Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Matt Gaetz Withdraws As Trump AG, Russia Fires IRBM Strike, Says UK At War w-Ami Kozak| Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 It is a sad day for us here at Timcast, but I can't say I'm too surprised.

00:00:25.000 We bought champagne when we heard that Matt Gaetz would be potentially be the nominee or potentially be the AG.

00:00:31.000 He was the nominee.

00:00:32.000 He has withdrawn from the running for AG.

00:00:35.000 Pam Bondi has now been chosen.

00:00:37.000 So it really does sound like behind the scenes that this was the plan all along.

00:00:42.000 Some have speculated that Matt Gaetz was Trump's big ask, a shocking and outrageous pick.

00:00:47.000 So that way, when Matt Gaetz is forced to say I can't do it, they bring in Pam Bondi, who is also great.

00:00:52.000 But everyone feels a little more relaxed about someone who actually has experience and isn't as shocking as Matt Gaetz.

00:00:59.000 Maybe.

00:00:59.000 So then we'll talk about what this means.

00:01:01.000 Matt Gaetz resigned, but he is still the congressman elect for his district.

00:01:05.000 So there's nothing stopping him from going back to Congress.

00:01:08.000 We'll talk about that and what it means.

00:01:10.000 And then we get other other big news in the wee hours of the morning.

00:01:13.000 It was reported by Ukraine that Russia fired an ICBM at Ukraine.

00:01:19.000 If that was true, it would be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile in warfare.

00:01:24.000 However, shortly after the West denied this and reports now say that, in fact, it was an intermediate ranged ballistic missile on IRBM.

00:01:32.000 You know, it's basically what they're saying is it was modeled off of a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile fire.

00:01:42.000 functionally the same or similar, but it didn't have nukes on it.

00:01:45.000 So, you know, we'll get into that to try and understand it.

00:01:50.000 And we're not just going to be serious tonight.

00:01:51.000 We have a funny story.

00:01:53.000 The View says Joe Rogan believes in dragons.

00:01:55.000 I kid you not.

00:01:56.000 They actually did a segment where they were like, people listen to Joe Rogan, and he says dragons are real, and he believes dragons have existed in the times of humans.

00:02:02.000 They're making all of this up once again.

00:02:04.000 Joe has made fun of them.

00:02:05.000 So we'll talk about that, plus a bunch of other stories.

00:02:08.000 We'll talk about the Jaguar ad, Get Woke, Go Broke, all that good stuff.

00:04:07.000 Thank you for having me, Tim.

00:04:08.000 Sam, good to be here.

00:04:09.000 Who are you?

00:04:09.000 What do you do?

00:04:10.000 I am a comedian, musician, impressionist, and content creator.

00:04:14.000 And more recently over the last year have been pretty outspoken on some political issues, which has gotten me into some interesting debates and conversations out there online.

00:04:22.000 Right on.

00:04:23.000 Well, it should be fun.

00:04:24.000 So glad to have you.

00:04:25.000 Elad is back. 0.78

00:04:26.000 Hey, everybody.

00:04:27.000 What's up?

00:04:27.000 My name is Elad Eliyahu.

00:04:28.000 I am a journalist here at TimCast.

00:04:31.000 Ami, it's great to have you.

00:04:32.000 What's up, Ian?

00:04:33.000 Hey, man.

00:04:33.000 I'm just looking forward to putting Milo Yiannopoulos in the crystal.

00:04:36.000 Bro, I'm coming for you, Milo.

00:04:38.000 I love you, homie.

00:04:39.000 It's good to see you.

00:04:39.000 Thank you for all the nice things.

00:04:40.000 Milo was like, he said something like, I'm quite upset that Ian's not here because I like being here.

00:04:44.000 We get along.

00:04:45.000 We text.

00:04:46.000 We're friends offline.

00:04:46.000 We both have online personas.

00:04:48.000 Milo is one of the biggest hippies I know.

00:04:50.000 So I'm really sad that I missed that show last night, dude.

00:04:53.000 I'll be here next time, I promise you.

00:04:55.000 And also, I think dragons may have been real.

00:04:56.000 I'll tell you more about it during this segment.

00:04:58.000 Well, if you'd like, I can channel something to Milo for you.

00:05:02.000 Asterian, you mean?

00:05:03.000 Dude, and I texted Milo during the show.

00:05:06.000 I was like, I don't know if you actually realize how big of a deal Baldur's Gate 3. It's like the biggest video game maybe ever made.

00:05:11.000 Yeah, it was probably...

00:05:12.000 Is it Game of the Year?

00:05:13.000 Game of the Year.

00:05:14.000 Was it?

00:05:15.000 Arguably Game of the Decade.

00:05:16.000 But was it literally Game of the Year?

00:05:17.000 Probably, I don't know.

00:05:18.000 Larian Studios had Divinity 2, Best Studio.

00:05:20.000 And so it's like really impressive that they modeled their iconic character off of Milo. 0.97

00:05:26.000 Like, that's a big fucking deal for Milo. 0.83

00:05:28.000 Well, but I also point out, too, if you watch The Boys, it's very obvious that Stormfront is Laura Loomer, right? 0.97

00:05:36.000 Like, if you watch The Boys, I'm watching it, and I'm like, it is crazy how these shows are just ripping off personalities and taking their personas.

00:05:46.000 But anyway, we'll get into all that stuff.

00:05:47.000 We got Phil hanging out.

00:05:48.000 I am Phil Abonte.

00:05:49.000 How you doing?

00:05:50.000 I'm the lead singer of the Heavy Metal Band, All That Remains.

00:05:52.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:05:54.000 Tim?

00:05:54.000 Let's go from Fox News.

00:05:57.000 Bad news.

00:05:58.000 Matt Gaetz withdraws as attorney general nominee.

00:06:01.000 It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump-Vance transition, Matt Gaetz said.

00:06:08.000 Well, here's the tweet he put out.

00:06:10.000 I had excellent meetings with senators yesterday.

00:06:12.000 I appreciate their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support of so many.

00:06:16.000 While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump-Vance transition.

00:06:22.000 There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle.

00:06:26.000 Thus, I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.

00:06:29.000 Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on day one.

00:06:32.000 I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful president in history.

00:06:36.000 I will be forever honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice, and I'm certain he will save America.

00:06:42.000 Now, of course, the news is that Pam Bondi is the new Trump pick for attorney general.

00:06:47.000 She's a former Florida attorney general and was part of Trump's defense during his first impeachment trial.

00:06:52.000 Now, many people are speculating that this was always the plan.

00:06:57.000 Matt Gaetz was going to come out as the big ask.

00:06:59.000 Then when they, oh, we can't get mad, so I'll never get confirmed, they pull him back, Pam Bondi steps up. 0.74

00:07:05.000 The argument being that if Trump, no matter who Trump chose, they'd send in the big guns.

00:07:10.000 So if Trump came out first and we want Pam Bondi, they'd accuse her of everything, they'd call her a Nazi, whatever they had to do. 0.99

00:07:16.000 So he goes with Matt Gaetz.

00:07:18.000 Now, if they say the same about Pam Bondi, people are gonna be like, well, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:07:23.000 Like, is every single person gonna be like this?

00:07:26.000 And then it makes it look bad on their side.

00:07:29.000 I can't imagine Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress without realizing senators were not going to confirm him.

00:07:36.000 I don't imagine a reality where Matt's sitting there being like, there will be no contest.

00:07:40.000 I'm going to get in.

00:07:41.000 It'll be easy.

00:07:42.000 Plus there was a talk of recess appointments.

00:07:45.000 I have to assume they had this planned.

00:07:48.000 I don't know about planned, but I do think that it should have been or would have been something that they were aware was a possibility.

00:07:56.000 As for Pam Bondi, I'm not super familiar with her, but if she has worked on Team Trump before and she's willing to do the same job that Gates was, because, I mean, at the end of the day, as far as I'm concerned, I want to see someone do the job.

00:08:14.000 It would have been cool if it was Gates because he's a friend of ours and all that, but at the same time, just so long as it's someone that will go after the people that have broken the law and investigate people that are suspected of breaking the law.

00:08:29.000 If she's willing to do that, It doesn't really matter.

00:08:34.000 But I want someone that's a bulldog, someone that's actually going to go hard and actually use the Department of Justice to hopefully root out the massive, massive amounts of corruption in the United States federal government.

00:08:46.000 Because it's clear that there is a huge amount of corruption.

00:08:50.000 I mean, all of the investigations into Trump, every last one of them is suspect.

00:08:55.000 And Matt Gaetz!

00:08:56.000 And Matt Gaetz.

00:08:57.000 Matt Gaetz, yeah, fair enough.

00:08:58.000 So it's clear that the bureaucracy and the former DOJ abused their power, or at least it's highly likely, but I won't get into definitive terms, but it's highly likely.

00:09:13.000 And it looks like the DOJ abused the hell out of their power and really have...

00:09:22.000 We've done a terrible disservice to the American people because your average person that pays attention to the day-to-day stuff coming out of Washington, they're all looking at the stuff that Trump was accused of and they're like, I'm not so sure.

00:09:42.000 You know, look, they went after Trump, but they didn't go after Biden and they decided not to prosecute Clinton, but they're going to go after Trump and they raided...

00:09:49.000 Mar-a-Lago and, you know, all of these things that the DOJ did the entire time that Biden was president and all of these things that were going on while Trump was president, all of the Steele dossier, you know, all of the Russiagate stuff, all that stuff.

00:10:05.000 The average person has really lost faith in this justice system.

00:10:09.000 Yeah.

00:10:10.000 So the five senators who I'm seeing floated that allegedly—I can't find it from an official account.

00:10:16.000 It's only these parody accounts, so let's take this with a grain of salt.

00:10:19.000 But the likely people would have been Susan Collins, the senator from Maine, who would have voted against Matt Gaetz, Lisa Murkowski from Alaska. 0.85

00:10:27.000 They're saying— They're saying Mitch McConnell and then I'm not very familiar with John Curtis from Utah.

00:10:33.000 Matt Gaetz made a lot of enemies when he was in Congress when he tried to overthrow the majority leader McCarthy.

00:10:41.000 Tried to?

00:10:42.000 Well, when he successfully overthrew McCarthy and he made a lot of political enemies.

00:10:46.000 Did he say Trump's name instead of McCarthy when they were casting him?

00:10:49.000 At least at one point.

00:10:51.000 And there's a lot of inside baseball going on about the timing of the resignation and all this going down.

00:10:56.000 Allegedly, Matt Gaetz originally asked McCarthy to sweep the House investigation into his.

00:11:02.000 There's some ethics complaint against Matt Gaetz, allegedly sleeping with a 17 year old that.

00:11:08.000 He wanted McCarthy to sweep under the rug.

00:11:10.000 McCarthy refused.

00:11:12.000 Matt Gaetz tried to overthrow him.

00:11:13.000 Upset the establishment, among other things.

00:11:15.000 They've been enemies ever since.

00:11:17.000 And this is some of the downstream effects we're seeing from there.

00:11:22.000 Have you familiar with Scott Adams' take on Trump's A-B testing strategy he used to talk about?

00:11:26.000 Ever since he even started running in 2015, if you listen to Scott Adams, who wrote the Dilbert comic strips and has been calling Trump's basic...

00:11:35.000 Like, hero's arc story since the very beginning.

00:11:37.000 He said in 2015, when everyone thought it was a laughingstock that he would be running, that he would be winning, and he called Trump's victory all through, and he calls this the big third act.

00:11:45.000 But his whole thing is that Trump has always had this strategy where people think he's just being a clown and being impulsive, but It's actually very calculated in that he'll say something that will be much more provocative or make choices that are provocative, and everyone will react to it, and then when he walks it back to the actual position he was going to take to begin with, it seems like a reasonable compromise.

00:12:05.000 And if he were to come out first with the appointment he has now, people would have brought out the guns.

00:12:10.000 But in doing so, it's like throwing out the A, see where people react, which is Gates, and then pulling it back and nominating her.

00:12:16.000 So it's been a pattern all along that is much more calculated than I think people realize.

00:12:21.000 He's famous for the big ask.

00:12:22.000 That's it, the big ask.

00:12:24.000 I make deals.

00:12:25.000 I make so many deals.

00:12:26.000 I mean, again, I don't know that there was a plan in it.

00:12:33.000 Trump was familiar with her anyways.

00:12:36.000 How could there not be?

00:12:38.000 Well, like I said, I think that the situation was like, he probably had a backup because everyone does know that Matt Gaetz is a firebrand, but I don't know that it was his intent.

00:12:46.000 Matt Gaetz coming out and being like, we couldn't get the vote, so I have to withdraw.

00:12:50.000 And I'm like...

00:12:50.000 That doesn't seem to make sense.

00:12:52.000 Yeah, because there was also rumors, though, that the House was going to come out with the House ethics committees a couple of days before he ended up resigning.

00:13:01.000 I think that's nonsense.

00:13:02.000 Of course, they leaked these things no matter what.

00:13:04.000 Sure, and it did actually eventually get leaked to the New York Times.

00:13:07.000 The report's been leaked?

00:13:08.000 Not the full report, but they said there was a hacker who fed part of it.

00:13:13.000 And now some files have already been released showing his Venmo transactions.

00:13:18.000 Matt Gaetz leaving.

00:13:19.000 This is a talking point from Democrats.

00:13:21.000 Oh, he's leaving so they can't do it.

00:13:23.000 What do you mean they can't do it?

00:13:24.000 They're voting.

00:13:24.000 They tried to have a vote to release it anyway.

00:13:26.000 And it would come up in the Senate hearings for confirmation either way.

00:13:31.000 So I don't think that makes any sense.

00:13:33.000 I think the case closes once he resigns from Congress.

00:13:36.000 And they still said they were going to vote to release it.

00:13:39.000 So what are they going to do?

00:13:42.000 So this is generally, Gates thought, if there are four Republican senators that were going to vote no, three, then there's no way he could have been confirmed because the other side would have had the majority.

00:13:52.000 He wasn't getting any from Democrats.

