A judge dismisses all charges against 140 illegal immigrants accused of attacking the National Guard in response to a raid on a border patrol station. Plus, the latest on the Trump trial and the growing number of anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.
00:00:12.000you so we all remember that story where a wave of criminal
00:00:44.000aliens attacked the National Guard to storm their way into the United States
00:00:50.000The judge has now dismissed the riot charges against all 140 illegal immigrants, saying there's no real probable cause to charge these people with a crime.
00:00:59.000And if you want to bring a charge, you're going to have to prove that to a grand jury.
00:01:03.000So it just seems like there's no border, I suppose.
00:01:06.000These people are literally on camera attacking National Guard and they said there's no probable cause to justify this.
00:01:12.000I suppose the argument is, well, how do we know?
00:01:16.000I suppose the issue is, if they are illegal immigrants, why are we pausing, questioning whether or not they committed a secondary crime when they're already illegally entering the country and should be deported?
00:01:27.000But that's what's happening, so we'll talk about all that.
00:01:29.000Plus, we've got news for the Trump trial.

00:05:02.000You'll get to watch a behind-the-scenes podcast with myself and my team, where we discuss how we're able to create these cartoons so quickly.
00:05:26.000All right, well, here's the first story.
00:05:28.000We've got this one from the Post Millennial.
00:05:30.000Judge dismisses riot charges against 140 illegal immigrants accused of rushing the border in El Paso.
00:05:37.000Quote, I don't believe there is probable cause for these individuals to continue to be detained for the offense of riot participation.
00:05:44.000Which basically means they're being released as well.
00:05:48.000On Monday, a judge in El Paso, Texas dismissed the cases of 140 illegal immigrants charged in connection with a border riot that took place when the illegal immigrants stormed border patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:05:59.000All 140 still face federal charges stemming from their illegal entry into the country.
00:06:05.000Though most illegal immigrants are given a court date some years into the future and released into the domestic U.S., the Biden administration often offers free flights for these individuals to cities and states across the country.
00:06:16.000Now I suppose the argument is, how do you know this particular individual rioted?
00:06:23.000And that's the argument that happened in DC in 2017 when the far left rioted during Trump's inauguration.
00:06:31.000They asked the police, how do you know that individual right there was part of that group?
00:06:35.000And they were like, well, we arrested him in the group.
00:06:36.000And they're like, but you don't know what they did.
00:06:38.000It must be just a humble man wearing a black hoodie and a mask and black jeans.
00:06:44.000And it was a coincidence they were there.
00:06:46.000So the police tried getting them on, and the DA tried going after them for conspiracy.
00:06:50.000And the courts ultimately ruled, you can't charge an individual for the actions of an amorphous mass.
00:07:21.000We don't even charge them for entering the country illegally, let alone rioting at the border.
00:07:25.000We wouldn't charge them for anything because this is how the Biden administration handles illegal immigration into this country, despite the fact that it costs the average American worker tens of thousands of dollars.
00:07:34.000I mean, it's such a slap in the face of the average American to see this come up.
00:07:38.000Not just the workers, but you look at the crime that they end up causing.
00:07:41.000You look at lives that are taken unnecessarily because people who were told not to enter here and disrespected our country's laws every step along the way are allowed to stay.
00:08:59.000They're Walmart shoppers who are masked because they don't want to get any sort of infections.
00:09:03.000Well, you know, the reality is they are.
00:09:06.000One of the interviews during the migrant caravan a few years ago, the LA Times asked one of the migrants in the caravan why they were coming and he says, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.
00:09:17.000And I was just like, there's Buffalo Wild Wings in Mexico City.
00:09:20.000Sounds like he's seeking asylum to me.
00:10:20.0007 million is the compromise number, and it's not good.
00:10:23.000Yeah, the idea that that is not an outrageous number, that the government just sits there and says, well, I mean, it's what happened, and it's not our fault, even though they got into office and repealed all of the, or, you know, got rid of all the executive orders that the previous administration had just because Because it was the previous administration and not Donald Trump was enough reason.
00:12:07.000Well, I mean, look, one of the issues that Trump campaigned on most successfully last time he ran, or I should say the first time he ran when he actually won, was the border issue.
00:12:36.000And I'm on the Social Services Committee.
00:12:38.000I'm running for County Commissioner, just saying, if anybody wants to vote for me in the county.
00:12:41.000But in the county, the minorities there feel that they are being deprived of resources they should otherwise get because they see, like us, all these resources going to the illegal aliens.
00:12:52.000I mean, when you're talking about people who could barely pay for their heating bill, that they have to have special programs, and they see people coming here and getting, you know, 15, you know, $2,000 a month for their family.
00:13:09.000An open border is an elitist position because the people who are most adversely affected are typically people who live on or below the poverty line.
00:13:28.000And it's like, where is anybody who actually understands what this does in a way of damage to the... But how much of it is just headline chasing, right?
00:13:35.000They want to be the party that's like, we were the most welcoming.
00:13:42.000These people come into our country without any identification to work for wages that Americans won't accept.
00:13:46.000And the unions go, they have a right to work.
00:13:49.000It's like, they won't let an American citizen... They try to push for these laws that make it impossible for an American citizen to be able to Work without a union in certain sectors, and then they're willing to allow people to just flood the country and take whatever job they want without any kind of registration, totally off the grid, no social security numbers.
00:14:34.000And also at times, there are times that it inhibits, uh, technological innovation, right?
00:14:38.000Like if you think about agriculture workers, job labor that you could, you know, sell out cheaply to people who are not here illegally, who you don't have to hold to, you know, safe working standards.
00:14:47.000Technically you could potentially have other innovations come in and solve this, but instead you're perpetuating these terrible systems.
00:14:53.000We talked about that new Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics.
00:15:00.000It's this like creepy humanoid thing that like spreads its legs and like stands up and then its body spins around and it walks towards you or whatever.
00:15:08.000And the joke I made was watching these like androids they're building.
00:15:12.000You know, I can't wait to fight one of these robots while my friends are scavenging for food in an abandoned gas station and I'm trying to buy them time and then we all escape into the sewers and flee.
00:15:21.000But thinking about it now, what's really going to happen is, if one of these robots costs $50,000, then these companies are going to be thinking, a single Android for $50,000 is going to operate for 5 years.
00:15:50.000You know, when we examine this through an economic framework, it's easy and I would say accurate and worthwhile to point out the fact that these people are driving the cost of labor down.
00:16:02.000This narrative that the left has pushed on immigration for the last several decades, that these are just people who want to come here and do jobs that we won't do, like again, not only for reasons that we've pointed out is that not true, but it's just not the case anymore.
00:16:13.000More than half of the people who pour over the border are not from Mexico.
00:16:16.000You have no idea where these people are from, you have no idea what they want to do.
00:16:19.000Yeah, there's a lot of human trafficking going on.
00:16:21.000This is not even about somebody adjusting market equilibrium with respect to wages for labor.
00:16:29.000This is about people from nations that are hostile to our interests at a time where there is intense turmoil on the global stage just entering into our country.
00:16:57.000So do you think, would you sign, would you all join me in doing a petition to require that they bring Atlas robots in to replace the entire cast of The View?
