know what else to tell you.
02:00:01.000 Alright, let's just grab a couple more.
02:00:05.000 Eldritchinator says, hey Tim, they're 2020 electioning your views.
02:00:09.000 They are!
02:00:10.000 But notice the rate of chat.
02:00:13.000 It's not an easy verb, 2020 election.
02:00:17.000 Yeah, but also just so you guys know, like, this thing with view count happens, yeah, a couple times a year.
02:00:22.000 Like, the chat crashed and then YouTube has problems.
02:00:27.000 So it is what it is.
02:00:28.000 We can see in the back end that everything's remained actually fairly normal.
02:00:32.000 While it's displaying 488 viewers right now, I can see on the back end that we're probably at like, I don't know, 35,000.
02:00:39.000 We were at like 38 at the peak of the show.
02:00:43.000 I'm not super worried about YouTube.
02:00:46.000 Oh, look at this.
02:00:47.000 Amtra says, YouTube is being hacked.
02:00:48.000 Down detector listing 10,000 issues.
02:00:50.000 Interesting.
02:00:52.000 Drew Badly says, YouTube pushed an update a couple hours ago and they broke it for peak evening hours.
02:00:56.000 Intentional or not, big L move.
02:00:58.000 This happens all the time.
02:01:00.000 That's YouTube, man.
02:01:01.000 Oh, look at this.
02:01:01.000 Someone said they were unsubscribed by force.
02:01:03.000 What's likely happening is that YouTube broke.
02:01:07.000 They do this.
02:01:08.000 Like I said, it happens a couple times a year.
02:01:10.000 And then you'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be like you won't even notice.
02:01:13.000 But I wouldn't be surprised if it's a political move too.
02:01:16.000 Like the idea is shake some subscribers off by force.
02:01:22.000 And then people will just, you know, casual viewers will stop getting the notifications and stop watching.
02:01:28.000 I'm not super worried about it, though.

02:02:39.000 Like, Moist Critical and stuff are having the same problem right now, so it's definitely- It's an update.
02:02:43.000 I also want to stress this, so, uh, we have a 30-second commercial where it's just me saying, hey, if you want to watch a show on culture, news, and politics, Monday through Friday, live, 8pm, subscribe to TimCastIRL.
02:02:52.000 They called it an election ad.
02:02:53.000 It is not.
02:02:55.000 So I challenged it.
02:02:57.000 It gets denied.
02:02:58.000 So I create a new ad and I'm like, let's try again.
02:03:00.000 They call it an election ad.
02:03:01.000 I challenge it.
02:03:02.000 It gets denied.
02:03:03.000 I escalate it to a human and they say, this is strange.
02:03:05.000 We've reviewed your commercial.
02:03:06.000 It is not an election ad.
02:03:09.000 Give us a second.
02:03:10.000 A few minutes later, they come back to the chat and they're like, okay, we're going to have to get back to you on this one.
02:03:14.000 I'm like, how very weird.
02:03:17.000 And then they eventually emailed me finally today saying, we're so sorry we've approved the ad.
02:03:24.000 It's literally just 30 seconds of me being like, watch Tim Cast IRL, Monday through Friday, you know, 8pm, subscribe, click here.
02:03:31.000 That's all it is.
02:03:33.000 A lot of people mention that they get unsubscribed from the channel.
02:03:36.000 This is true.
02:03:37.000 More so than most other channels.
02:03:39.000 And you'll notice this is evidenced by, take a look at the viewer count that we get for the live show and the live episodes, compared to other podcasts and subscriber count, and then you can see it clearly in the chat.
02:03:52.000 I know they do this.
02:03:53.000 I think the strategy they have is unsubscribe as many people as possible from the channel so that casual viewers drop off and stop watching.
02:04:01.000 The only problem is our audience is a dedicated audience that shares and watches the show all the time.
02:04:07.000 And that's why we have so many messages and emails from people being like, I've been forced unscribed again for like the fifth time because People have chosen to watch the show.
02:04:16.000 So it really must grind the gears of people at YouTube that whatever they've done in their system that inhibits us isn't as effective as the show is just good.
02:04:25.000 Now that being said, the reason why I bought the commercial is we don't really do marketing and never did.
02:04:30.000 It's always been organic growth.
02:04:32.000 And I've talked with other industry people in media and they're like, if you did basic marketing on top of the fact that your show grew organically this fast, you'd probably be one of the biggest shows outside of YouTube, as well as YouTube.
02:04:44.000 And I was like, okay, well, we'll try something.
02:04:45.000 I don't know.
02:04:46.000 I don't, you know, I don't know.
02:04:47.000 I'm not super concerned about it, but let's see what we can do.
02:04:49.000 Um, all right, everybody, we're going to go to the members only show.
02:04:52.000 So go to timcast.com.