00:13:53.000 And there's no way to re-vote or re-vote.

00:13:56.000 There is a recess appointment.

00:13:57.000 Well, they didn't vote at all, by the way.

00:13:59.000 Right.

00:13:59.000 They went and talked.

00:14:00.000 He claims...

00:14:01.000 He went and talked to senators.

00:14:03.000 Too many of them, I think it was like four, were like, we're not going to do it.

00:14:06.000 And he's like, well, that's it.

00:14:07.000 You can't do it.

00:14:07.000 And so according to numerous reports, and I don't trust any of these people, I think it was Politico, I'm not sure, they said that a source familiar with what happened said Trump told them, look, you don't have the votes.

00:14:16.000 It's not going to work.

00:14:18.000 I don't buy it because as soon as they said Matt Gaetz, everyone said it's going to have to be a racist appointment.

00:14:24.000 There's no way Donald Trump and Matt Gaetz, and I know Matt, and he's brilliant.

00:14:29.000 He's a super smart guy.

00:14:30.000 He saw this coming.

00:14:32.000 So my only assumption is he goes back to Congress, maybe gets appointed a senator when Rubio comes out, but they had to have seen this coming.

00:14:40.000 I'm a huge fan of Matt Gaetz.

00:14:42.000 I've told him this to his face on the show.

00:14:44.000 Favorite member of Congress for standing up to the machine, standing up to Kevin McCarthy.

00:14:47.000 You got Mike Lawler out of New York saying he risked our majority by siding with Democrats. 0.97

00:14:51.000 I'm like, no, he sided with the people who are fed up with your whole corrupt Congress that cuts deals behind our back to spend trillions of dollars on garbage.

00:14:58.000 And we're proud of Matt Gaetz for having done that. 0.75

00:15:01.000 That being said...

00:15:03.000 My opinion is that he had a plan the whole time.

00:15:05.000 I will say if the DOJ had the goods on him, I'm sure they wouldn't have had any problem going after him for it.

00:15:11.000 So there is something there with them not coming out.

00:15:13.000 And again, it doesn't need to reach the threshold of being illegal to have done something that is bad or wrong.

00:15:19.000 Does Rubio appoint his successor now?

00:15:22.000 I think, no, DeSantis does.

00:15:25.000 Oh, Ron DeSantis.

00:15:25.000 He'd just be like, Gates, you're the guy?

00:15:27.000 Yep.

00:15:28.000 He would never, though, because DeSantis ran against Trump in the primary, and then Gates backed Trump hard, and DeSantis probably took that personally.

00:15:36.000 Maybe, but I think DeSantis does support the Republican agenda in general, and Gates is a good choice for Senator.

00:15:43.000 But what else could Gates do, like, in the Trump administration?

00:15:46.000 Aren't there other roles in the Trump administration he could get?

00:15:48.000 You mean Gates...

00:15:49.000 Gates resigned now, right, during this Congress.

00:15:53.000 He was elected for the next Congress.

00:15:57.000 So he could take his seat back because he was elected in January.

00:16:01.000 He resigned for the, I think it's the 118th Congress.

00:16:04.000 And when the 119th Congress goes in to take their seats, he can take that seat.

00:16:10.000 Because he didn't resign saying, I'll never be in Congress again.

00:16:14.000 He said, I'm resigning from the 118th Congress.

00:16:17.000 I think, in worst case, there would be a special election and he'd definitely win the seat.

00:16:21.000 I'm not sure...

00:16:22.000 Why go through this roundabout?

00:16:22.000 Like I said, the point...

00:16:24.000 He doesn't need a special election.

00:16:25.000 He's the congressman-elect for that district.

00:16:27.000 That means, come January 3rd, he's just in.

00:16:29.000 So, was this more of a favor to Trump or vice versa?

00:16:31.000 Why go through this roundabout process from his perspective?

00:16:34.000 Favor to Trump.

00:16:35.000 Part of the plan, part of the mission, you know?

00:16:36.000 What do you think?

00:16:37.000 Maybe he's senator.

00:16:38.000 You guys don't think that Rubio would do that?

00:16:41.000 I don't know if Rubio...

00:16:43.000 I mean...

00:16:44.000 DeSantis would do that.

00:16:46.000 I think he would.

00:16:47.000 I don't see who else he would appoint.

00:16:48.000 Well, I don't know.

00:16:49.000 The thing is that the Democrats have no credibility when it comes to any of these alleged sexual assault cases, especially when there isn't any criminal complaints.

00:16:56.000 They did the same thing to Kavanaugh, and I think the Republicans are...

00:16:59.000 I think it's an important thing, because they're going to come with similar allegations against Trump's other cabinet picks, like Pete Hexth, which is the next guy who they're going to come after.

00:17:08.000 Republicans can just say, look, this is standard procedure.

00:17:11.000 Right?

00:17:11.000 Like, Republicans can actually say that.

00:17:13.000 Hegseth, Kavanaugh, Gates...

00:17:15.000 I mean, you can go down the list of at least...

00:17:18.000 If I sat and thought about it, we could come up with at least five different people that are Republicans...

00:17:24.000 They've all been accused of some kind of sexual misconduct, right?

00:17:29.000 Like, that's Donald Trump, you know, that is normal.

00:17:32.000 And I think that because there have been no arrests, investigations have gone nowhere, you know, with a massive majority, significant majority of these accusations, you can safely say, look...

00:17:49.000 You know, that's just what the Democrats do.

00:17:51.000 I think that it's more likely, or the more important factor is, what is Gates' relationship with DeSantis?

00:18:00.000 You know, because if DeSantis does like him, and they get along, then it might be more likely, but I don't know.

00:18:07.000 But there are White House positions that you could get appointed to, and you don't need to be confirmed to by the Senate.

00:18:12.000 There's bad blood between them from the primary, I believe.

00:18:15.000 DeSantis and Gates?

00:18:17.000 DeSantis and Gates, yeah.

00:18:18.000 Why?

00:18:19.000 Because Gates was a hardcore Trump backer, and DeSantis thought he had a chance against him.

00:18:23.000 But in a post-Trump victory world, a lot of stuff gets washed under the bridge.

00:18:27.000 Look at Little Marco now next to Donald Trump.

00:18:29.000 Lion Ted.

00:18:30.000 Little Marco, we called him, and now he's Secretary of State.

00:18:32.000 I still think Trump's holding a grudge against...

00:18:34.000 Trump is holding a grudge?

00:18:36.000 Trump does not hold grudges.

00:18:37.000 Trump doesn't hold grudges.

00:18:39.000 Yeah, Trump famously doesn't, and I think it's a problem.

00:18:43.000 He's saying of Micah and Joe showing up to Mar-a-Lago, he's like, well, you know, I'll give people extra chances.

00:18:48.000 He says, I'll give them one, two, three, but I won't do four.

00:18:51.000 Trump is so likely to not hold a grudge that even Cenk Uygur had made a tweet, you know, one of the good things about Trump is that he doesn't hold grudges.

00:19:00.000 He will not speak over me!

00:19:02.000 It's such a thing with Trump that even people that are considered far-left Have to acknowledge, yeah, he doesn't hold grudges.

00:19:10.000 As long as they're deferential.

00:19:11.000 He's not going to hold a grudge against anyone.

00:19:13.000 Do you think there's any other cabinet position that's going to be held up here?

00:19:16.000 Pardon me?

00:19:17.000 Do you think there's any other cabinet position that's likely to get held up here?

00:19:19.000 I think that they're going to go...

00:19:21.000 I think the two that are most likely going to see the most resistance is Tulsi for DNI and I think...

00:19:25.000 Bobby Kennedy.

00:19:26.000 Kennedy.

00:19:26.000 Because they're Democrats.

00:19:28.000 Pardon me?

00:19:28.000 Because they're former Democrats.

00:19:30.000 No, because...

00:19:30.000 I think it would be difficult for Republicans to vote to confirm somebody like Tulsi Gabbard.

00:19:33.000 No, I think it's because...

00:19:36.000 Kennedy is a different thing entirely.

00:19:37.000 It's not a political thing.

00:19:38.000 It's more about his unique kind of position.

00:19:40.000 Yeah, well, Kennedy is because of his views.

00:19:42.000 Kennedy is because of his views.

00:19:44.000 And Tulsi Gabbard, it's because of her outlook on the intelligence community overall.

00:19:49.000 We'll keep our eyes on those.

00:19:51.000 The thing that's difficult is that Trump, he said it on Rogan when he first got in, he's still surrounded by insiders and establishment people, and it was very hard for him to sift through that.

00:20:01.000 And now he has sort of the authority to go outside that, but you still need this confirmation process.

00:20:05.000 So it's this fine line of getting confirmed by people who are establishment while bringing people in who are from the outside.

00:20:10.000 It's normal for a couple, like one or two, to not make it.

00:20:14.000 But at some point, they do say, look, the president gets to select his cabinet.

00:20:19.000 And they are the people that the president prefers.

00:20:22.000 It's like a customary thing.

00:20:23.000 Well, the thing is, it's with the consent of the Senate.

00:20:27.000 But the Senate...

00:20:30.000 It's like normally they're like, well, we may not like him, but the president gets to make his cabinet full of people that he likes.

00:20:36.000 And it would be unprecedented if there were like four people.

00:20:41.000 If that were to happen and the Senate didn't confirm anybody and then Trump gets in office, what happens?

00:20:46.000 The positions have to be filled.

00:20:48.000 By who?

00:20:48.000 No, I mean...

00:20:49.000 It'd be recess appointments until they eventually...

00:20:52.000 Right, but during Trump's first administration, famously, many of these positions went unfilled because they would not...

00:20:57.000 They were obstructing Trump every step of the way.

00:20:59.000 There would be acting...

00:21:00.000 There would be, like, an acting AG and an acting Secretary of Defense...

00:21:03.000 Appointed by Trump?

00:21:03.000 Appointed by Trump for a limited amount of time or something, and they don't have all the...

00:21:06.000 Gates could be the acting AG. They don't have all of the privileges of the true AG. This was the point.

00:21:11.000 They were talking about recess appointments.

00:21:12.000 Mike Johnson would call for an adjournment.

00:21:14.000 Senate would say no.

00:21:15.000 Trump would say, you're hereby adjourned, and then he can recess appoint all of these people.

00:21:19.000 Let's jump to this next story from Lone Star Live.

00:21:22.000 Trump advisor calls CBS producer effing dummy after false alarm about ambulances leaving Mar-a-Lago.

00:21:29.000 This story is fascinating because earlier today, I don't know if you guys saw the breaking news.

00:21:34.000 Two ambulances were seen leaving Mar-a-Lago surrounded by Secret Service.

00:21:38.000 Everybody was losing their minds.

00:21:40.000 This was it.

00:21:41.000 Some people on Blue Sky were actually posting, these liberals, that Trump had passed on.

00:21:47.000 Well, as it turns out, this story is absolutely hilarious.

00:21:50.000 What actually happened is these are part of a normal motorcade.

00:21:53.000 They were not, as we know, in use, according to reports.

00:21:57.000 Journalists have formed an unofficial press pool swarming outside of Mar-a-Lago.

00:22:02.000 So a press pool, for those that don't know, is...

00:22:05.000 A pool report is, and I may be wrong about this because I think their whole practice is stupid, but there will be, say there's an official government event, they'll say, we're only going to have a pool reporter.

00:22:14.000 It's one person who goes in and they film or whatever, and then that is relayed to all the agencies so they can all use it, something like that. 0.51

00:22:21.000 So they've created an unofficial pool where they're just hanging out outside of Mar-a-Lago waiting for news. 0.96

00:22:27.000 And because they're stupid and don't fact check when they saw ambulances leave, they reported as this big breaking story when literally nothing was happening, causing a panic and then getting roasted. 0.98

00:22:38.000 Stephen Chung, advisor to Trump, dismissed concerns about ambulances, saying the CBS producer overreacted. 1.00

00:22:45.000 Pray for Trump.

00:22:46.000 Pray for President Trump began trending on X at 3.30 p.m.

00:22:49.000 Central.

00:22:50.000 This is 4.30.

00:22:50.000 After a reporter tweeted a tip he said he received from a CBS producer about several ambulances and secret service vehicles seen entering and leaving Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

00:22:59.000 What really happened?

00:23:00.000 J.D. Vance showed up.

00:23:02.000 That's it.

00:23:03.000 The press has set up a fake unofficial pool because they want to feel important about themselves. 0.99

00:23:07.000 In this case, some idiot at CBS overreacted and set off the fire alarm for no reason, thinking they were going to get the scoop of a lifetime effing dummy. 0.98

00:23:16.000 So CBS is the new CNN? Oh, they're all bad, dude. 1.00

00:23:20.000 Anti-Trump network and eventually going to get divested in the next four years if they keep acting like this?

00:23:26.000 It's not so much that they're being anti-Trump, it's that they don't do anything substantial in terms of reporting.

00:23:31.000 Everybody assumes these reporters must be telling the truth, or I should say, the default libs do.

00:23:35.000 Meanwhile, the rest of us are like, I don't believe what you're saying.

00:23:38.000 You gotta show me a video and prove it.

00:23:40.000 And so, this is what happens when you take people who have no idea what's going on, Put them outside.

00:23:45.000 This is a perfect example of what would trigger a gal man amnesia effect. 0.87

00:23:49.000 Even in us.

00:23:50.000 Even in us.

00:23:51.000 Because what do you do, right?

00:23:52.000 You look at this story and you're like...

00:23:55.000 Oh, wow, that's crazy.

00:23:56.000 Ambulances were leaving.

00:23:58.000 Then it turns out, according to officials, the ambulances are a normal part of the motorcade.

00:24:02.000 It's nothing special.

00:24:03.000 It's like they're there for a variety of reasons, wherever it may be.

00:24:06.000 Emergencies, maybe.

00:24:07.000 And you're like, oh, but I didn't know that.

00:24:09.000 That's where Trump sleeps in the end.

00:24:10.000 No one sees him.