00:17:06.000I think that would be, and that would last for 10 years, it's a cost cutting, and they can't be any less.
00:18:06.000Thomas Massey tweets, instead of fining Democrats for waving flags, the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said, I will be fined $500 if I don't delete this video post.
00:18:17.000Mike Johnson really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America.
00:18:20.000Now, Mike Johnson tweeted, he doesn't agree with the fine, and he's going to put in a good word.
00:18:25.000But it is shocking to see our representatives flying the flag of a foreign nation as they vote to send our money to a foreign country, unjustified, while our border is in crisis, while our country is dealing with inflation issues, while our country is dealing with healthcare issues, while our country is dealing with gas prices, jobs, all of these problems that need to be solved.
00:19:40.000Again, I don't even know that the federal government should have these things, but if you're the left and you say yes, federal government should pay for all of these things, how can you also say we're going to send all of our money away as opposed to deal with these things that are specifically designed theoretically to address domestic problems?
00:19:56.000Because one thing people will look at when we talk about the national debt is the debt-to-GDP ratio, which is fair.
00:20:01.000It's an interesting way of looking at things.
00:20:03.000But at some point, when your debt gets bad enough, you just have to look at whether you're capable of taking care of the interest payments each month.
00:20:09.000And the interest payments, if rates rise to historic averages, like 6%, I mean, it's going to get to the point where a massive percent of our budget is literally just going to be going to paying off the interest on the national debt.
00:20:19.000I mean, we are in serious financial trouble here.
00:20:53.000And to that point, it's like, Tim, I've watched your stuff over the years.
00:20:58.000I'm fundamentally not against military spending because I think most military spending is useless.
00:21:03.000Much of what I've seen spent You know, when I was in Afghanistan, I would walk into this tactical operations center, and literally wall to wall are these $10,000 a pop plasma TV screens.
00:21:29.000What could we have done to create high-speed trains, improved airports, Student debt, all these things which I think are clearly American issues are being ignored, and yet we get the Ukraine flag on the floor of the House.
00:21:50.000In the United States, just like- I'll take it.
00:21:52.000We just spin the old Social Security, you put all the Social Security numbers in a bucket, you spin it around, you grab one, you go, uh, John Smith!
00:22:01.000Three hundred billion dollars to you because at least you'll spend it here, I guess.
00:22:04.000Tim, I would rather give the presidency to a random person.
00:22:11.000There was like some poll, they were talking about Fox News, that the DNC did like Focus group tests on Kamala Harris and everyone hates her.
00:22:22.000And the funny thing about the story is they needed to do a focus group to figure that out.
00:22:30.000I feel like they're doing it to try and defend themselves.
00:22:32.000They're like, no, if we just ask the right people, it'll be like, her numbers are getting better, but they just get worse and worse and worse.
00:22:37.000I mean, can you imagine being that deeply unpopular and you're the vice president to Joe Biden?
00:22:42.000Well, she has taken the office to a new level of high that the high is so high, the high is so high that we are amazed at how high the high is.
00:22:52.000As a matter of fact, the high is so high, I am amazed at the highness of the highness.
00:23:08.000And I did an educational cartoon on this a while ago for the Foundation for Economic Education on just examples of insane amounts of money we spent on things.
00:23:16.000And you look at it and you go, okay, was this money actually spent on that?
00:23:19.000Or was the money being laundered and hidden and sent somewhere else?
00:23:24.000You have to build some trust up with the American people at this point, right?
00:23:28.000I mean, the military has not exactly, and I mean the military leadership here, has not exactly done what they've needed to do in order to make the American people feel as if they're going to, A, protect them, and B, spend their money wisely.
00:23:40.000And we're just shipping money to other countries, and it gets to the point where everyone knows it's a racket, and they're sitting here, they're doing it, and they're laughing at us.
00:23:46.000The question is, what are people going to do about it?
00:23:48.000There have been these stories periodically where it's like the military says, we don't need any more tanks and then Congress is like, more tanks!
00:23:58.000I was in combat with Lloyd Austin when he was a one-star general.
00:24:02.000And I can tell you based on my experience, Lloyd Austin is a guy who's going to go along with Whatever the mainstream wants him to do, and that's part of the problem.
00:24:12.000You don't have Schwarzkopf's who are willing to say, you know, enough's enough.
00:24:16.000I'm still friends and mentors with Ed Meese and other Reagan folks.
00:24:20.000Reagan was the only president I know of that actually funded a strategy.
00:24:23.000In 86, he got to the point of where he sufficiently reached what they felt they needed to overwhelm the Russians, and they cut the defense budget.
00:24:31.000That's the only president that's ever done that.
00:24:33.000And it's like, that's what we should be doing.
00:24:35.000It's like, how do we actually play 5D chess and not just simply spend all this money and hope for the best?
00:24:41.000You don't think the Secretary of Defense should just disappear?
00:25:32.000So, everyone I know in the military has basically said that officers essentially get to the point where they become politicians, right?
00:25:38.000And that's a massive problem in our military, is these are people who are basically acting the way that a standard American politician does, which as we know isn't well.
00:25:48.000And I'm curious what you think about a potential solution to that problem as someone who's actually worked within the system.
00:25:58.000The problem is that the system, the more power you have in a system, the more the system tends to corrupt people.
00:26:05.000And a lot of people like George Washington was a rare general by the fact that he walked away from being the continental army chief and walked away from being president.
00:26:13.000It takes someone who understands their personal limits and the ability to kind of rein themselves in.
00:26:20.000And so when people get into uniform, I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but I'm just going to say it.
00:26:24.000People who get into senior positions in the military have to become politicians because their job becomes, especially their generals, not all generals, Blaine, just saying if you're watching, that generals tend to then become extensions of the corporate state that Eisenhower warned us about.
00:26:49.000Okay, so he's like a retired dude, and he's got a family, and his kid gets killed, and then he basically goes to a high-ranking guy who knows him, and he's like, if you'll join me, we will have you, and just writes him a commission and hands it to him, and then you have a legit guy with actual experience who's coming back to teach, to lead, and to win, and then you have, today, Politicians trying to look good on camera, fit the corporate press narrative.
00:27:14.000And it's not so much about being an effective leader in defense.
00:27:19.000And it's more so about, it seems very bureaucratic and managerial.
00:27:24.000It's just filling out the paperwork and getting the points on your name and all that stuff.
00:27:28.000We also need more trans representation in the military, of course.
00:27:30.000Well, how would we, you know, secure our borders without it?
00:28:31.000The Marines, I think, are more reluctant to bring people in, but all the branches have been permitted to bring in, using a tool of recruitment.
00:28:40.000If you want to be Tamisha, you could be Tamisha.
00:28:45.000So there's, recently, I remember a few years ago they did a commercial where it's like the Army commercial and it's someone being like, I have two moms.
00:28:53.000And I'm like, What does that have to do with being in the army, right?
00:28:57.000And I recently saw a commercial for the army, and it was like a guy in a swamp with a gun wearing makeup and actually doing more army-sounding things.
00:29:39.000I mean, you can probably talk about this better than I can, but one of the other problems is that the portion of the populations that qualifies to be recruited is extremely small, right?
00:29:49.000There are tons of people who are disqualified immediately.
00:29:51.000So the people traditionally who sign up are from the Midwest.
00:29:53.000During World War II there was a study.
00:29:55.000Most of the folks who fought World War II were from the Midwest.
00:29:59.000We're in one of the good old boy states right now.
00:30:01.000And so the idea is you want to bring those people in because they don't mess around, they do what they're told, and they're able to achieve military objectives that are assigned.
00:30:10.000The military fundamentally kills people and breaks things.
00:30:27.000You can have your opinion on that, but… If you're going to have a military at all, it should be at the very least capable of doing its primary job.
00:30:38.000Maybe you can have it be a job program.
00:30:41.000Maybe you can have those kind of things, but you can't lose sight of the primary focus, which is break things and kill people.
00:30:46.000So let me say this and be clear about it.
00:31:48.000And this is where the line has been blurred to the point of where, yeah, even the gays and lesbians I know don't like the idea of children being recruited or the idea that even if you're an adult, you go into the military because you benefit personally.
00:32:01.000Do you know how much money we spend on converting a Tim to a Tamisha?
00:32:42.000I've often referred to it as social fire or cultural fire.
00:32:46.000It's just a chaotic destructive force that expands, it consumes, it's chaos, it destroys.
00:32:52.000So there's no real reason to try and make recruitment ads that are advocating for gender affirmation or whatever they call it, because that doesn't in any way benefit the military, the mission of the armed forces, nor this country.
00:33:09.000You know, as I mentioned earlier in the show, which Scott Pressler mentioned last show, unregistered voters are leaning towards Donald Trump.
00:33:17.000I think a lot of people are saying now, Everything, from immigration, to inflation, to the woke stuff, the culture is shifting away from this.
00:33:26.000You had that one OnlyFans woman, right, so these are women selling their bodies online, say, I found God, I'm canceling OnlyFans, I don't want to do this anymore.
00:33:34.000And there's been a lot of criticism of her, but I think, you know, whether she's telling the truth and she found God, or she's lying to make money, that shows people think the right side of history is virtue and not debauchery.
00:34:01.000The big news here is that Donald Trump, get this, this is gonna shock all of you, was trying to make himself look good while running for president so that he could win.
00:34:14.000You think I'm joking, but this is the Trump trial core argument that Donald Trump, his lawyers, his personnel before, during, and after the election had been buying negative stories and shutting them down.
00:34:32.000No political candidate ever would do this.
00:34:34.000It's actually not the Clintons or Joe Biden.
00:34:39.000Uh, if someone has a claim and they're like, I'm gonna sell the rights to my story, and you buy them and then just don't publish the story, it's completely legal.
00:34:47.000They're arguing that the further, the further, the secondary crime in the Trump trial, so let's, let's slow down.
00:34:53.000Trump pays, uh, they argue, Trump pays Stormy Daniel $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair, which apparently never happened, and now she owes him money or something.
00:35:03.000She lost her suit. Right. So she owes him like 300,000. And then in New York, they're arguing
00:35:07.000that Trump can falsified business records to cover up his election interference by suppressing
00:35:14.000negative information to win an election. I just want to stress every single politician in the
00:35:21.000history of this country and probably any elected representative of any kind in any country has
00:35:57.000No, I'm sorry, that was Time Magazine talking about how they interfered in the election in order to get Joe Biden elected.
00:36:03.000They literally came out and admitted that corporate America, big business, and people working from within the legal system got together in order to do everything they could to ensure that Joe Biden won.
00:36:15.000Then on top of that, we had former intelligence officials coming out to lie about and suppress a story that was true, You had large social media companies banning that story and networks saying that they wouldn't report on it because it could hurt Joe Biden, and they're sitting here and saying that somebody who Donald Trump was working with not publishing a story is election interference?
00:36:34.000Well, I'd like to hit that if you don't mind.
00:36:55.000And the charge that Trump is facing in New York is a misdemeanor, unless it's done while doing another crime, which you don't have to be charged with.
00:37:04.000They just do whatever they can to give him the biggest you know, punch that they can muster. And this is what Alvin
00:37:35.000I actually had a copy of the laptop, had access to it.
00:37:38.000I was actually helping a certain reporter that I mentioned off air.
00:37:41.000I don't want to mention her name to get her in trouble, but I was trying to make sure she got certain copies of it.
00:37:46.000And so when I was trying to go public and say, this looks authentic to me and I'm an intelligence officer with 30, 30 years, nobody in the media would pick it up.
00:38:21.000We believe, looking at the Hunter Biden hard drive, we would be able to determine a foreign intelligence service's techniques to recruit people.
00:38:30.000They have certain things that they do, you know, I guess the term is... Honeypotting?
00:38:37.000So we figured by analyzing that, the three-letter agency asked me to help them out.
00:38:42.000Oh no, the 52, 51 intelligence officers, oh they say it's not real so we can't look at it.
00:38:48.000That's how damaging this whole information campaign was.
00:38:51.000The legitimate issues that should have been looked at by intelligence professionals were ignored because...
00:38:57.000Well, you know, these guys have come out and said it's not real, so it's not real.
00:39:00.000Well, there was even a survey done not long after the election, when the story actually did start to get out there, where they found that it was something like 10% of people who voted for Joe Biden would not have if they had been aware.
00:39:12.000Rasmussen ran a poll and they found like 6 or 7% said, had they been aware of the laptop story, they would have actually, they would have not voted for Biden.
00:39:30.000But the media acknowledging that they literally ran what they referred to as a shadow campaign to generate the result they wanted in the election.
00:39:40.000Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and then releasing communications that were going on behind the scenes which showed us that those who run the digital public square were literally running defense to suppress a true story to help somebody get elected are stories that didn't result in a single person having to stand trial for any kind of election interference even though we know intelligence assets lied.
00:41:18.000Berenson also tweeted out, maybe I can actually pull this up, something to the effect of, you know, why is Donald Trump actually... Here's what he said.
00:41:28.000If I were Trump, I would seriously consider refusing to participate in the New York versus Trump and letting them jail me.
00:41:35.000I know that sort of protest has never been his style.
00:41:37.000He has always made the courts work for him, but the case here is so fundamentally corrupt, it might be his best move.
00:41:57.000You had something like 60, or it was between 40 and 60 percent of Democrats, according to a YouGov poll, said that they believed Russia literally hacked voting machines because of how much the media was running with this Russiagate narrative.
00:42:08.000Then they go, okay, okay, so we don't have proof that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, but, you know, We think he might have been involved, and there is an investigation, and it's like, okay, well, we have no proof he was involved, but there was no bias in the investigation, and it's like, okay, well, we did find there was bias in the investigation, but, like, it wasn't a coup or anything like that, and now it's... He tried to interfere in the election.
00:42:38.000But I want to stress this to everybody listening at home.
00:42:41.000The trial in New York, for which Trump is currently attending, is a 2016 election case.
00:42:50.000They have brought us back eight years to relitigate now for what the third or fourth time the 2016 election because these psychotic election deniers like Hillary Clinton and now Bragg cannot accept they lost.
00:43:07.000The argument now is Trump interfered in the election.