00:24:11.000 The next time the CBEST reporter reports something, we're going to say, oh, wow, look at that.

00:24:18.000 The CBS guy's going to say, oh, I just saw a giraffe leaving the property.

00:24:21.000 I'm going to go, wow, a giraffe.

00:24:22.000 Instead of saying, this guy's full of it and he's probably lying or wrong.

00:24:26.000 It wasn't a giraffe, it was a zebra.

00:24:28.000 I'm a little more on guard against CBS now.

00:24:30.000 I know that CNN's been apt to say weird things, MSNBC, even, I don't know about Fox News lately, but CBS seems like they're more neutral, I guess.

00:24:40.000 They're all owned by, I don't want to say the same people, but a lot of the same companies, I think, own these media networks.

00:24:45.000 I should check out who owns CBS. I'll do that.

00:24:48.000 Well, there's been a big humbling effect on a lot of the legacy media outlets, so they're just kind of looking for anything they could point to, to tip the narrative somewhere else, where things are not going that way.

00:25:01.000 So they're craving crumbs of like, ooh, something wrong?

00:25:04.000 Anything that's like...

00:25:06.000 I mean, look, if it were true, it would be a big story.

00:25:09.000 So the guy got out over his skis, and that's fairly normal.

00:25:14.000 With, you know, with reporters, like if they see something, they're just like, ooh, you know, I want to go and blah, blah, blah, especially if it's, you know, if it's Donald Trump, because if something had happened, you know, the guy that breaks the news is like, look at me, I broke the news, I got, you know, but I mean...

00:25:33.000 With X and stuff the way that it is, like if you report something and people can confirm that your reporting was right, and that's really all that happened, is he reported this happened, you know, ambulances left with a bunch of Secret Service cars around it.

00:25:50.000 And then that picked up on X, and then blah, blah, blah.

00:25:52.000 Now, what went on in Blue Sky, that's a whole different thing.

00:25:56.000 But the stuff that I was seeing on X was all just people reporting what he reported.

00:26:01.000 Two ambulances and multiple cars of Secret Service.

00:26:04.000 Two ambulances and multiple cars of Secret Service.

00:26:07.000 There's multiple accounts that were reporting that.

00:26:09.000 The fact that people on Blue Sky took it and did a whole lot of the fan fiction stuff they do.

00:26:17.000 Jumping to conclusions.

00:26:18.000 Not just jumping to conclusions.

00:26:20.000 They want bad things to happen. 0.85

00:26:22.000 So over at Blue Sky, they're going to be like, Oh man, wouldn't it be great if Donald Trump died?

00:26:27.000 Wouldn't it be great if this happened? 0.99

00:26:29.000 Wouldn't it be great if he broke his leg?

00:26:32.000 Anything bad that can happen to Donald Trump, Blue Sky is going to be throwing a party about it.

00:26:37.000 So, I mean, like I said, when you were over here on X, it was fairly accurate reporting.

00:26:47.000 Like I said, everything was a couple ambulances and a bunch of Secret Service.

00:26:52.000 I didn't see Blue Sky because I don't have a Blue Sky account, and I think I might have to make one just to go and collect some lols.

00:27:00.000 But yeah...

00:27:02.000 It doesn't surprise me that the factual stuff went around, and it also doesn't surprise me that the people like, you know...

00:27:10.000 Spun it into something.

00:27:11.000 Especially on Blue Sky, man.

00:27:12.000 They really want him to be a bad guy.

00:27:14.000 You know, they believe that he is the worst thing ever.

00:27:19.000 I mean, there's even still some of the far left that are on X that are, you know, consistently saying things like, oh, look, you guys are going to regret it.

00:27:28.000 There are people that are...

00:27:29.000 There's a couple specific accounts that are already saying things like, look, you guys asked for this.

00:27:36.000 You guys asked for this.

00:27:37.000 You asked for this.

00:27:38.000 And it's like, well, yeah, literally, we know.

00:27:42.000 Like, what are you saying?

00:27:44.000 They're implying that there's terrible things happening.

00:27:46.000 It's like, the man hasn't even been inaugurated yet.

00:27:49.000 Like, this is all just, like, setting up stuff.

00:27:52.000 And yes...

00:27:53.000 Everyone knows that most people in the country are comfortable with deporting people and stuff.

00:28:00.000 The funniest thing about Trump winning is you get Joe Walsh saying, Attorney General Matt Gaetz, that's what you voted for when you voted for Donald Trump.

00:28:07.000 Congratulations.

00:28:08.000 And literally all of us are like...

00:28:09.000 Yes.

00:28:10.000 As if it's like a gotcha.

00:28:11.000 Literally we did.

00:28:13.000 We actually are very happy with that choice.

00:28:15.000 It's a bummer to see that he won't be.

00:28:17.000 But yeah, we did vote for it.

00:28:20.000 They don't seem to understand that...

00:28:22.000 We like Trump.

00:28:24.000 Yeah.

00:28:24.000 We like Matt Gaetz.

00:28:25.000 Yeah.

00:28:26.000 They're like, you must think the same way as me.

00:28:28.000 So you are you.

00:28:29.000 This is what's happening now.

00:28:30.000 And we're like, oh, thank heavens.

00:28:32.000 Here's the other thing, too, about like, Trump is going to use the military to deport people.

00:28:37.000 When the migrants were sent to Martha's Vineyard, they called the National Guard to round them up and bring them to a dorm housing and a military base.

00:28:46.000 You mean a camp?

00:28:47.000 That's right.

00:28:48.000 I'm being polite, but the National Guard rounded up these legal asylees. 1.00

00:28:53.000 Biden's America.

00:28:54.000 That's right.

00:28:55.000 That's Biden's America.

00:28:56.000 And unfortunately, it'll be other Republicans that block Trump from accomplishing things like this.

00:29:00.000 We kind of, I don't know if we've mentioned this before, but Rand Paul broke with Trump.

00:29:04.000 And actually, I think he came out against using the military for mass deportations, calling it a huge mistake.

00:29:11.000 If Rand Paul thinks that, there are going to be many other senators.

00:29:14.000 I don't know about many other.

00:29:15.000 Remember, Rand Paul is very libertarian.

00:29:18.000 We could start with Murkowski.

00:29:20.000 We could start with Susan Collins.

00:29:21.000 No, they're barely Republicans.

00:29:23.000 They're the people that are...

00:29:25.000 I mean, I think Collins is independent now, isn't she?

00:29:28.000 I think she's still a Republican.

00:29:30.000 But the argument would be that she's the only one who could win in that area as a Republican. 0.99

00:29:35.000 I think it's from Maine for Collins.

00:29:37.000 Sure, sure.

00:29:37.000 Grandpa has the unique civil liberties standpoint as far as...

00:29:39.000 Yeah, that's the thing.

00:29:40.000 It's like Rand Paul is going to do the libertarian stuff.

00:29:43.000 But still, most of the...

00:29:45.000 And I genuinely believe this.

00:29:47.000 Most of the people that are...

00:29:49.000 Most of the Republicans, they see what happened on...

00:29:56.000 You know, on November 5th with the election.

00:29:58.000 They know that Donald Trump has a mandate.

00:30:00.000 And they also know that if they are pushing back against the president too much, and they're up for election...

00:30:06.000 I mean, senators are every six years, so there's some time in between it.

00:30:10.000 But, like, they know that the Republicans want to get stuff done.

00:30:14.000 There are things that need to happen.

00:30:15.000 And it's good for the country.

00:30:17.000 Just like...

00:30:18.000 I'm sure you're aware of the...

00:30:19.000 Or maybe you're aware of the...

00:30:22.000 One of the rules changes that they want to do so that way you can get amendments back in to bills that are brought to the Senate.

00:30:30.000 Right now, everything is an up or down vote on a huge bill, whatever it is, right?

00:30:33.000 That's a bad thing.

00:30:35.000 You have to be able to put amendments into bills and change stuff around so that way you can take stuff out as well as put stuff in.

00:30:41.000 And that gives power to the Senate.

00:30:43.000 These things are important.

00:30:45.000 And if the Senate has that power, they can actually...

00:30:49.000 Help to do good things.

00:30:51.000 And Donald Trump is a dealmaker.

00:30:52.000 So if he gets what he wants and the senators can put amendments in and they get what they want, then you can see actual progress being made with some serious cutbacks in the bureaucracy.

00:31:06.000 And that's something that the Republicans have been giving lip service to for ages.

00:31:12.000 And honestly, it would be a good thing for America. 0.65

00:31:15.000 So I don't know that there's going to be a lot of people that are going to fight Trump just to fight him.

00:31:19.000 And when it comes to, you know, specifically like using the military to help deport people and stuff, that kind of stuff is something that Rand Paul would always be like, nah, man, nah.

00:31:32.000 I've got to cap it off.

00:31:34.000 CBS merged with Viacom in 2019, then Viacom-CBS merged with Paramount Pictures in 2022, and it's owned now by a company called National Amusements, which is owned by a guy named Sumner Redstone.

00:31:48.000 At some point, there's going to be one media company called News.

00:31:52.000 Yeah, dude.

00:31:53.000 Sumner Redstone's daughter, Shari Redstone, is the chairwoman of national museums.

00:31:57.000 There's already News Corp.

00:31:58.000 Right.

00:31:58.000 It's News Corp.

00:31:59.000 Yeah, but it's not as big.

00:32:00.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:32:02.000 Speaking of fake news, Joe Rogan mocks The View after co-host accused him of believing in dragons.

00:32:09.000 Okay, the first thing I want to do is show you the clip from these...

00:32:13.000 I'm almost like, you know, if I was going to show you a bunch of clucking hens, we can put on Chicken City, but I'll give you The View instead, as they disparage Joe Rogan.

00:32:22.000 People want us divided, and they aren't just here in this country.

00:32:24.000 They're foreign adversaries who are infiltrating our social media because it is prudent for us to stay that way. 1.00

00:32:31.000 So when you see something that really pisses you off, you should triple check that one.

00:32:35.000 But I think that that's why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News.

00:32:41.000 We're checked by everybody.

00:32:42.000 Yeah, I mean, if we're wrong, we have, you know, the legal note here.

00:32:47.000 That is a new development.

00:32:50.000 We went from Walter Cronkite, basically, to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.

00:32:57.000 I checked it.

00:32:58.000 He believes in dragons?

00:32:58.000 Did you triple towards that?

00:33:01.000 Yes, I did.

00:33:02.000 And he also thinks that dragons, I guess like dinosaur-y type of animals, roam the earth when people did.

00:33:08.000 So this is the type of really, really bad information that's going out there.

00:33:13.000 Isn't it funny that she just said, we have legal disclaimers and we're checked by ABC News.

00:33:18.000 Also, Joe Rogan believes in dragons.

00:33:20.000 And so Joe Rogan changed his Twitter bio to Dragon Believer.

00:33:24.000 And that's my new official X description Rogan said, changing his bio to Dragon Believer.

00:33:32.000 He posted the clip.

00:33:36.000 Where do they...

00:33:37.000 Oh, I want to know what he said about dragons that...

00:33:39.000 He probably didn't say anything.

00:33:41.000 There's like terror...

00:33:42.000 No, there's terror birds.

00:33:44.000 They probably found one of those meme clips where it's...

00:33:47.000 Some people will edit podcasts to make jokes and, you know, was it Joy?

00:33:51.000 It was Ping Trip or something?

00:33:53.000 Yeah, and they believe it and they go, wow, he believes in dragons.

00:33:57.000 Or he was talking about like animals.

00:33:58.000 They're like, dude, these are like legit.

00:34:00.000 It's crazy.

00:34:00.000 Like...

00:34:01.000 Or he was smoking weed and it was called like...

00:34:02.000 Dragons.

00:34:03.000 Really?

00:34:04.000 It's a strain of weed called dragons with humans.

00:34:06.000 It's like, oh, didn't you know chickens are still considered dragons, man?

00:34:10.000 And then he's just like, oh yeah, totally, I believe that.

00:34:12.000 There we go.

00:34:12.000 They're like little dinosaurs.

00:34:14.000 Little dinosaurs.

00:34:15.000 Jamie, look that up.

00:34:15.000 The whole tone of these shows, it's amazing because they spend most of their time post-election asking themselves, what's wrong with the country?

00:34:21.000 I don't understand.

00:34:22.000 What's wrong with everybody?

00:34:23.000 And not, what's wrong with us?

00:34:25.000 Yeah, I know.

00:34:26.000 I mean, that's something that I've said a bunch of times.

00:34:28.000 They hate America.

00:34:30.000 On PCC today, we were talking about Ellen DeGeneres and her wife are leaving, and it's like, well, you know, they hate America.

00:34:38.000 They hate the fact that Donald Trump was elected by a majority of the American voting population and by, you know, the Electoral College.

00:34:47.000 It's an elitism, a disdain for those.

00:34:49.000 That's why they keep saying, listen, college-educated women voted for Kamala. 1.00

00:34:52.000 I mean, sort of.

00:34:53.000 That's the facts.

00:34:54.000 And I'm like...

00:34:55.000 Well, maybe college doesn't educate you.

00:34:56.000 That's true.

00:34:57.000 Sort of.

00:34:58.000 But it's not just, it is elitism, but there's also, like, there's people that don't feel any connection to, like, the United States.

00:35:04.000 People that tend to be in, like, that tend to live in cities.

00:35:09.000 Like you can live in London or you could live in Paris or you could live in New York or you could live in LA or you could live in you know any number of cities in the West and it mostly feels the same.

00:35:21.000 You'll get most of the same stuff like you'll get a little bit different food maybe but otherwise it's the same thing.

00:35:26.000 But if you live in the woods or in the in like outside of the major cities it's real different.

00:35:32.000 If you live outside of Phoenix in the desert, it's totally different to living in New England, outside of the city.

00:35:39.000 So that kind of stuff makes a difference.

00:35:41.000 And people that are cosmopolitan, they're just like, whatever, it's all the same to me.

00:35:44.000 I live in a city in the U.S. or London or whatever, and it's all the same.

00:35:49.000 They don't have any connection to where they're from.

00:35:51.000 I'm doing some fact-checking on Rogan's beliefs on dragons.

00:35:54.000 Joe Rogan's Dragon Beliefs.

00:35:55.000 This is from an episode of his podcast with Adrian Lappalucci, if you want to look into it.

00:36:00.000 According to the snippets, he talked about ancient cultures like the Chinese, Japanese, ancient European cultures.

00:36:04.000 He suggested dragons might have been real flying lizards or like flying crocodiles.

00:36:08.000 He said he doesn't necessarily...

00:36:10.000 He's not sold on the fire-breathing aspect, but is convinced that there were large reptilian creatures that were referred to as dragons.

00:36:17.000 Now, I'll to go a step further and suggest it is possible that they had like...

00:36:21.000 Flammable saliva and maybe it was like they clicked something in the back of their throat and could like make a spark.

00:36:27.000 This dragon believer.

00:36:28.000 Just wait till Joy Behar comes after you. 0.56

00:36:30.000 Now you have this guy Tim Poole.

00:36:32.000 They're talking about saliva.

00:36:34.000 Joe Rogan spitballing as a, you know, I bet there probably were stuff like this and then to turn it into he believes that dragons...

00:36:41.000 He suggested that these dragons might have been real.

00:36:43.000 Might have been.

00:36:44.000 Kimono dragons are real.

00:36:46.000 There are giant lizards that are bad.

00:36:51.000 Birds are like flying lizards.

00:36:53.000 I mean, at some point we had dinosaurs.

00:36:56.000 Mika and Joe ended up making up with Donald Trump.

00:36:59.000 Do you think there's any potential for The View to also make up with Donald Trump?

00:37:04.000 Whoopi's a comedian.

00:37:05.000 I could totally see her going on the show.

00:37:06.000 But I don't know.

00:37:07.000 At this point, it's too far gone.

00:37:08.000 It's a real betrayal of sort of the comedian's understanding of things.

00:37:12.000 Like, she comes from that world.

00:37:13.000 We forget because she's been on the show so long.

00:37:16.000 Joe's point is actually really, really simple.

00:37:18.000 You go back 2,000 years or whatever, and you've got a village of 100 people.

00:37:23.000 And, you know, let's just say it's, I don't know, Rome.

00:37:28.000 And what's a Latin name?

00:37:30.000 I don't know, like Lucius or something?

00:37:32.000 Is that Latin?

00:37:32.000 Yeah, Lucius.

00:37:33.000 There you go.

00:37:33.000 And he's like, in Latin, I'm gonna go travel to the next town over to see if they've got metal of some sort.

00:37:40.000 And as he's walking, he's like, boop, boop, boop.

00:37:42.000 And he sees a big lizard!

00:37:44.000 And it's huge!

00:37:46.000 It's like, you know, probably a meter.

00:37:47.000 And then he goes back and he's like, I swear it was as big as this!

00:37:51.000 You know, it was massive.

00:37:51.000 And then some guy was like, did you hear what Lucia said?

00:37:53.000 It was a lizard.

00:37:54.000 It was like six feet tall.

00:37:55.000 Oh yeah.

00:37:55.000 And then some guy's like, I hear there's a six foot tall lizard walking around.

00:37:58.000 And then someone's like, yeah.

00:37:59.000 And it was spitting and screaming, spitting.

00:38:01.000 Wow.

00:38:01.000 Yeah.

00:38:02.000 Spitting fire, they say.

00:38:03.000 And it didn't mean literal fire, but my point is...

00:38:06.000 You know, when you hear these stories about monsters, like the story of this, like where does Cyclops come from?

00:38:11.000 They found an elephant skull.

00:38:12.000 And the nose socket or whatever looks like one.

00:38:16.000 Yeah, they thought it was a Cyclops head.

00:38:17.000 And so then they draw pictures.

00:38:20.000 So you go back far enough and someone's going to be like, I fought a giant beast.

00:38:23.000 It was seven feet tall or they wouldn't say feet or whatever.

00:38:26.000 And it was like a black bear, you know, and then Minotaur was like actually just a bull.

00:38:30.000 Yeah, it was a bull that stood up and, like, you know, trampled somebody.

00:38:34.000 A bull in a maze.

00:38:36.000 Did you see the conversation between Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson?

00:38:38.000 He's like, do you actually believe in dragons or not?

00:38:40.000 You talk about dragons as if they're biological creatures.

00:38:42.000 Do you believe in dragons?

00:38:43.000 What did Jordan Peterson say?

00:38:44.000 Well, he went to the mythological.

00:38:46.000 He was like, take, you know, the most terrifying things you can think of, you know?

00:38:49.000 It's like, well, fire and wings and teeth that can soar through the heavens, you know, and destroy you.

00:38:56.000 You've had your own dragons in your life, you know?

00:38:58.000 To Richard, but he went to the mythology.

00:39:01.000 They were talking cross purposes. 0.56

00:39:02.000 And Jordan Peterson did say that you're a chimpanzee full of snakes. 0.52

00:39:05.000 I wouldn't be surprised if there was glandular fire making. 0.90

00:39:10.000 I do not believe that.

00:39:11.000 I don't think there would be any fossil records of the glands.

00:39:14.000 So I don't know.

00:39:15.000 All that stuff would decompose.

00:39:16.000 Maybe stuff literally could spit flammable fluid.

00:39:19.000 More disturbingly is like they're conflating the idea and they're so threatened by...

00:39:23.000 They're presenting it as if it's this threat that people have conversations.

00:39:26.000 And talk loosely about things.

00:39:28.000 And the fact that they're like, we have to be the controlled center of what is true and not true.

00:39:36.000 We are the ones who tell you and the authority.

00:39:39.000 There's this appeal in this clip that you could see this sort of elitism to.

00:39:42.000 They're so threatened by the popularity of conversation.

00:39:44.000 I don't want to hear anyone on The View telling me that they're going to judge Joe Rogan because he believes in dragons.

00:39:49.000 Because I bet at least one of them believes in astrology.

00:39:52.000 Or that men can get pregnant. 1.00

00:39:53.000 There you go.

00:39:54.000 But wouldn't it be funny if just like a couple thousand years ago there's some Chinese dude and he was like walking between towns and then there's like, I don't know where the Komodo dragons are native to, but let's just say there's like a big lizard somewhere.

00:40:04.000 Yeah.

00:40:04.000 And it runs out of the bush after having just tried to eat a piece of flaming refuse because a lightning strike happened.

00:40:11.000 There you go.

00:40:11.000 And so it runs up and just barfs and this ball of fire falls out.

00:40:14.000 Okay, here we go.

00:40:14.000 There are, the bombardier beetle is a real animal that spits flammable liquid called hydroquinone.

00:40:19.000 It's not flammable.

00:40:21.000 This says...

00:40:21.000 It's boiling, it's not flammable.

00:40:22.000 Yeah, it's a toxic boiling substance.

00:40:24.000 And it doesn't spit.

00:40:25.000 Well, there you go.

00:40:26.000 The chemicals mix in the air and undergo the exothermic heat-releasing chemical reaction.

00:40:30.000 I was literally just looking at Bombardier Beard.

00:40:32.000 Boiling hot, yeah.

00:40:33.000 Irritating boiling hot fluids.

00:40:34.000 So if there was a flying lizard that spit this hydroquinones...

00:40:38.000 What's that shrimp that can snap so hard it creates a plasma blast? 0.57

00:40:43.000 Yeah, what is it?

00:40:44.000 What is it?

00:40:45.000 Pistol shrimp.

00:40:46.000 Yeah, it snaps its little claws so fast, it creates a vacuum which creates a burst of light.

00:40:53.000 It's like Street Fighter shrimp.

00:40:54.000 Yeah, it's like a Hadouken.

00:40:55.000 It's a plasma.

00:40:56.000 Hadouken!

00:40:57.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:40:58.000 You sent us down a rabbit hole.

00:41:00.000 Dangerous shrimp.

00:41:01.000 But this is the nature of the media.

00:41:03.000 They don't like Joe Rogan, and they sit here telling how we tell the truth.

00:41:06.000 Meanwhile, they just spit lies all day to the point where they have to have legal disclaimers.

00:41:10.000 When she's like, we have a legal notice here, the human legal notice, I'm like, that's not a good thing to have to have.

00:41:16.000 That's indicative of how many lies you have.

00:41:19.000 They just released another one.

00:41:20.000 She did another one? 1.00

00:41:21.000 Yeah.

00:41:21.000 Today.

00:41:22.000 Exclaimer?

00:41:23.000 Yeah, another one.

00:41:24.000 I don't think that it was about...

00:41:26.000 Oh, it was Hegseth.

00:41:28.000 Oh, Fox News, they're just like, hey, you'll be hearing from our lawyers, Sonny.

00:41:36.000 Doesn't seem to be working, whatever they keep doing, because judging by the way the cultural tides have turned, it's not working.

00:41:42.000 They're going to go for Pete Hex, Seth Hex, by the way.

00:41:44.000 They're only interested in getting, they're after the awfuls. 0.85

00:41:47.000 They're after the awful viewership, just affluent white ladies. 1.00

00:41:50.000 It's siloing itself off more and more and more the more they double down on it, so it doesn't seem to be.

00:41:55.000 But I don't think that it matters.

00:41:57.000 I don't think that, like, obviously they don't want to, you know, get sued.

00:42:00.000 But beyond, like, legal ramifications, they don't have to say anything that's true.

00:42:06.000 Well, they don't want to get Alex Jones or Fox News.

00:42:08.000 So here's the video.

00:42:10.000 This is from today at 1 p.m.

00:42:12.000 Sonny Hauston has to read another correction on air for false claims she made against Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth.

00:42:17.000 Here you go.

00:42:18.000 I have a legal note.

00:42:20.000 Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime.

00:42:24.000 Gaetz previously dismissed allegations that he paid for sex, saying that, quote, someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward.

00:42:35.000 Another legal note, Pete Hegseth's lawyer said he paid the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit.

00:42:42.000 He has denied any wrongdoing.

00:42:44.000 Just call the show Legal Note from now on.

00:42:49.000 I just gotta point this out.

00:42:51.000 We don't have to do this.

00:42:54.000 Like, we don't have to have a legal notice over the fake things that we say on this show because we don't say fake things.

00:43:01.000 In fact, if a fake thing gets said on the show, we'll actually shut the show down for the integrity of the show.

00:43:07.000 Or correct it in real time.

00:43:08.000 But there have been instances where we've actually terminated the process because integrity is more important than...

00:43:13.000 We have never shut the show down for being wrong.

00:43:16.000 Well, making baseless claims, I think.

00:43:17.000 I've done that once when you were like, it's over.

00:43:20.000 I see what you're saying.

00:43:21.000 Okay, I'm looking a little bit more at...

00:43:23.000 They're trying to avoid a lawsuit here, and they're covering their basis.

00:43:26.000 Obviously, it's horrible to say wrong things about political people and not give their full comments and statements, but they saw what happened to Alex Jones and Sandy Hooks.

00:43:33.000 They're seeing what's happening with Dominion and Fox News.

00:43:36.000 I think there's another polling company that's also suing Fox News.

00:43:39.000 So they don't want a multi-million dollar lawsuit from these very litigious, you know, I'm sure Matt Gaetz and Pete Hetzeth have some of the greatest lawyers around.

00:43:47.000 So we have a correction.

00:43:48.000 Official Lucid Traveler says it's the mantis shrimp.

00:43:51.000 And if a human had the arm strength relative to our size, we could launch a baseball into orbit from a standing position.

00:43:57.000 It's cool.

00:43:57.000 You're gonna get sued by those pistol shrimp now for lying about them.

00:44:00.000 So it creates a vacuum underwater.

00:44:02.000 It forces the water away from each other so there's a vacuum and then there's a burst of light from plasma or something.

00:44:08.000 It's so powerful.

00:44:08.000 For cavitation?

00:44:10.000 Everyone in the ocean is going to think these pistol shrimp are a threat now and a threat and a danger because Tim was spreading fake news. 0.76

00:44:16.000 Apparently there are huge hawks in Australia that carry smoldering sticks in their beaks across everything in Australia wants to kill you though.

00:44:23.000 To intentionally spread Brush fires.

00:44:25.000 Everybody knows.

00:44:25.000 They'll carry flaming things with them.

00:44:27.000 Everybody knows, Ian, that Australia is a high-level zone for endgame players.

00:44:31.000 Maybe people mistook flying hawks with carrying flaming sticks as dragons that fly down and light brush on fire.

00:44:38.000 Be careful.

00:44:38.000 The United States is basically Elwynn Forest.

00:44:41.000 Okay.

00:44:43.000 It's like there's boars everywhere, they can't hurt you, and everything's fine, and you're comfortable, and you just run around, and it's very easy.

00:44:48.000 That's the starting zone for the Alliance in World of Warcraft.

00:44:50.000 You're going to get Joy Behar tomorrow just going after you.

00:44:52.000 Talking about pistol shrimp!

00:44:53.000 Tim Pool thinks that there's a forest of boars where you get experience points in, well, it's called World of Warcraft.

00:45:00.000 Then they're going to read a legal note.

00:45:01.000 We have to say Tim Pool did not actually say...

00:45:03.000 I do want to just mention as we get into the next story too, like World of Warcraft has become a hodgepodge of nonsense.

00:45:09.000 And, you know, all of the, like everything has become hodgepodge nonsense because they're trying to interconnect it.

00:45:14.000 Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's a funny meme where it's like the first movie comes out and they're like, wow, a billionaire in a flying suit.

00:45:20.000 And then it's like 2024 and the multiverse is collapsing.

00:45:24.000 Gods are fighting on the planet.

00:45:25.000 There's a giant hand reaching out from the ocean because the earth is an egg.

00:45:29.000 Like none of it makes sense.

00:45:31.000 The governments are collapsing, there's bombs, just nuts.

00:45:34.000 And then you get games like World of Warcraft where they're like, the new expansion comes out and they're like, now we're underground.