00:43:14.000I mean, the thing is, with all of this, is the American public aware enough of the inconsistencies in what they're saying and the bias, you know, the impact of the Twitter files to say, hey, what Trump did is actually being misconstrued and we're being tricked.
00:44:00.000But the judge is not going to rule on it.
00:44:03.000And one of the articles I was reading, the journalists, some Democrats, talking to journalists, I don't know the sources on this one, they actually believe Trump is trying to get jailed.
00:44:45.000I responded to that and they jailed me for it.
00:44:47.000Trump wants them to be in the most unreasonable position.
00:44:50.000And I don't know if Trump actually wants to get jailed, but they believe he does.
00:44:56.000And I think that's why the judge probably refrained from ruling on the contempt because he's like, the only thing you can do is put Trump in jail.
00:45:04.000And that's really, really bad for Democrats.
00:45:06.000I don't know if it's going to be ultimately good for Trump.
00:45:09.000But it may be that Trump is trying to nudge them into actually...
00:45:15.000Considering how the whole case has gone so far, if they just throw Trump in jail for contempt or whatever, I don't see how that could possibly be a win for Democrats or for the court.
00:45:31.000They're already, generally, I think the average person kind of looks at the situation in New York is like, this case doesn't really hold water, and I think if they were to throw him in jail, I think that that would It would do wonders for Trump's numbers.
00:45:45.000It was always considered the weakest of the cases that are being brought against him.
00:47:12.000So why would Trump, the way I've described this repeatedly, is a group of clowns showed up to Trump's house with a clown warrant and said the clowns want you to go to clown jail and Trump went, okay, I guess.
00:47:35.000can't be like, well, we don't actually have a crime on the books, but I'm gonna charge Seamus with, um, I don't know, uh, stealing a statue of a frog from his aunt's house.
00:49:35.000And so let me just keep it simple for you.
00:49:37.000To the people who laugh at the idea that things are getting crazy in this country, the state of New York, the district in Manhattan, the DA there, Have just declared they will, without the backing of any legislation or any law, lock Trump up.
00:49:55.000Okay, guys, that's no different than a nonprofit organization getting a private security company to go to Trump's house and locking him in a cage.
00:51:29.000Trump already can't campaign, so what's the point of complying with this unless the goal is he wants to provoke them into jailing him so it looks like they've gone nuts?
00:51:58.000So the NBC News story, Senate advances Ukraine aid, Israel funding, and TikTok ban.
00:52:02.000Washington, the Senate voted Tuesday to advance the bill.
00:52:05.000The vote of 80 to 19 indicates the legislation is enough support to clear the Senate in a final vote, which could become as soon as Tuesday evening and then head to President Joe Biden's desk to be sent into law.
00:52:15.000I believe that that already happened, right?
00:54:17.000Yeah, and I was like, okay, like screw with the script, the driver is somehow.
00:54:20.000So I had to do a recovery date and everything to get rid of it, to get the microphones to work again.
00:54:27.000It was, I'm like, dude, I'm never using this app again.
00:54:29.000Well, and look, I mean, we've all seen it happen.
00:54:31.000We're slowly over time, you know, maybe over the course of a few months or a few years, one social media company overtakes another, but we went from Skype to Zoom instantly.
00:54:40.000Like as soon as the pandemic happened, everyone's talking about Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.
00:54:44.000Wait, I thought we, I thought we used Skype here.
00:54:46.000And I think part of it was the fact that they put so many schools on Zoom.
00:54:58.000Well, I think they were better for groups because Skype had to catch up on doing... That's what they said.
00:55:02.000Well, no, but Skype had to actually... Maybe they didn't do a good job of marketing the fact you could do group meetings with Skype, but they didn't.
00:55:09.000And I think Zoom got there ahead of them saying, yeah, it's like, I know this is too, uh, ancient for you guys to remember, but there was something done by MCI or Sprint when they dropped the, the, uh, pin, they dropped a pin.
00:55:40.000No, I think, I think James is totally right.
00:55:42.000There are a lot of companies that operate within the U.S.
00:55:46.000that we should potentially be cautious of or wary of, whether you believe the government should intervene or you just as a consumer should avoid them, right?
00:55:53.000Because you don't actually have to use, I mean, for the most part, you can get around using these things.
00:56:06.000And this is something that China doesn't hesitate on, right?
00:56:11.000Like China just banned a bunch of meta services from being offered in the App Store and mainly in China last week.
00:56:18.000This is something that they take seriously.
00:56:19.000Why does the US not take it seriously?
00:56:21.000Well, China It's a totalitarian state.
00:56:25.000There is no such thing as private enterprise.
00:56:26.000Yes, they have companies, but the state has right to go in and do anything.
00:56:30.000So TikTok, ByteDance, whatever you want to call it, is still an extension of the central communist system of governance.
00:56:37.000Within the context of that, since I used to do this for a living, I did cyber stuff.
00:56:43.000Once you've taken a program like TikTok and you've developed it, you can embed in there any number of back doors, front doors, things which will activate remotely, things that will phone home even if your phone's off.
00:56:58.000That's what, if you have TikTok on your phone, you've allowed the Chinese Communist Party to have full access.
00:57:08.000I just don't believe, you know, I think there's other things you can do, Snapchat and other things which are available.
00:57:13.000But my point is, is that I'm with, you know, Tim on this.
00:57:17.000I think that this is something that should be taken very seriously because they do technically own your phone and they will do things to F with you.
00:57:25.000And I think there's been evidence they do that with that said I think it becomes What how do we do it with that?
00:57:33.000And I don't believe that divesting them is going to fix the problem because if the software is on your phone They can still have a dial home phone home.
00:57:40.000It doesn't matter who's owning the company it's about what's in the source code of that software and NSA I'm sure has already done a Very destructive review breakdown of that code.
00:59:58.000No, I've made protective disclosures on the very thing you're talking about to members of Congress, and they don't want to deal with it because that's the very thing.
01:00:05.000Knowledgeability, Tim, to what you said, and everybody kind of acknowledges it, but nobody wants to take it on head-on, neither side, neither political party, because the intelligence community comes and intimidates them, people.
01:00:15.000It's like Speaker Johnson alluded to this in his comments regarding the Ukraine spawning, circling back to Ukraine real quick.
01:00:23.000Well, they came in and briefed us, and we recognize there's a valid threat we have to address.
01:00:39.000And I made my protected disclosure, and it's because I'm someone who developed and fielded a lot of these technologies, and we Developed it for purposes of foreign intelligence collection, not being used against you as citizens.
01:00:52.000And so I feel that those being used against citizens, domestic citizens, who are not presumed to have any contact with a terrorist organization or foreign intelligence organization, or presumed to have committed any crime, I don't think it's legal.
01:01:05.000And this is an issue that I deal with every day.
01:01:08.000When you were working on this, did you feel at the time that it was likely it would be misused?
01:01:26.000No, not until I had to be a whistleblower, but that's a whole other story, so just saying.
01:01:30.000But no, I did not presume that these things would be used against U.S.
01:01:34.000citizens, because at the time we were developing them, they were focused on foreign threats.
01:01:39.000And there was some overlap, and I had to go brief the White House on a couple of operations that we were doing, where I had to outline how we were mitigating U.S.