00:45:41.000 And I'm like, you've gone to other dimensions.

00:45:44.000 You've gone to the past, to the future, now underground.

00:45:47.000 Like at a certain point, it's just, you're not expanding the story.

00:45:51.000 You're just throwing random things into the mix.

00:45:54.000 But anyway, I digress.

00:45:55.000 Let's jump to this next story from ABC News.

00:45:57.000 Russia launches new IRBM at Ukraine.

00:46:01.000 Zelensky says Putin is terrified.

00:46:03.000 Officials in Kiev initially said an ICBM had been launched towards Nipro.

00:46:07.000 Now, here's what's interesting about this.

00:46:09.000 The initial reports were that it was a MIRV, a multiple independently targeting reentry vehicle.

00:46:13.000 That's an intercontinental ballistic missile.

00:46:16.000 If that's true, it's the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile in war ever.

00:46:22.000 The U.S. later came out denying it, saying it was not an ICBM. It was an intermediate-ranged ballistic missile.

00:46:30.000 They say it's modeled off of an ICBM that Russia has, but it's not a nuclear weapon.

00:46:36.000 It's an intermediate-range ballistic missile strike.

00:46:39.000 So it's much, much less powerful.

00:46:41.000 But it may actually be Very comparable.

00:46:45.000 If it is modeled off of, I think it's called like the RES-26 or something like that, it would carry four warheads.

00:46:50.000 So it's a smaller-yield weapon, but it's a ballistic missile strike on Kiev.

00:46:54.000 That could explain why Kiev thought it was an ICBM, because it looks very, very much like an ICBM. However, I'll also add, the West, NATO, U.S., could be lying because they are scared that this would be a direct escalation.

00:47:08.000 So let me put it this way.

00:47:09.000 Russia keeps saying, ooh, if you do this, I'll nuke you, but then they don't.

00:47:13.000 The West similarly does not want escalation outside of their control.

00:47:17.000 So if Russia actually did this time launch an ICBM, the West, not wanting to enter the fray on their terms, it's Sun Tzu, would say, no, no, don't worry.

00:47:27.000 It's not an ICBM.

00:47:28.000 It was a ballistic missile strike.

00:47:29.000 It could be.

00:47:30.000 Hold on.

00:47:30.000 An IRBM is essentially the same thing as an ICBM.

00:47:36.000 It's just for a different range.

00:47:37.000 Like it says, an IRBM is a type of ballistic missile with a range between 3,000 and 5,500 kilometers.

00:47:43.000 This category falls between medium-range ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

00:47:48.000 IRBMs are designed for regional targets and often used for military and strategic purposes.

00:47:52.000 Payload capacity, several hundred kilograms.

00:47:56.000 Speed of around Mach 20.

00:47:58.000 A guidance system often using inertial navigation or terrain reference systems.

00:48:03.000 And the ability to carry conventional or nuclear warheads.

00:48:05.000 So it's the same thing as an ICBM.

00:48:07.000 It's just that it doesn't go as far.

00:48:10.000 The differential of ICBM and IR is not about payload capacity.

00:48:14.000 It's not about does it have a nuke or does it not.

00:48:16.000 Because you can have an ICBM without a nuke on board.

00:48:18.000 Right.

00:48:18.000 But it's about how far can they travel.

00:48:19.000 That's all this is.

00:48:20.000 So the question is, have IRBMs been used in war ever?

00:48:23.000 Not that I'm aware of.

00:48:24.000 The reason why they haven't...

00:48:25.000 Well, the R part, I don't know.

00:48:28.000 But I think this is significant because ICBMs are...

00:48:30.000 I think for IRCBMs, they're supposed to be nuclear.

00:48:34.000 It was conventional attacks, but not nuclear.

00:48:36.000 This is the first.

00:48:37.000 Sorry, the Department of Defense is saying this is the first time this weapon has been used.

00:48:42.000 Oh, no, no, no, they're saying on the battlefield in Ukraine.

00:48:44.000 Come on, get specific, guys.

00:48:46.000 This...

00:48:46.000 Both ICBMs, yeah, they're the same thing.

00:48:49.000 ABC News outright says that IRBMs can carry nuclear payloads.

00:48:53.000 It's the RS-26 Rubiz missile, not RES. And technically, from Southeast Asia to Australia, you could hit it with an IRBM, so it would be intercontinental.

00:49:01.000 It's just a different term.

00:49:02.000 I think this is a message to us, not to the Ukrainians. 0.97

00:49:05.000 This is overkill.

00:49:06.000 The Russians didn't need this missile to hit Ukraine.

00:49:08.000 They were just showing that they had the ability to.

00:49:10.000 This legit was a MIRV. I'm telling you, the West saying it's not an ICBM, calm down, is to control public sentiment towards the war.

00:49:18.000 If they come out right now and say, this is no different, this was a MIRV, this is the first time they've used it in combat, a multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle.

00:49:26.000 It's a ballistic missile that shoots in the air and then ejects several payloads that can target independent things.

00:49:32.000 So depending on the power of a MIRV, you can get one that can carry 8 to 12 warheads.

00:49:36.000 One rocket.

00:49:38.000 It has a ridiculous amount of power.

00:49:40.000 And I want to stress this.

00:49:41.000 People need to understand the bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are incredibly, incredibly weak compared to technology that was developed in the 60s.

00:49:49.000 So modern nuclear weapons have around 1,250 times the explosive potential of Little Boy and Fat Man.

00:49:58.000 And those were gravity bombs.

00:49:59.000 Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

00:50:00.000 Right, those were gravity bombs.

00:50:02.000 A bomber flies over the target and drops it.

00:50:05.000 It whistles, then the kinetic impact, boom.

00:50:07.000 Modern weapons are rockets that drop payloads that airburst and then spread all over.

00:50:13.000 It's nuts.

00:50:15.000 The megatons are way, way, way, way more.

00:50:17.000 Right, and the RS-26 has a payload range of 150 kilotons to 300 kilotons, which would, if a missile of that power, just one of its warheads, unless they're multiplying by four, but assuming that each warhead is going to be in that range, between 150 and 300 would eliminate the entire metro area of Washington, D.C., I don't want to mince words.

00:50:40.000 This is obviously an escalation.

00:50:41.000 I will say, though, I do think Russia is treading lightly, though, because according to Reuters, at least, a US official said Russia notified Washington before its strike.

00:50:50.000 And while another official said the US has briefed Kiev and its allies to prepare for the possible use of such a weapon, they did not want the Americans to confuse this for an attack on them.

00:50:57.000 Exactly.

00:50:58.000 They did not want them to.

00:51:00.000 Well, the whole point was they didn't, because the U.S. and other countries, obviously, but because the U.S. does have advanced monitoring systems, a missile like this, when it launches, it took like five minutes was the actual travel time, but a missile like that, within one minute, I read a book by, I forget the woman's name, but she was talking about what happens in a nuclear war.

00:51:20.000 Just on Joe Rogan a couple months ago or whatever.

00:51:23.000 A nuclear war.

00:51:24.000 What can happen?

00:51:25.000 So I read her book and it's really good, but they know about the launches within 30 seconds.

00:51:34.000 They have a trajectory within the first few minutes, I think seven minutes or something like that.

00:51:39.000 So the Russians use the existing communication lines for nuclear launches.

00:51:47.000 To connect with the United States and say, hey, we're going to do this just so you know it's not a nuke.

00:51:53.000 And it's not coming to you.

00:51:54.000 It's hitting Ukraine. 0.83

00:51:55.000 Also, it sounds like it was a warning shot from the Russians saying, this could have had nukes on board, by the way.

00:52:01.000 It's a dry run.

00:52:02.000 It's a flex of capability.

00:52:04.000 To just show what they're capable of doing.

00:52:06.000 Well, that's all Russia has left. 0.66

00:52:07.000 This kind of nuclear saber rattling.

00:52:10.000 Conventionally, I think they are failing to achieve what their initial military goals were in Ukraine.

00:52:14.000 And now, Putin's best weapon right now is trying to scare people into thinking that he would use nuclear weapons.

00:52:20.000 Yeah, and hold off for two months until Trump's in office.

00:52:22.000 I just did post a thing.

00:52:24.000 I wasn't able to confirm or deny it, but that Putin's basically saying, when Trump's in office, I'm open to discussing the ceasefire.

00:52:31.000 Let's get this over.

00:52:31.000 Ugh.

00:52:32.000 I don't think...

00:52:32.000 It's so interesting because I hope Trump will be able to come to some sort of agreement between Putin and Zelensky and Ukraine.

00:52:39.000 But I just don't see the interests aligning up like that.

00:52:42.000 I don't think the Ukrainians want to give up any of their sovereign territory.

00:52:45.000 A lot of pro-Ukrainian people still think they want to liberate Crimea, which I don't think is ever happening.

00:52:51.000 While on the other side, I think it's within Putin's geopolitical interest to continue pushing west.

00:52:55.000 He didn't think he got enough of Ukraine.

00:52:57.000 I think he wanted to go up until at least Kiev early on in the war.

00:53:01.000 I think that was his objective.

00:53:02.000 If he kept pushing, I would advocate for war against the Russians. 1.00

00:53:05.000 Oh, I think he was successful.

00:53:06.000 If he kept conquering West, that's crazy.

00:53:08.000 If he got to Kiev, I mean, I think that was his goal.

00:53:11.000 At ease of the Donbass, I understand that he wants access to the Black Sea for portage.

00:53:15.000 You think he just wants up until the Donbass, though?

00:53:17.000 Yeah, I think they want to transport steel through the Black Sea into the Mediterranean.

00:53:21.000 You think he'd be satisfied with the Donbass?

00:53:23.000 20 to 30% enhancing their GDP as a result of trade?

00:53:26.000 Ian and Elahad, there is a reason that NATO exists, right?

00:53:31.000 Ukraine is not NATO. Oh, I didn't say go to war with them.

00:53:34.000 Okay, so, but...

00:53:35.000 Ukraine.

00:53:37.000 Poland is a NATO country now, right?

00:53:39.000 And it borders Ukraine.

00:53:41.000 You do not need to go to war for Ukraine.

00:53:44.000 You do not need to go to war with Russia, like direct war with the United States and Russia for Ukraine.

00:53:50.000 If they were to attack Poland, then things are different because of NATO. Do you think we should go to war with Russia if they were to invade Poland?

00:53:59.000 Because I think for most people, you say that's a contractual agreement.

00:54:02.000 You'd have to...

00:54:03.000 They don't even know the difference.

00:54:04.000 The treaty alliance would require it.

00:54:06.000 Yeah, but that's on paper.

00:54:08.000 People understand the difference between NATO and non-NATO countries.

00:54:12.000 At least I think...

00:54:13.000 Isn't that the crux of the issue?

00:54:14.000 Yeah, that's the whole point of me saying this.

00:54:18.000 Like Ian said, go to war over Ukraine.

00:54:23.000 The whole point is Russia doesn't want... 0.92

00:54:27.000 NATO expansion into Ukraine.

00:54:29.000 Doesn't want the United States to go and be defending Ukraine.

00:54:33.000 That's what Russia said.

00:54:34.000 I agree.

00:54:34.000 And so, like, to go to war over Ukraine, that's insane.

00:54:39.000 It would be about the belligerents.

00:54:40.000 If he was actually trying to conquer Europe, which I don't think he is, if he showed his hands like, look, I really do want to conquer, then it's like, no, no, no.

00:54:47.000 Hit her 3.0, we're not going there.

00:54:49.000 That's what I said, though.

00:54:50.000 That's what I said when I said...

00:54:53.000 It doesn't matter if Putin wants to conquer Europe or not.

00:54:58.000 The wars that we're facing are not just some evil guy towing his mustache, Vladimir Putin sitting in his chair and being like, we will take all of Russia now.

00:55:05.000 No, he's saying we need access to Crimea.

00:55:07.000 We are not giving up a multi-billion dollar industrial port and where our Black Sea fleet is stationed.

00:55:14.000 And this is where we do a lot of our trade.

00:55:15.000 And we will secure a land bridge.

00:55:17.000 And we will secure the Sea of – what is it?

00:55:19.000 The Sea of Azov.

00:55:20.000 Is that what it's called?

00:55:21.000 Yeah.

00:55:21.000 And he says, we're going to have that.

00:55:23.000 Then what happens is the U.S. gets involved in supplying weapons.

00:55:26.000 Then we blow up their flagship.

00:55:28.000 Then Russia says they're attacking us when we're trying to secure this resource.

00:55:32.000 How do we stop them?

00:55:33.000 We're going to have to push them beyond the borders of the regions we have to control.

00:55:36.000 Then you get Belarus involved. 0.81

00:55:38.000 Then all of a sudden, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland are saying Belarus is mobilizing and they're transporting weapons in Belarus.

00:55:43.000 So Poland starts mobilizing.

00:55:44.000 Now you've got Germany calling up 800,000 troops.

00:55:47.000 It's not because any one side is trying to conquer.

00:55:49.000 It's because there's one point where both sides bump into each other and then they keep saying, I'm going to win.

00:55:55.000 No, you're not.

00:55:56.000 It's a game of chicken that both people are going to crash into each other.

00:55:58.000 You don't need Putin saying, I want to take over Europe to get full scale World War three.

00:56:02.000 Putin can say to China, look, if we lose access to Sevastopol and to this base, we is going to decimate our economy and it's going to give NATO too much control.

00:56:12.000 Give us weapons and troops and we'll end this quickly.

00:56:16.000 China, now they've detained a Chinese vessel in the Baltic that Denmark is accusing of severing communications cables, which people fear may be a precursor to a larger scale attack.

00:56:25.000 If China is involved and trying to grab some plausible deniability, this could escalate then with the U.S. saying, now we're going to put sanctions on China because you did this.

00:56:35.000 All of it is dominoes falling over.

00:56:38.000 Nobody wants war.

00:56:39.000 War is a last resort.

00:56:41.000 And this is a fact.

00:56:43.000 There's a lot of people who say, no, the war machine, they want war.