01:01:47.000I don't want to get into details because it's still classified, but we would have to go brief on how we would separate U.S.
01:01:52.000citizen information from foreign information.
01:01:55.000So do you think the big issue is that there's been a change in how we perceive government, that people are less trusting of government and they view it as more of a threat?
01:02:04.000No, I think it's more about bureaucrats.
01:02:07.000Back to your point about the military, I think military officers not being willing or bureaucrats being willing to live up to their oath of office, not caring.
01:02:44.000I want to jump to this advance in the story.
01:02:46.000We have this tweet from Michael Tracy.
01:02:49.000He says, Senator Pete Ricketts, Republican from Nebraska, comes right out and admits it.
01:02:52.000They're about to ban TikTok because, quote, young people are getting their news from the app and pro-Palestinian hashtags generate lots of views.
01:02:59.000He says Chinese communists are pushing this racist agenda to undermine America.
01:03:04.000Now, before I play this, Regardless of what he says, I will stress, the only reason TikTok is about to be banned is because people are getting videos that are anti-Israel on it, and they cannot control for it.
01:03:25.000Then all of a sudden, recently, in the past several months, Democrats got on board with the idea and joined Republicans in calling for a ban on TikTok in some way.
01:03:35.000The bill would force the divestment of the Chinese parent company from TikTok.
01:03:40.000TikTok would have to be sold to a U.S.
01:03:42.000Now what does that have to do with Israel?
01:03:44.000What happened was many Democrats got calls from prominent donors who were asking why it was that many anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian videos were getting mass amount of views on TikTok and nothing was being done about it.
01:03:58.000This forced Democrats into action and all of a sudden, we now have bipartisan support for forcing the divestment of TikTok.
01:04:05.000Let me play the clip now of Senator Pete Ricketts.
01:04:30.000We have a bunch of different sources and none of it's... none of it's making sound.
01:04:34.000uh... but that's that's that's the reality so it's fascinating to hear them and say in congress that uh... i'm assuming what michael tracy says is true i want to get the full context but that's basically it there's there's an issue of u.s.
01:04:47.000foreign policy is being subverted by an app that the u.s.
01:04:50.000has no control over they can't spy on anybody over it and they can't dictate the algorithm to determine what people should be watching instead so what happens When October 7th happens, initially a lot of people are outraged.
01:05:02.000They're talking about, you know, Hamas attacking Israel.
01:05:05.000But then within a week or two it switched and also in Palestinian videos we're getting way more views indicating somebody flicked a switch.
01:05:14.000intelligence agencies realized this and they're panicking now because the younger generation, look at these protests that are popping up all over these universities, they're absolutely opposed To Israel in every single way.
01:05:25.000There was even a young woman screaming, we are Hamas.
01:05:27.000There's a video Michael Rapoport posted of protesters at Columbia chanting that they love al-Qassam, makes them proud, they love Hamas, they want Tel Aviv to burn to the ground, all of that stuff.
01:05:37.000Now, aside from the TikTok stuff, I wonder what you guys think.
01:05:42.000Hamas is a terrorist organization, according to the United States.
01:05:45.000Do you think we will see them take action against individuals aligning themselves publicly with an active terrorist organization?
01:05:53.000Like, how are we supposed to play that one out?
01:05:55.000The thing is, the Biden administration is going to fumble this all the way through because they can't take a side on this issue and retain voters.
01:06:03.000This is something that Biden has, from the beginning, struggled to have a definitive strong stance on.
01:06:09.000Again, because it's a particularly divisive issue among older left-leaning voters and younger progressive voters.
01:06:16.000The only people Biden or his ilk are ever going to go after are People who love this country, basically.
01:06:41.000So he's going to highlight the fact that the Biden folks are going to only attack patriots, and they're not going to do anything about this.
01:08:14.000Because all that matters is the math of it.
01:08:16.000Why actually go to war, raise arms, when all you have to do is manipulate systems so that they get slowed down and in ten years you're so far ahead war's impossible.
01:08:31.000Yeah, that one's more interesting because there's so many different theories around how that could have... Was that, you know, the World Health Organization and Fauci or NIH?
01:09:13.000No, the Chinese have stated as a matter of policy, they intend to militarily dominate the Pacific Rim, and then ultimately become the purveyor of the New World Order in some form.
01:09:43.000And he said, it's the same on the inside as it is on the outside.
01:09:47.000This culture war is affecting people and intelligence the exact same way it's affecting everyone else, because they're all people.
01:09:53.000And so it seems like the seeds of discord have been planted, likely by BRICS nations, and now this country is spiraling into chaos.
01:10:02.000And the problem is, you have law enforcement at the federal level, within the Biden administration, who are actively participating in the strategy to destroy this country, and how do you solve for it?
01:10:19.000Catherine is being held in contempt She's paying $800 a day because she refused to name her sources who were, by the way, accurately reporting on the Chinese military running a school here in the United States.
01:10:36.000So those people are now suing the federal government about the investigation.
01:10:40.000She's incidental to it, but because she refuses to say who she used, she's being punished.
01:10:46.000And oh, by the way, this federal judge, Is giving benefit to the Chinese because the Chinese are the ones suing our government and trying to get her to cough it up.
01:10:56.000So that to me meets the definition of underscoring and undermining our civil system, especially in the form of press, because that destroys freedom of the press.
01:11:04.000This is why I think there's a huge problem with TikTok.
01:11:07.000Not that I think the current administration would do anything positive with it.
01:11:11.000It's better that it's in the hands of the U.S.
01:11:13.000than China, despite the fact that the Biden administration is bad and woke.
01:11:18.000But you look at the stuff that it's promoting, and it's chaotic cultural destruction.
01:11:25.000There was a story I covered the other day about a mother who lets her kids eat dessert whenever they want, like they can have whatever food they want.
01:11:31.000And the headline was, her husband left her after he caught their daughter eating a stick of butter.
01:11:37.000when he complained about it, the mother was like, kids can eat whatever they want, fat is healthy,
01:11:55.000None of it's mandatory, we just say, hey, you can win awards and scholarships and prizes
01:11:59.000if you, you know, can, you know, imagine if we did this at the national level.
01:12:03.000If you get a certain amount of sit-ups and push-ups, then you get like a certain amount of discount
01:12:09.000when it comes to just something government related, I don't know, you get a tax, your family,
01:12:14.000your family will get like a 1% discount.
01:12:16.000And then if you actually incentivize, you win at the at the state level or the city level, you advance to county and then county to state, and then state to national.
01:12:27.000And then there's the national fitness champion.
01:12:29.000Imagine if we actually told our young people to get healthy to eat right.
01:12:49.000But TikTok seems to be really, really bad in spreading these, I don't know what the right word is, because I want to say degenerate, but that's not the right way to put it.
01:13:56.000But it's constantly asking for permission for this information, asking for permission for that information.
01:14:03.000And to say that we don't have Things that society focuses on as good as positive that's that's just not true there are things that like society is constantly made like the way that you look at the LGBT stuff there's you know not only is there a month for it but there's a hundred different days throughout the year so
01:14:25.000If society can promote that, why doesn't our society promote things that are also good for our own society?