00:56:45.000 I get that.

00:56:46.000 I get that.

00:56:47.000 The war machine makes money by selling weapons, all these things.

00:56:49.000 What I'm saying is, for governments, what they want is money.

00:56:52.000 For the military industrial complex, they don't necessarily want war.

00:56:55.000 They want sales.

00:56:57.000 And so for Russia, they're thinking, we want to increase our economy.

00:57:00.000 We want to get more for our people.

00:57:02.000 Putin's saying largely for himself.

00:57:03.000 And how do you do that?

00:57:05.000 Well, we need access here.

00:57:06.000 NATO is saying...

00:57:07.000 Russia's charging us too much and we need cheaper energy to Europe so that we can get costs down and expand the European economic block so that we can compete with China.

00:57:14.000 So they claim both sides are fighting over limited resources and it's going to be dominoes falling over and it could potentially bubble up into something crazy unless, and this one's easy, Donald Trump intervenes in two months and says, we are done.

00:57:29.000 It is better to accept the loss of L'Hans, Donets, Mariupol, and Zaporizhia.

00:57:34.000 And I guess, what is that also?

00:57:36.000 Kurson?

00:57:37.000 If it means no World War III, we don't care about Ukraine. 0.89

00:57:41.000 Give...

00:57:42.000 Step back.

00:57:43.000 Russia takes this territory.

00:57:45.000 There's sanctions.

00:57:46.000 There's penalties.

00:57:47.000 Whatever it might be.

00:57:48.000 But there's no reason to do a tit-for-tit that expands to the point where they're going to start firing more ICBMs or IRBMs.

00:57:53.000 Do you believe that Russia would be satisfied with just the Donbass and Crimea? 0.74

00:57:57.000 Okay.

00:57:57.000 Do you think there's some kind of...

00:58:00.000 Like, aspirational goal of Soviet bloc dominance that motivates Putin to have some sort of regional...

00:58:05.000 I think they want defendable borders.

00:58:07.000 100%.

00:58:07.000 This, like, Greater Rus ideology.

00:58:10.000 Soviet empire.

00:58:10.000 100%.

00:58:11.000 I'm very much into that.

00:58:11.000 Vladimir Putin is mad that the Soviet Union collapsed.

00:58:14.000 He didn't think it needed to happen.

00:58:15.000 And he's been trying to rebuild it with the Russian Federal...

00:58:18.000 It's the Federation Trade...

00:58:19.000 What is it?

00:58:20.000 Whatever it's called.

00:58:20.000 The Russian Federation Trade Bloc or whatever.

00:58:23.000 The conflict in Ukraine, as complicated as it is, one component, is that before Yanukovych was ousted...

00:58:29.000 NATO and the EU were offering up deals to Yanukovych saying, hey, open up trade with Europe.

00:58:36.000 Do these things.

00:58:37.000 We're going to normalize your economy.

00:58:38.000 It's going to be able to join the EU, the Schengen zone, all that.

00:58:41.000 Your citizens will come and go as they please.

00:58:42.000 Vladimir Putin said, if you open up trade to Europe and you have free trade with us, that means Russian goods are going to flood into Russia and displace our manufacturing base.

00:58:51.000 We can't have free imports.

00:58:52.000 There has to be some controls on it.

00:58:54.000 European goods into Ukraine?

00:58:56.000 So...

00:58:57.000 Let me rephrase.

00:58:58.000 He might have misspoke.

00:58:59.000 He said Russian goods will flow into Russia.

00:59:00.000 European goods will flow through Ukraine and then because Ukraine has free trade with Russia, into Russia.

00:59:07.000 Russia is basically saying, if we make a t-shirt here and they start making it cheaper over there and then it comes into Russia, we lose jobs.

00:59:13.000 We can't do that.

00:59:13.000 So they said to Ukraine, you're going to have to choose whether you want free trade with Europe or free trade with us.

00:59:19.000 Yanukovych then says, oh, boy, we got some leverage.

00:59:22.000 The West then says, yeah, and we've got the CIA.

00:59:25.000 So you get bubbling up protests.

00:59:26.000 I'm not saying the CIA directly orchestrated this.

00:59:28.000 I'm saying they have soft power and manipulation telling Ukraine you're going to go this route. 0.99

00:59:33.000 Yanukovych tried playing both.

00:59:34.000 He gets ousted, flees to Russia.

00:59:36.000 They install a more positive government that favors NATO and the EU. Vladimir Putin says, okay, now we're going to lose access to our industrial port and our Black Sea fleet staging area, which is the naval base in Sevastopol.

00:59:52.000 They are not satisfied with a single bridge in the Kerch Strait.

00:59:59.000 That's east, yeah.

01:00:00.000 Right.

01:00:00.000 And so that got bombed recently.

01:00:02.000 So Russia's thinking, we need stronger control and access to this region.

01:00:06.000 So of course, they're going to take these regions so they can secure Sevastopol. 0.97

01:00:10.000 Many people have said, but Tim, why don't they just build in Sochi and build a naval base there?

01:00:15.000 You're telling Russia, abandon military technology, engineering, and a base they've been using since the Soviet Union.

01:00:22.000 They're just going to say, no, it's hundreds of millions of dollars and it's control and access.

01:00:28.000 They're not just giving up the technology.

01:00:29.000 They're not just giving up the infrastructure.

01:00:31.000 They're giving up this regional control, this regional port.

01:00:34.000 So then they're going to try and take this.

01:00:36.000 Now it's possible Russia tries to push in for more.

01:00:38.000 I doubt it.

01:00:39.000 And I think the issue is that...

01:00:42.000 Already, you have Estonia and Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, they're in NATO, and Ukraine now is inching towards it, and they're saying they want to do that.

01:00:53.000 Russia's basically like, okay, so on our entire border is one military alliance.

01:00:58.000 As many people have said, we would not tolerate if Russia started arming Mexicans and the cartels were fighting and stuff either.

01:01:05.000 I'm not saying Russia's right. 0.98

01:01:07.000 Russia's invasion was wrong. 0.98

01:01:08.000 I'm just saying they may stop with taking the Donbass.

01:01:11.000 And it's not just that.

01:01:12.000 It's Luhansk, Donetsk, Mariupol, Kherson, Zaporizhia, and then they control Crimea already.

01:01:17.000 Russia's so big, man.

01:01:18.000 They have all that other stuff.

01:01:19.000 They need energy.

01:01:20.000 They got all that.

01:01:21.000 Do you ever look at the globe and be like, Man, Russia's big.

01:01:24.000 Yeah.

01:01:25.000 You know what I mean?

01:01:25.000 Some of those maps are- Just as a counter to what you just- But most of it- There's a lot of it that's frozen, man.

01:01:30.000 It's like big.

01:01:31.000 No, I know.

01:01:31.000 It is big.

01:01:32.000 It's got more surface air than Pluto.

01:01:33.000 Yeah.

01:01:33.000 So I read on the internet one time.

01:01:35.000 Well, let's do this.

01:01:36.000 And they have dragons.

01:01:37.000 Possibly true.

01:01:37.000 As I'm talking about Russia and the conflict, we have this story from Fox News.

01:01:43.000 Caravan of 1,500 migrants forms in Mexico.

01:01:46.000 They hope to reach the U.S. before President-elect Trump takes office in January.

01:01:50.000 My proposal right now is any one of these...

01:01:53.000 individuals.

01:01:53.000 In fact, nay, any individual from the point that Trump was was formally declared the winner should get an aggravated criminal charge for entering the United States.

01:02:03.000 Yeah, because it is apparent now by popular mandate that the that immigration is a problem that people want stopped the entire Rio Grande Valley, all the southern border counties said voting Republican major shift, make this stop.

01:02:16.000 These people have outright said to themselves, the American people have rejected us.

01:02:21.000 We better run full speed to kick the door in before they can stop us.

01:02:25.000 I say, okay, you want to play hardball?

01:02:27.000 Aggravated charges, escalated charges to some degree for knowingly coming in at this point trying to bypass the popular mandate of these people.

01:02:35.000 It feels like we're at a crossroads when it comes to this immigration issue.

01:02:38.000 Either we have a serious border that you legally you cannot cross and there will be penalties for crossing or you do not.

01:02:44.000 It's the biggest insult.

01:02:46.000 It is such a spit in the face to every legal migrant that ever came to this country for you to just cross the line and then get privileged access to what you come to New York City. 1.00

01:02:54.000 You're going to get a free hotel.

01:02:55.000 You're going to be well fed.

01:02:56.000 Come with your entire family.

01:02:58.000 We'll treat you very well. 0.85

01:02:59.000 Not only that, you want to leave to another state, even though you may have shoplifted or committed a crime in New York, we'll buy a bus ticket for you to leave the state and go to, I don't know, some random Midwestern state where you could go and assault and then murder a jogger, a young woman, a young female jogger.

01:03:15.000 And, you know, nobody cares.

01:03:18.000 This is the case of Lake and Riley that has been so pivotal and significant in this past election.

01:03:23.000 That video they released of the mom being informed, it's worse than any horror movie you've ever seen.

01:03:32.000 It's a little off.

01:03:33.000 Daniel Penny also.

01:03:34.000 We can talk about that maybe on the after show.

01:03:36.000 His interrogation got released.

01:03:37.000 That was a different story completely.

01:03:40.000 Yeah, the Lake and Riley thing.

01:03:41.000 The guy got found guilty on ten counts.

01:03:44.000 He was found guilty of multiple things before this.

01:03:46.000 He came here illegally. 0.85

01:03:47.000 He was given all of these accommodations in New York City.

01:03:49.000 He committed crimes in New York City.

01:03:51.000 He was given a bus ticket to leave New York City to, I forget which state he eventually went to.

01:03:56.000 Georgia?

01:03:57.000 I think it was Georgia.

01:03:58.000 I don't want to guess.

01:03:58.000 No, I do believe it was Georgia, where he was living next to a college campus where a jog in Lincoln Riley was.

01:04:03.000 And now the American Girl's dead?

01:04:05.000 Because of that?

01:04:06.000 I think, what's the ultimate deterrence?

01:04:09.000 Force?

01:04:10.000 A force on the border?

01:04:11.000 You know, it's just about, can the American people...

01:04:14.000 I don't want to spark a revolution inside the country because people are like, you can't harm them!

01:04:19.000 Can the American stomach a mass deportation effort from Donald Trump?

01:04:24.000 We should test and find out.

01:04:26.000 Well, here's the thing.

01:04:27.000 You have to also...

01:04:28.000 Understand that you can make easily common sense distinctions between criminals and violent criminals and prioritize who you're going to deport.

01:04:38.000 Sure.

01:04:38.000 Because even practically speaking, there's only a certain thing you can do before you start.

01:04:43.000 Not to say that crossing the border illegally is not a crime, but there is a prioritization of violent criminals and being able to have that conversation honestly.

01:04:52.000 I think we're at a point now where you can do that.

01:04:54.000 What's interesting is that during the campaign...

01:04:57.000 Like Kamala Harris was trying to outperform Trump on her stance on immigration out of nowhere. 1.00

01:05:03.000 Remember, what was interesting was back in the day, 2016, 2020, Trump's views on immigration were seen as totally controversial, xenophobic, racist.

01:05:10.000 And then the common sense meter moved in his favor and the Democrats are trying to say, we're good on it now.

01:05:14.000 And now that he's won, but Biden's still president, what's happening?

01:05:17.000 Which is really interesting.

01:05:18.000 Like, did they just drop that as a talking point?

01:05:20.000 You sort of show your cards when you do.

01:05:21.000 In 2016, when Trump first started talking about immigration, I had no sense that immigration was a problem.

01:05:27.000 I was like, really?

01:05:31.000 Is there a problem with immigration?

01:05:32.000 I mean, being from New England, it wasn't something that touched my area, part of the country, at least very deeply.

01:05:40.000 He spoke about it rather provocatively.

01:05:42.000 He did, he did.

01:05:43.000 They're bringing drugs.

01:05:44.000 They're bringing crime.

01:05:45.000 The truth of the matter is he was right, and not only was he right then, the Democrats doubled down on all their policies, and I've talked about this multiple times, but I'm going to talk about it again.

01:05:57.000 The...

01:05:58.000 The HHS, the Department of Health and Human Services, has a program called the Refugee Resettlement Program.

01:06:04.000 You can go to their website and look it up.

01:06:06.000 The last time it was updated was 2021. And this program is the program that they use to take people that come to the country and say, I'm looking for asylum.

01:06:15.000 And they put them on planes and put them on buses and they send them to places that are purple states. 0.64

01:06:22.000 So they send them to, they were sending them to Ohio. 0.77

01:06:24.000 That's why Springfield, Ohio got all the attention that it did.

01:06:27.000 Because they were sending people using tax money, using federal dollars to relocate these people to places with the intent, with the goal of turning them from purple to blue.

01:06:41.000 And that's what Elon Musk has talked about.

01:06:44.000 And people were saying, "Oh, that's not true, not true." And if you are interested in looking to find out about the program, like I said, you can go to the HHS website.

01:06:52.000 It's called the Refugee Resettlement Program.

01:06:54.000 It is as real as all of us sitting around the table.

01:06:58.000 And this is something that the government is doing, not just Democrats, but the government is doing because the government is run by Democrats, essentially.

01:07:08.000 And most bureaucrats are Democrats.

01:07:11.000 It was 95% of D.C. voted for Kamala Harris. 0.95

01:07:14.000 It is so unrepresentative of the United States.

01:07:17.000 But it's because the Democrats want to have a permanent one-party control of the United States.

01:07:25.000 And the means that they're trying to do is by changing the makeup of the states.

01:07:31.000 And it's funny because they may have accidentally done the inverse.

01:07:35.000 Hispanics voted for Trump.

01:07:36.000 Right.

01:07:37.000 Maybe we don't deport them.

01:07:38.000 They've created this Republican coalition.

01:07:40.000 Well, the people here who are Hispanic and can vote don't get deported.

01:07:43.000 But the Democrats are literally making that argument.