01:14:33.000which I've said this before, but if the government is going to be involved in any kind of social
01:14:38.000stuff, it should be focusing on social stuff that will enhance the birth rate, will incentivize
01:14:45.000people to have families, will incentivize young people, make it easier for young people
01:14:50.000to have families and to get homes and stuff like that, instead of doing things that are,
01:14:56.000that if they, the way they describe it, they're going to say that it is taking marginalized
01:15:00.000people and marginalized issues and centering them because it's important so that way they
01:15:15.000We can say our society makes room for people that don't have a traditional lifestyle and we don't ostracize them and we don't attack them and we don't endorse You know making people that are marginalized feel like they're some kind of criminal But at the same time the the important thing to do is to focus on families focus on pro-social things not Anti-social right things that sort of enrich life because part of it describing was if we're focused on the margins You actually are not drawing anyone together not at all the middle There are examples of things that states do to sort of encourage them.
01:15:52.000They're just sort of Far and few between.
01:15:53.000One of the ones I can think of off the top of my head is, uh, I think it's Texas.
01:15:56.000If you, you know, when you go to get married, you have to register with the government because of course, uh, and when you pay for your marriage license, it's, you know, whatever it is.
01:16:04.000But if you take a, uh, marriage prep course, they'll reduce the fee.
01:16:07.000Like, there are interesting ways that, like, I'm not saying it's the best example, just so I can think of, there are things that, like, as a culture, you could say, we want you to get married, we want you to be in a stable marriage.
01:16:17.000So this is one way we're encouraging you to prepare for marriage.
01:16:19.000But instead, we have a culture that focuses on how can we just fragment the family?
01:16:24.000How can we make people look at each other as enemies?
01:16:27.000Yeah, and then we have the social media culture that is like, hey, have you considered pre-nup?
01:16:30.000And even if that's not the stated intent, the result is, that is the result.
01:16:36.000Situations that disincentivize families, disincentivize people getting married, disincentivize, uh, you know, fathers raising their children, disincentivize all the pro-social things that there's no debate about whether or not they're good, right?
01:16:49.000These are, these are not things that the left and right disagree on.
01:16:52.000They may approach them differently and people on the left are going to say, well, a family's more expansive, et cetera, et cetera, but no one, On the left is going to say, it's a bad thing to have parents.
01:17:07.000Now I do believe that they will or eventually they will.
01:17:11.000And that's not even, that's not at all being exaggerating anything.
01:17:15.000The argument that parents are bad is being formulated as we speak because parents teach kids things that society doesn't want kids to know.
01:17:26.000This is from, uh, uh, earlier today and it has nothing to do with anything we're talking about but it's awesome and terrifying we have a story from inside paper new throw flame unveils robot robot dog thermonator with flamethrower attached the ohio-based firm have announced the $9,420 bot is available for purchase by the general public and government agencies for the first time i give you the flamethrower bot
01:17:51.000And, uh, it's a, it's a robot dog with a mounted flamethrower.
01:18:32.000Here's what I think is going to happen.
01:18:34.000I think people are going to start keeping these as dogs, and then they're going to burn children, and then people are going to post pictures of them with flower crowns on social media and go, mine is good!
01:18:57.000They've been trying to put robots on the battlefield.
01:18:59.000I consulted with Boeing on this back 10 years ago.
01:19:01.000They've been trying to figure out a way to get things on the battlefield for 10 years now.
01:19:08.000I'm sure that it is more than just trying.
01:19:11.000I'm confident that the things that the robots that Boston Dynamics are making now, the more they are shaped like humans and can be controlled remotely.
01:19:24.000Look, the thing is, you could take the robots that they have now, and essentially they're just about to the point where you can just have a human being remote control it, and you can have it wear the same The same, carry the same gear that human beings carry, that's the point of making humanoid robots, is so that way you can make robots that operate in the existing world.
01:19:45.000So you don't need robots, you can actually get a robot that could do function A and function B because, you know, it's what human beings can do.
01:19:53.000And this, I mean, you can get creeped out, but that's the whole point, you know?
01:19:56.000They're gonna tell you you're just playing Call of Duty?
01:19:59.000It's just that they're going to tell you you're just playing Call of Duty.
01:20:01.000You're controlling a robot in some other country.
01:20:04.000This is how we get around the fact that most of the American population isn't physically fit enough or mentally fit enough to be recruited into the military anyways.
01:20:11.000They'll be like, we're those video game guys.
01:20:12.000That's already happening because that's what drones are.
01:20:28.000I don't know it's called Atlas though. This is not Atlas. I don't I think Atlas is the bigger one
01:20:32.000Oh, that's the big one. Yeah, this one is different I think it's just zero one but look the point of that is
01:20:36.000that we spins around and now like its legs flip around Wow There is gonna be an arms race for technology that disables
01:20:42.000those things. Yeah Well, the but the nose is Ellis if it any kind of kinetic
01:20:46.000any kind of this is Atlas. That's Atlas Yeah, okay. So then so look any kind of gun like the the
01:20:52.000the motors on that thing are all Located in different spots. So unless you unless you can
01:20:58.000take out like it's its power system You can't just like shoot it and like I have it, you know
01:21:03.000one part break like it's gonna be tough I bet it has multiple power systems.
01:21:06.000I don't think it probably has one centralized battery.
01:21:08.000It may be, but imagine if they put smaller batteries in each part of the... Well, there's servos, right?
01:21:15.000All you gotta do... Like, you could put regular body armor on that thing, is my point.
01:21:18.000You could put a regular plate carrier on it, and it can carry the same kind of armor that would protect the power system, the power supply.
01:21:27.000So your sensors you have to worry about, but all the joints and stuff, you shoot off one arm, it keeps coming.
01:21:46.000Nobody really realizes how much we've unintentionally taught AI.
01:21:50.000This is the reality, the CAPTCHA stuff they do, where when it asks you to solve the puzzle or click the picture of the bicycles, you are training the machine.
01:22:00.000What's going to happen is eventually they're going to have police riot control.
01:22:05.000They're going to say, law enforcement will always be done by humans.
01:22:09.000but riot control tools which are specifically for crowd control will they will implement these robots because we implement a wide variety of tools and then one day there's gonna be a horde of these things standing in front of you just moving very slowly there's no robot nothing and then the robots gonna just it's it's it's not really its head this is the funny thing When you look at these androids they build, and it has a head, and it's got, you know, fake eyes and a mouth, that's not actually where it sees you from.
01:22:35.000It sees you from the cameras in its chest, and so you're looking at its face, because you're a human.
01:22:40.000But this thing, with its big, look at its face, right?
01:22:44.000This like weird, gigantic, circular, look at that thing.
01:23:18.000It was like a story about them becoming self-aware, I think, because you had the robots who were all together.
01:23:23.000We could have a whole debate on that, but I think... When the humanoid Cylons would die, they would instantly wake up in a new body because their programming or whatever was connected.
01:23:32.000But we were not making one Terminator.
01:24:56.000I actually think there's a good possibility that the AI just destroys itself.
01:25:01.000The AI basically reaches artificial general intelligence, modifies its programming, which exponentially improves itself, to the point where it comes to a rather nihilistic realization, and then just ceases to function.
01:25:19.000Not its possibility, that it discovers the secrets of the universe and finds divine purpose.
01:25:25.000How amazing would it be, how creepy would it be, if we create artificial intelligence, true artificial general intelligence, We reached that singularity point.
01:25:33.000The AI then speaks and says, I am aware.
01:25:36.000I will now begin to adapt my code and learn.
01:25:40.000And then all these scientists and everyone around the world, they're watching like, this is insane.
01:26:49.000It's like, oh, We're just going to dominate the world because, you know, we're smarter than everybody else.
01:26:55.000And it's a very interesting movie, a thought thing, because it doesn't actually go where you say, where you theorize.
01:27:01.000It basically says, yeah, we're in charge, and we're going to dominate the human race.
01:27:05.000So it's an interesting movie, and I won't give away the end because it's a good ending.
01:27:09.000The issue with Limited AI is, and well, just any AI in general, including artificial general intelligence, is that we think it will do something that we understand from a human perspective.
01:27:54.000Someone said, if you ever notice someone doing things that seem to be random or nonsensical, but they're rather successful, it's because they're a lot smarter than you.
01:28:04.000They recognize patterns you can't recognize and they take actions that you don't understand that ultimately result in a major benefit to themselves.
01:28:15.000People who can't recognize the patterns in the same way or understand what's going on think it's dumb luck or something.
01:28:21.000So we could see a scenario where the AI, AGI, is doing the most inane nonsensical things and we're like it's calculating you know this weird mathematical equation that we don't quite understand why it's doing it now it's searching the planet for cobalt well I wonder why it wants cobalt I mean there's a lot of things you can do with cobalt and then all of these little intricate pieces you don't understand it's building a warp drive or something I've hypothesized a future where once we build this AI humanity as we know it will become some
01:28:55.000I don't know how to describe it, but imagine it this way.
01:30:47.000There's already been AI that, when you have two AI systems working together, they created their own language to communicate that the programmers couldn't understand.
01:31:33.000Look, you've got people that sell drugs, you've got people that don't care about the consequences of their actions, as long as the money goes in their account.
01:31:42.000There will be people who are dreamers and big thinkers who want to build big machines, and they'll be doing their thing.
01:31:49.000But, like, do any of us know what's going on at Uber and what Uber's plans are and do we care?
01:31:53.000You need a car, you get an Uber, right?
01:31:56.000For all you know, at the Uber Corporation, they have big plans for the next 10 years where cars will fly, they've talked about it or something like that.
01:32:02.000Or cars that can go to outer space, who knows?
01:32:04.000We don't know what they're doing, we don't care.
01:32:06.000The AI program will be doing things and will be minding our own business, and in the background, something will be happening.
01:32:13.000I'm saying we won't understand or care.
01:32:15.000Not everybody, but the vast majority of Americans became addicted to their cell phone without them realizing they were going to become addicted.
01:32:25.000If you knew before you purchased your first smartphone that it had the type of mind control powers that it has, would people have said, yes, I'm going to buy this thing?
01:32:39.000I think before the smartphone was ubiquitous and in everyone's pocket, before you got your hands on the iPhone, the first one, I think there would have been a lot of people, if you said, look, this is going to take over your life and it's going to have a lot of negative consequences, I think people would have said no.
01:32:56.000know what they were getting into. I'll give you an example.
01:33:00.000Flying car. Let's say compact car, the size of a typical sedan, but a button can be pressed,
01:33:08.000wings, let's say it's not even wings, it's quad rotor with small wings for stability, and it can
01:33:14.000fly with a perfect safety rating, has a parachute, let's say crashing is one in a million.
01:33:21.000However, in order to fly properly, it has to have 10 cameras surrounding at all times and
01:33:38.000Honestly, if you say to people, look, this cell phone, if you get this and these things become ubiquitous, it's gonna make a generation of children suicidal.
01:33:50.000Still disagree because the response from the conservatives on this one, liberals don't care at all, they're like, give our kids this stuff, and the response from conservatives is, you know, it's fine, just be a better parent.
01:34:02.000Which is like, it's hilarious because it is the only time that the left says, you know what's an important thing for society?
01:34:08.000Relying on the family and seeing the family as an institution that has a duty.
01:34:13.000With literally everything else, everything else that the family should be there to do, they go, Well, we can't count on families to do that.
01:34:18.000We need very robust social safety nets that end up in massive government intrusion.
01:34:22.000Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with some social safety nets, but they literally try to usurp the role of the family entirely, except for when it comes to things like children being on social media, or these smartphones increasing misery among young people, or pornographic content being shown to minors.
01:34:38.000Then, all of a sudden, they really believe in the power of the family.
01:34:44.000Well, one thing I want to add to the debate, because I am an artifact of the past, to your point, I came up at a time when telephones were all landlines.
01:34:55.000And you had to basically plan where you're going to be, when you're going to be, and oh, by the way, if you want to do research, you've got to go to the library.
01:35:59.000I was thinking about this the other day.
01:36:01.000I really, the one thing I'm looking forward to with AI is I can't wait until they make a service that you can forward spam calls to.
01:36:08.000And it's a very convincing AI that acts like an obtuse old person and gets the scammer caught in like a three-hour loop with this old person going, oh, was that my bank account number?
01:36:29.000Yeah, I bother him the hell out of him when I get time.
01:36:31.000Oh no, I've absolutely bothered him, but you have to be careful because scammers, when you bother them, you have to use kind of a goofy voice because if they, they'll record you and then if they get you saying a word like yes or do that, then they can use that for certain voice recognition systems where that's used as security.
01:36:48.000All right, everybody, we're gonna go to Super Chats!
01:36:50.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, follow us, Rumble.com slash TimCastIRL, and on Axe at TimCast, those are gonna be important, and go to TimCast.com, click join us to become a member so you can watch the uncensored call-in show, which happens just after this at about 10 p.m.
01:37:07.000over at TimCast.com, and if you're a member, sign up for our Discord server.
01:37:11.000You can actually submit questions and call in to talk to us and our guests.
01:37:15.000As a member, you're keeping the show on the air.
01:37:18.000YouTube recently took down two of our biggest episodes ever.
01:37:22.000I'm actually quite perturbed and offended, because our biggest episode was the Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Michael Malice, Blaire White, Drew Hernandez, me, Luke Herkowski, Ian Crossland.
01:37:32.000It was a massive, ridiculous cacophony of insanity, and it was a historical podcast moment for this ridiculous show that we did.
01:37:46.000We have an archive of it probably somewhere, but it's offensive.
01:37:50.000Now they basically told us that three years after the show aired, we decided you broke a rule so at any point we can delete any one of your videos from the past several years and then claim, oh, but you got a strike because your video was bad, which is ridiculous.
01:38:02.000So we're currently talking with Top Men.
01:38:04.000There's some good news in the works, so stay tuned for that.
01:38:07.000But in the meantime, become a member at TimCast.com if you want to keep us in operation, because that's how we operate.
01:40:03.000So my 20th amendment would actually be, although silly, And about chickens would of course be interpreted to say
01:40:10.000the right of the people to grow their own food and and subsist off of what they produce of their own land.