01:07:45.000 They're saying Trump's going to deport legal Latinos who live in this country.

01:07:49.000 It's like, what?

01:07:49.000 He's not going to deport Americans.

01:07:50.000 They see everything through the lens of identity and not the lens of people who are just thinking ideas generated.

01:07:55.000 But here's the best part.

01:07:57.000 Democrats, we were terrified, we're trying to secure a permanent majority single party rule, but they have gone so insane that now there's a debate inside the Democratic Party that they're either too woke or not economically populist enough, and both sides don't agree.

01:08:11.000 Turning on each other in the way.

01:08:12.000 They've basically split two parties.

01:08:14.000 The far left party that says we should be more woke.

01:08:17.000 We should talk about helping people.

01:08:18.000 And the more moderate side of traditional Democrats saying we need to focus on union workers.

01:08:22.000 And the Republicans are like, you know what?

01:08:24.000 We already do that and we're not crazy.

01:08:26.000 So we're good.

01:08:28.000 And we just won.

01:08:29.000 That's why.

01:08:29.000 I bet there are illegal immigrants, some of them that are just super legitimate humans who would make great citizens, have they come in the right way, that are like, there are too many illegal immigrants in this country.

01:08:40.000 I bet it's gotten to that point.

01:08:42.000 It's unlikely that illegal immigrants are people that are extremely skilled or whatever. 1.00

01:08:47.000 Most of the people that are here that are coming illegally are coming illegally because they don't have they don't have money.

01:08:53.000 They don't have means to get here.

01:08:55.000 They don't have connections.

01:08:57.000 If you're if you're a really smart person that that excels in your home country, you have some kind of means like the one of the people that want to come here legally.

01:09:07.000 But the people that come here legally are the people that are doctors and have have, you know, either a business mind or they they own property in their in their countries and they want to they want to move from there to here.

01:09:19.000 But the people that come here illegally, they're not... 0.96

01:09:21.000 I would have said tongue-in-cheek, like, it would be a funny sketch for Seamus to do of a guy who came here illegally in 2015 who's like, I can't take all these illegal immigrants. 1.00

01:09:30.000 Like, he's just...

01:09:31.000 Because he's actually, like... 1.00

01:09:33.000 Because not all of them are obviously stupid, dumb, idiot, useless. 1.00

01:09:37.000 No, they're just average. 1.00

01:09:39.000 You don't want to generalize.

01:09:40.000 But isn't there something to be said about anyone who wants to leave the conditions of a country that they don't like is resourceful enough to say, motivated enough to say, ambitious enough to say that they want better for their families?

01:09:49.000 Is it incumbent upon us to take them in?

01:09:51.000 No, I'm not making the argument.

01:09:53.000 You've got to go through legal ports of entries and go through the process and respect the process.

01:09:56.000 But in general, someone who's willing to uproot themselves and leave does possess, more likely than not, A certain drive or motivation to improve their situation.

01:10:05.000 It did seem like that over the decade, you'd think, but then when there's NGOs that are ushering them along and making profit doing it, I wonder if they're just actually being trafficked.

01:10:14.000 It also just...

01:10:15.000 Immigration is a very... 1.00

01:10:16.000 There's plenty of trafficking.

01:10:17.000 The term immigration... 0.55

01:10:18.000 Immigrants, depending on where they come from, are completely different people, and it's a very complicated subject because...

01:10:24.000 Immigrants, and immigration is not a monolith.

01:10:26.000 It all depends on the culture that people come from, the backgrounds, the things that they bring with them, and you have to assess that on a case-by-case basis.

01:10:33.000 I think we're in a period now which is, the good thing is that in a post-woke world, people can express opinions and not presume to be malicious.

01:10:42.000 They can express their concerns without people presuming, you know...

01:10:46.000 We need a moratorium, baby.

01:10:47.000 I think we need a decade-long assimilation period for everybody who's here. 1.00

01:10:50.000 I used to have a negative view about that.

01:10:53.000 I'm more and more...

01:10:56.000 I've warmed to that view significantly.

01:10:58.000 I think we also need to address, it's not only mass deportations that need to happen.

01:11:03.000 Big business is in cahoots with illegal immigrants because they are the ones who pay them. 1.00

01:11:08.000 So if we went after the big businesses who were paying these illegal migrants, they wouldn't have as much incentive to come here. 0.94

01:11:14.000 They wouldn't have the means to stay and remain here, and they'd have to leave.

01:11:18.000 So there are multiple methods that we have to adjust this from.

01:11:21.000 We won't be able to mass deport everybody.

01:11:22.000 We need to change the incentive structure around them.

01:11:25.000 We've been allowing big business to, frankly, take advantage of these illegal migrants, and that's why they come and stay here. 1.00

01:11:33.000 Stop that incentive structure. 0.76

01:11:34.000 And also, if you have a welfare state, you have a problem if you have mass immigration plus a welfare state, which can drain money.

01:11:40.000 Even without the welfare state, though.

01:11:42.000 But I agree with you, it makes it worse, but...

01:11:44.000 What is it, $3,500 a month they get on a credit card of federal dollars?

01:11:48.000 No, but in general, you do need an enforced border for a nation's sovereignty.

01:11:52.000 If you're an illegal migrant and you come to New York, you will have all accommodation provided to you. 0.97

01:11:56.000 And if you want to leave, they'll also provide accommodation for you to leave.

01:12:00.000 Let's jump to this story from Fox Business.

01:12:02.000 Lifelong Jaguar customer troubled by baffling woke rebrand going in a very sad direction.

01:12:08.000 What I really love about this commercial, if you guys haven't seen it, is that it's, I don't know if it's so much as woke as it tries to be like futurist, post-modernist art style and just not Jaguar.

01:12:19.000 So they've got a bunch of different people wearing weird clothes with weird makeup and I guess no eyebrows.

01:12:25.000 Some have eyebrows.

01:12:26.000 And this image, for instance, is really funny because it says break molds.

01:12:30.000 There's a U in molds, but we get it.

01:12:31.000 You're British. 0.82

01:12:32.000 And there's another tag that said copy nothing.

01:12:35.000 And everyone's showing this image alongside the Apple 1984 ad where it's a woman wearing orange and white with a sledgehammer and blonde hair.

01:12:43.000 And they're like, it's like the same thing.

01:12:45.000 I think that's a man.

01:12:46.000 Okay, well, perhaps.

01:12:48.000 So the issue now is, oh, and they're comparing it to Bud Light.

01:12:52.000 So here's the thing.

01:12:53.000 I kind of feel like we should watch this video.

01:12:57.000 It's a three minute and 50 second long video.

01:13:00.000 And this is tough because I'm like, I can't show you the context of Volvo's commercial because it's a it's a 350 minute long story.

01:13:07.000 But perhaps we should just watch right now and react to it.

01:13:10.000 This commercial.

01:13:11.000 Okay, so let me break it down.

01:13:13.000 The Jaguar commercial was weird, cringe and probably produced before the election.

01:13:19.000 Now they probably regret it, but they launched it anyway.

01:13:23.000 Everyone is singing the praises of this Volvo video.

01:13:25.000 This guy, Juliam Huynh, says Volvo posted a three minute, 46 second long ad on Instagram shot by Hoyt Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Innisteller and Oppenheimer.

01:13:36.000 It goes against every single rule you can think of about, think about as a social lead length format overproduced.

01:13:43.000 Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set.

01:13:47.000 It's effing fantastic.

01:13:50.000 Now, it's an ad and if I got to say it normally, I'd say, let's play some clips so you can No, no, no.

01:13:56.000 I think we gotta watch this in full because the context around this is extremely important.

01:14:00.000 The video is a short film.

01:14:03.000 It's tremendously important culturally.

01:14:05.000 For what the future of this country and the countries it's advertising to, what it means.

01:14:10.000 And it's a car commercial.

01:14:13.000 So just watch this.

01:14:15.000 And I will say this, when I first saw it, I'm going, yeah, yeah, okay, I get where they're going, I get it. 0.59

01:14:19.000 And then the ending hit and I went, holy crap.

01:14:22.000 Check it out. 0.93

01:14:24.000 Hey.

01:14:25.000 Hey.

01:14:28.000 You okay?

01:14:30.000 Yeah.

01:14:33.000 For those that are just listening, she pulls out a pregnancy test.

01:14:48.000 Pregnancy Test Hey, love. 0.92

01:14:53.000 Hey, Mum.

01:14:54.000 How are you guys?

01:14:55.000 How are you doing?

01:14:56.000 Yeah.

01:14:56.000 Yeah, we're good.

01:14:59.000 Something wrong?

01:15:01.000 Yeah.

01:15:02.000 No, no, no, no, but we've, uh...

01:15:06.000 We've actually got something to tell you.

01:15:10.000 Kate's pregnant. 0.99

01:15:12.000 Oh, Andy, you're joking.

01:15:13.000 You're gonna be her grandma.

01:15:17.000 I'm scared, Mum.

01:15:19.000 Why are you scared?

01:15:20.000 About it all, you know?

01:15:22.000 The nights, the responsibility.

01:15:25.000 We're going to need a bigger place.

01:15:26.000 Can I help with all that?

01:15:27.000 I know.

01:15:28.000 Bless you.

01:15:29.000 I'm so sweet.

01:15:31.000 I've got this feeling that we're going to have a daughter just as stubborn as her mum.

01:15:37.000 Well, hopefully not.

01:15:38.000 The family's love.

01:15:40.000 That's a legacy she might have to live with. 0.68

01:15:44.000 She might be the reason we're tired or not.

01:15:50.000 What if I don't do good in class?

01:15:53.000 I just want to say and do the right things, you know?

01:16:00.000 If I want to see the world with her, I'll also be happy staying home, doing nothing, letting her be a kid.

01:16:10.000 Are you awake?

01:16:17.000 Number 32. Thank you.

01:16:20.000 I want to see her fall in love.

01:16:23.000 But I also know what that means.

01:16:26.000 And I know she's going to bend the rules just like I did.

01:16:32.000 And one day, I'll have to let her go.

01:16:34.000 I'm excited to hear what she learns about the world herself.

01:16:42.000 She adores.

01:16:45.000 She hates.

01:16:49.000 I hope she likes the name Giffa.

01:16:53.000 Have you thought of that name?

01:16:56.000 It all depends.

01:17:00.000 Like...

01:17:06.000 Now.

01:17:07.000 It says sometimes the moments that never happen matter the most.

01:17:21.000 *Sigh* And he's in a hospital.

01:17:48.000 She gave birth to their daughter.

01:17:50.000 And then it shows the accident that didn't happen because Volvo has good brakes.

01:17:58.000 This is so good.

01:18:01.000 It's really, really good.

01:18:03.000 Choked up a little bit.

01:18:04.000 Yeah, when I first started watching this commercial, and the reason why we had to play it in full, the context in order for us to comment on, we can't just tell you what happens.

01:18:15.000 You have to sort of experience it.

01:18:16.000 I know for people listening, it was much more difficult.

01:18:18.000 But it starts off with, we're having a kid, and I was like, I get it, I get it, I know everybody likes it, because we saw that one other commercial where the guy and the woman are having a kid and everyone celebrated it.

01:18:27.000 But they literally turned it into this A-B plot where he's talking about how happy he is to finally have a child and how he's scared of the responsibility.

01:18:35.000 And then the B plot is his wife was pregnant, buying food, about to cross a street, and then a car is about to hit her.

01:18:44.000 And it's a Volvo.

01:18:45.000 And the brakes are so good she doesn't die.

01:18:47.000 And his child lives.

01:18:49.000 And the reason why I think it's so powerful is you take a look at what Jaguar is doing with this weird, creepy, futuristic art garbage.

01:18:55.000 You look at these companies that are telling people that families are bad or that you should be guilty for having kids.

01:19:01.000 And Volvo's like, let's do a commercial that's a short film celebrating having a family and showing you that our vehicles are safe as the twist.

01:19:08.000 And it's like, that's what commercials should be.

01:19:11.000 And so we should encourage more commercials like this.

01:19:14.000 Now I want to buy a Volvo.

01:19:15.000 Let's show the Jaguar commercial back now.

01:19:17.000 Now we have some reference.

01:19:19.000 This is what you're up against.

01:19:20.000 Yeah, let me pull up the Jaguar commercial.

01:19:22.000 The first thing I thought when I saw the Jaguar commercial was Grace Jones from the 80s.

01:19:26.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:19:27.000 Copy nothing.

01:19:27.000 Yeah.

01:19:29.000 Copy nothing, but it's like, well, this is just androgyny from the 80s.

01:19:32.000 What are you talking about?

01:19:33.000 Copy nothing.

01:19:33.000 You'll see it early on, and they make a statement like, it's all about joy and happiness, and everyone looks miserable.

01:19:39.000 Is it 30 seconds?

01:19:40.000 Is that it?

01:19:41.000 Yeah, it's a short one.

01:19:42.000 All right, here you go.

01:19:42.000 And it's painfully bad.

01:19:44.000 It's just, it's painfully bad.

01:19:46.000 Here we go.

01:19:47.000 We're exuberant.

01:19:47.000 That's it.

01:19:47.000 And everyone looks miserable.

01:19:48.000 Live vivid.

01:19:58.000 Delete ordinary.

01:20:01.000 Break molds.

01:20:05.000 Should have done the VF.

01:20:06.000 Otherwise, people listening just hear weird music.

01:20:10.000 And then it's a bunch of weird makeup people copy nothing.

01:20:14.000 On Mars.

01:20:16.000 They changed the logo.

01:20:18.000 I don't necessarily think it's fair to call it woke.

01:20:20.000 You know, people are saying, go well, go broke and all that.

01:20:22.000 I'm like, well, there's nothing in it that says anything about gender ideology or race or anything like that.

01:20:25.000 It's just cringe.

01:20:26.000 I got choked up from that, too.

01:20:28.000 I'm still choking.

01:20:29.000 It's like the end of the end.

01:20:32.000 The people in the comments were like, where's the car?

01:20:35.000 What does this have to do with cars?