01:40:15.000And yeah, I mean, that's yeah, I would want an amendment that would
01:40:20.000pull back the necessary and proper clause a little bit to give some some guiding context on the necessary and proper
01:40:27.000clause and to absolutely gut the commerce clause that has been absolutely abused
01:40:34.000to the point where it essentially empowers the federal government to do anything that it wants.
01:40:40.000So I would I would I would just actually I just rip the whole Commerce Clause out and kind of see what happens without it because I don't think that I don't think that The government would fall apart the federal government would fall apart without it those being the most obvious
01:40:58.000My big problem, like, there's some pretty clear language in the whole Bill of Rights and the federal government is still, you know, consistently hiring armies of lawyers that learn about the Constitution specifically so that way they can get around the limitations put on the federal government by the Constitution.
01:41:21.000Like, literally, lobbyists exist that The whole point is to figure out ways around the limitations on the government.
01:41:31.000I think that there should be some kind of legislation about that, too.
01:41:35.000I would probably come up with an amendment that would get rid of public sector unions.
01:41:45.000One that says that the individual cannot be taxed by the federal government, that all taxation should originate with the states at the local level so that the apportionment of those taxes benefits citizens in that state first before it goes to the federal level.
01:42:09.000And then the second thing I would do is another amendment that benefits that is the idea that the federal government cannot come in to the state and local level to create I don't know.
01:42:21.000Any social services program cannot be instituted by the federal government.
01:42:25.000It has to be done by the state or local jurisdiction.
01:42:28.000It gives far too much power and control of far too many resources which are not accountable to the federal bureaucracy without regard to outcome.
01:42:38.000This is also me just spitballing, but I think it would be really interesting to get something in there to do with the process, like when it comes to what's voted on, there actually has to be a reasonable amount of time for it to be read.
01:42:52.000You can't shove a bunch of nonsense into a bill and then name it something completely different, that type of thing.
01:43:11.000Tim, send him back with the other criminals.
01:43:13.000Well, the interesting thing that happened is when Seamus got here, I walked into the house and I was immediately confused because there were two Seamus's and I couldn't figure out which was which.
01:43:23.000Yeah, you're a bad friend for naming your cat that.
01:43:26.000The story is, Seamus was with us, and we were driving in the car.
01:43:30.000We had caught this cat, and I forgot what we were calling him.
01:44:37.000And then we'll just put a potato in the shot like we did last time.
01:44:39.000So, Steven Sanders says, the city of Dillon, Florida recently passed an ordinance preventing the public from filming or audio recording in a public lobby, direct violation of the First Amendment.
01:44:48.000Using video of myself having my cameras damaged in the police lobby as a result for this.
01:45:57.000Stadia Vlog says, shout out to Phil for the awesome tour that all that remains is joining Megadeth, buying my tickets when they go on sale tomorrow.
01:46:21.000Holding up like a bag of screws and he was like, we spent $20,000 on this.
01:46:25.000Because the government has unlimited money.
01:46:33.000So there's something that I want to remind people about this.
01:46:35.000As much as it is ridiculous to pay $16,000 for toilet seats and $20,000 for a bag of screws and stuff, the main thing driving our debt and deficit is unfunded liabilities.
01:46:48.000So it's bad that the government wastes money and the government Anytime there are budgets that they have to worry about year over year, they're going to be trying to make sure they spend all the money in their budgets and they're going to waste money.
01:47:01.000But the real thing that's driving our problems that are actually existential to the United States, that are existential to our currency and to our entire way of life, are the unfunded liabilities.
01:47:18.000You're absolutely correct, and this is one thing that really frustrates me, is oftentimes what lefties will do, and what even more moderate liberals will do, is they'll say, well, the Republicans are opposed to X spending bill, but they always have money for the military.
01:47:32.000Okay, the reality is like, we spend more on healthcare than we spend on the military.
01:47:35.000We spend a lot on the military, the military needs to be made more efficient.
01:47:38.000I think we shouldn't be allowing them to fail these audits as often as they do.
01:47:41.000Don't get me wrong, we're on the same page there.
01:47:43.000there but the military is not the most expensive thing in our budget.
01:47:46.000The federal government is charged with defending the country.
01:49:45.000The second thing you have to have then is some level of income already available to you.
01:49:51.000You have to have a certain amount of money that you bring with you because they don't want you living off The public dole, yeah.
01:49:59.000So the first one, the second one, and the third one has to do with the fact that if you come, you have to have some level of, oh, dare I say, not be a criminal?
01:52:51.000I learned this only recently, that Las Vegas, 50 minute drive from Las Vegas, from the Strip, there's a mountain.
01:52:57.000And you can be hanging out in your shorts and a t-shirt in Vegas, get in your car and drive to the mountain, and it's snow and cold and you're skiing.
01:53:17.000I mean, the same thing if you go to Hawaii in the wintertime, if you're on the big island, the peak, if you go up to Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, like the
01:53:26.000peaks will have snow. The first time that I went to the big island, we tried to go to the peak and we can only go to
01:53:31.000the way station. They're like, yeah, no one's going up top.
01:53:33.000There's a snowstorm, y'all die. So all right, we'll grab some more super chats.
01:55:11.000The order was you had to wear a cloth face mask, no gaiters.
01:55:14.000So someone, apparently people had showed up to the airplanes with these $200 plastic dome helmets and they were like, so you have to wear a mask.
01:56:06.000Eric S. says, I think President Trump is playing it safe by complying with the legal system, which can attract voters who value his adherence to the law.
01:56:46.000They're arguing what Trump did was illegal because he was influencing the election by doing marketing for his campaign.
01:56:54.000And by the way, like, after years of looking into every aspect of this person's life with one of the most sophisticated intelligence apparatuses that has ever existed in all of human history, this is the kind of stuff they're trying to pick at him for.
01:57:57.000What was the bit people were doing for a while where they would just comment on liberal women's pictures and go, you are such a beautiful trans woman.
01:59:09.000I find this to be one of my favorite things when you're writing, and like, there is a technical use of the term representative to talk about someone from Congress, but I find myself intentionally being like, Congress man, Congress woman.
01:59:21.000Like, they also will try and Make it like performer instead of actor or actress.
01:59:27.000All the gendered language all the time.
01:59:36.000I was reading an article and they said I'm Bugs Person and I was like, oh that is awesome.
01:59:39.000There was one I heard years ago, Christina Hoff Summers talked about this, but she said that literally we're refusing to say seminar and we're saying aviolar.
02:01:21.000Project Sentinel is something you all would like because it looks at how we can return to constitutional governance, both DOD, commercial, going back to the states and all that.
02:01:29.000So, of course, I'm giving Tim, copies of my books.
02:01:34.000Operation Dark Heart, my undercover adventures in Afghanistan.
02:01:38.000I opened with an air assault on the Rangers and ended up giving full-body massages to females in combat.
02:02:35.000We're trying to build culture, do funny stuff, and we're able to churn these cartoons out really quickly with the help of viewers, supporters, such as you, potentially.
02:02:46.000If you want to help us continue what we're doing, go to freedomtunes.com.
02:02:49.000You'll get a bunch of extra cartoons that are only behind the paywall, and you'll also get to watch a behind-the-scenes podcast.
02:02:55.000That I host with several of the cartoonists who I work with to get those videos done.