01:20:37.000 When I first saw it, I didn't know it was for the car commercial.

01:20:39.000 Or for the car company.

01:20:40.000 I thought Jaguar was going to be some, like, other brand thing.

01:20:43.000 I thought it was going to be, like, an art pop.

01:20:44.000 Yeah.

01:20:44.000 And then they were like, no.

01:20:45.000 Like, people were like, look at the old logo.

01:20:47.000 I was like, wait, that was the car?

01:20:48.000 So apparently what's happening is they want to go all electric vehicle.

01:20:52.000 Oh.

01:20:52.000 Or they say a fully realized electric fleet or something.

01:20:56.000 The language alluded to the fact they're just going to do EVs.

01:20:59.000 Mm-hmm.

01:21:00.000 And so they decided this is the route to go.

01:21:03.000 They should have put a car in it at least.

01:21:05.000 I know.

01:21:06.000 Driving by in the background or something.

01:21:07.000 Meanwhile, and you know, I do kind of feel bad for them because they probably put a bunch of money into this from before the election.

01:21:13.000 And then I wonder if after the election they're sitting there going...

01:21:17.000 Do we still run this ad?

01:21:19.000 Meanwhile, Volvo was producing theirs well before the election, and they were like, look, people want safe cars because they have children.

01:21:25.000 That's the commercial.

01:21:26.000 If you pull it up on Twitter, the comments from Jaguar in response to the comments of like, what is this car?

01:21:32.000 They keep responding.

01:21:33.000 Do you sell cars, Elon?

01:21:36.000 It's funny.

01:21:36.000 Elon Musk has got incredible trolling.

01:21:38.000 We'd love to show you.

01:21:39.000 Join us for a cuppa in Miami on 2nd of December.

01:21:43.000 Warmest regards, Jaguar.

01:21:46.000 Hello, thanks.

01:21:47.000 Crusaders has boycott Jaguar along with any other business that still doesn't get it.

01:21:50.000 They said, thanks for the feedback.

01:21:51.000 We'll be sure to pass on to the team.

01:21:53.000 Best wishes.

01:21:54.000 I don't know.

01:21:55.000 This is surely a joke that's at a pivotal moment.

01:21:57.000 Let me just jump to the replies.

01:21:58.000 Maybe it's brilliant.

01:22:00.000 I saw all the vibrant colors and you're thinking, oh, maybe they're bringing one of these weird colors to one of the cars.

01:22:05.000 Maybe they're doing something interesting.

01:22:07.000 Maybe they're breaking the mold with a weird, vibrant orange or yellow.

01:22:11.000 Nah, they're just...

01:22:11.000 I don't know.

01:22:12.000 What mold are they breaking?

01:22:14.000 Yeah.

01:22:14.000 They should have had some indication of what they're doing.

01:22:17.000 It should have been the opposite of the Volvo thing where they all get hit by a Jaguar at the end instead of the brakes.

01:22:22.000 You know, look at this image.

01:22:24.000 Look what they're doing with this vehicle. 0.83

01:22:25.000 Like, is this really what they think they're going to be selling?

01:22:28.000 It was a Porsche from the 80s.

01:22:29.000 But I'm telling you, you know what happened?

01:22:31.000 Some millennial women came into the marketing department and they said, the company said, look, sales are down in this area. 0.99

01:22:39.000 What can we do to revitalize the brand?

01:22:40.000 And they brought in some woke millennial women with big glasses, the huge oval frames, and she pushed them up and she's like, we're going to go. 0.97

01:22:47.000 He's postmodern.

01:22:48.000 Leo, postmodern art.

01:22:49.000 Andy Warhol.

01:22:50.000 All the way.

01:22:51.000 What would Andy Warhol do?

01:22:52.000 He would tell us to copy nothing.

01:22:54.000 Let's copy him.

01:22:55.000 It's going to look like a TV. It's going to look like what they thought...

01:22:59.000 Okay, how he says this.

01:23:00.000 It's going to look like what people in the 1950s thought a TV in the year 2000 would look like.

01:23:05.000 Uh-huh.

01:23:06.000 There you go.

01:23:06.000 You gotta wonder if this stuff's bait nowadays, because these companies know they're going to get a ton of attention.

01:23:11.000 There's going to be a bunch of news stories written about it.

01:23:13.000 Oh, Jaguar's new car breaks the mold.

01:23:15.000 And there was anti-LGBTQ commentators say that, oh no, they're still in the mold.

01:23:19.000 We are talking about them now.

01:23:20.000 Jaguar, electric vehicles.

01:23:21.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:23:22.000 Maybe it's brilliant.

01:23:22.000 Maybe it's like an anti- We're being psyoped.

01:23:24.000 We're taking the bait.

01:23:25.000 I will tell you this.

01:23:27.000 The one thing they have going for them is that Democrats and liberals will do whatever the right...

01:23:32.000 They'll do the opposite of whatever the right is doing.

01:23:33.000 So when it came to like RFK Jr. being like, I don't think we should eat poison.

01:23:37.000 They're like, oh yeah?

01:23:38.000 Now they're advocating for McDonald's as much.

01:23:41.000 You guys go to the gym?

01:23:42.000 No, I'm going to stay home, eat a bunch of hamburgers.

01:23:44.000 I just wanted to be subject to a blind study non-placebo trial.

01:23:48.000 That's exactly it.

01:23:49.000 And so now you've got...

01:23:50.000 There's beef jerky here, but it's processed, and I think we should subject it to a blind study on placebo trial.

01:23:55.000 But now you've got Chris Mowry, who is doing this video, who's being like, it's not the chemicals in the food that are making people fat, it's that you're eating garbage and not exercising.

01:24:03.000 It's because I'm in a box that makes small explosions in the back that propels me forward, and it's like...

01:24:09.000 Okay, dude, you are so incredibly wrong on all of this, but why are you defending butylated hydroxylitolium in our food?

01:24:17.000 You don't even know what that is.

01:24:18.000 I don't even know what that is.

01:24:18.000 All I know is I don't need to eat it.

01:24:20.000 And if you come to me and say, but the studies say it's safe, I don't care.

01:24:22.000 How about I just eat, I don't know, meat and rice, just simple things.

01:24:27.000 And they're going to be like, but you know, there's a chemical compound called this.

01:24:29.000 Yes, I know.

01:24:30.000 But it came from the ground and I know I can eat it.

01:24:32.000 They've got Democrats and liberals defending eating weird chemicals that are lab made, like the New York Times fact check against RFK Jr. So what's likely going to happen is a bunch of liberals are going to be like, I'm buying a Jaguar now.

01:24:44.000 Who was it who said these celebrities tweeted they sold their Teslas?

01:24:48.000 Yeah.

01:24:48.000 And then they bought other EVs.

01:24:50.000 Ellen DeGeneres?

01:24:51.000 She's moving to England.

01:24:52.000 Did you see the Shane Gillis Bud Light commercial?

01:24:54.000 The what?

01:24:54.000 The Shane Gillis new Bud Light commercial?

01:24:56.000 Better, but I'm not a fan.

01:24:57.000 What did he do?

01:24:58.000 Of the commercial, what they're trying to do?

01:25:01.000 Yeah, so it's like Shane Gill's sitting on a chair and he's like, I think I'm in the wrong commercial.

01:25:04.000 And they're like, aren't you...

01:25:05.000 What did they say?

01:25:06.000 Aren't you like...

01:25:06.000 You're this one other guy.

01:25:07.000 And he's like, no.

01:25:08.000 And they're like, oh.

01:25:08.000 And then there's another guy going, woo, and drinking beer.

01:25:11.000 And I was like, okay.

01:25:12.000 Yeah.

01:25:12.000 You know, I got to chuckle out of it because Shane's just going like, uh, what's going on?

01:25:17.000 But there was no heavy joke.

01:25:19.000 I feel like...

01:25:20.000 I'm sorry, dude.

01:25:21.000 Look, Shane Gillis is super funny, but they are desperately trying to rescue this dead brand, and they think they're going to get by without actually addressing the fact that, hey, look, I said we should own it and take their money, but it doesn't matter what I think.

01:25:35.000 I'm one guy.

01:25:35.000 The right has said never unless they apologize, and they think they're going to get through without apologizing.

01:25:39.000 It's more about what doing a commercial like that means about the culture, because what they're trying to appeal to is what people actually resonate with, whereas in the woke advertising world in a lot of situations, it's not like these people really ideologically believe this stuff.

01:25:53.000 They're just like, we think this is the trendy, resonant idea, so we're going to try to do this You know, nonsensical, far, like, postmodern approach, thinking it will resonate.

01:26:06.000 And I think we're in a time now where it's like they're realizing it's being rejected.

01:26:09.000 It's funny, like, when you see SNL trying to, like, go edgy, more right-wing, and being okay with certain things, and I don't buy it because it's like...

01:26:18.000 You're trying to say, oh, you were self-critical and self-aware the whole time when you weren't.

01:26:22.000 So it's this pandering kind of thing, but it more reflects that they're trying to appeal to what most common sense people feel.

01:26:28.000 Volvo deserves to just make a billion dollars for doing a good ad that celebrates family and safety.

01:26:34.000 They made a very basic commercial.

01:26:36.000 There's no weird colors.

01:26:38.000 There's no ideology.

01:26:39.000 It's just literally a guy who's excited to have a kid, which is a normal human experience.

01:26:42.000 And then there's like the brakes work and it's going to keep people safe.

01:26:46.000 And you're like, that's all we care about.

01:26:48.000 That's it.

01:26:48.000 You've sold me.

01:26:49.000 So I hope we reward marketing campaigns like that.

01:26:54.000 And Jaguar...

01:26:55.000 You know, look, I want Jaguar to do what Volvo did.

01:26:58.000 So I hope they do lose money and realize this is a terrible campaign.

01:27:01.000 I think it's fair to say it's not woke, necessarily, just because it's weird art stuff.

01:27:05.000 It's just cringe.

01:27:06.000 It reminds me of, like...

01:27:09.000 Of an 80s movie that had an advertisement in the movie.

01:27:15.000 It's something that you would see as a commercial in Robocop 2 or something like that.

01:27:20.000 Dystopian 80s future.

01:27:22.000 Demolition Man portrayal.

01:27:24.000 Exactly.

01:27:24.000 Where everything is just messed up.

01:27:26.000 Look, look, it's so futuristic and crazy and blah, blah, blah.

01:27:28.000 Isn't it cool?

01:27:29.000 And it's like the point of those commercials was to be...

01:27:33.000 Like Fifth Element.

01:27:33.000 Yes, exactly.

01:27:35.000 Ridiculous. 0.99

01:27:35.000 The point of those commercials was to be ridiculous and be beyond what people would kind of consider normal. 0.99

01:27:43.000 And I don't think that this makes anybody want to buy a car.

01:27:46.000 I don't think that it makes...

01:27:47.000 It's Hunger Games.

01:27:48.000 Yeah, I mean, that's very similar to the idea.

01:27:51.000 But I don't think that makes anyone want to buy a car.

01:27:53.000 I don't know who the demographic that they're after is.

01:27:55.000 I thought Jaguars is for dads who want a sportier car.

01:27:59.000 I don't know.

01:28:02.000 I thought it was supposed to be an upscale six-figure guy who's looking for a high-end car so he can be like, I got a Jag.

01:28:10.000 And you're like, oh wow, that's a great vehicle.

01:28:12.000 Now it's going to be this weird...

01:28:14.000 Like, sleek, solid, pastel.

01:28:17.000 It's owned by Tata Motors, an Indian multinational automotive company.

01:28:23.000 So, that's interesting.

01:28:25.000 I'm getting David Bowie vibes from the person in the dress, I think, in the dress.

01:28:30.000 The dude with the sledgehammer?

01:28:32.000 Yeah.

01:28:33.000 Right?

01:28:33.000 With the hair and the...

01:28:34.000 Yeah, the whole video.

01:28:36.000 I don't know.

01:28:37.000 Was David Bowie gay, too, or LGBT? Bisexual, I think.

01:28:40.000 I don't know.

01:28:41.000 I couldn't name three of his songs.

01:28:42.000 Mick Jagger had a thing, allegedly, I believe.

01:28:44.000 Is that true?

01:28:45.000 I don't know.

01:28:45.000 I'm a Jackson guy, not a Bowie guy.

01:28:46.000 I think that's what they wanted society to believe.

01:28:48.000 I'm going to do just a—before we go to Super Chats, we'll just do a quick little snippet so we don't have time for a full segment.

01:28:54.000 But Nick Sorter is reporting that Donald Trump is considering Mike Rogers for FBI director with Kash Patel as deputy director.

01:29:02.000 The plan could please both Senate Republicans concerned about Trump's plan to disrupt the FBI and also appeasing the MAGA orbit, who have been frustrated about why more of their allies have been placed in top jobs.

01:29:12.000 Cash Patel.

01:29:14.000 You know, right now there's this clip from Tim Castile going viral with Kanakoa the Great tweeted it.

01:29:21.000 Elon Musk himself tweeted it.

01:29:22.000 And it's Cash explaining about the two-tier system of justice and these things.

01:29:26.000 It's got like 20 million views or some ridiculous amount.

01:29:29.000 And I am honored to have hosted the show where Cash came on.

01:29:34.000 But Cash has proven exactly why in that segment why he needs to be the FBI director.

01:29:37.000 Literally looking me in the eyes on that clip.

01:29:40.000 He was looking at me, telling me that info.

01:29:43.000 That's me listening to him while we were all listening to him.

01:29:46.000 He is the guy.

01:29:48.000 He's the man.

01:29:48.000 He's Cash.

01:29:49.000 Cash money.

01:29:50.000 Mike Rogers has not come near the depth of conversation and context on the issue that Cash Patel has.

01:29:58.000 I love that guy.

01:29:58.000 Cash is so cool.

01:30:00.000 And the concern, of course, because this should have been announced a long time ago.

01:30:03.000 Cash Patel is clearly the guy.

01:30:05.000 Trump had praised his book.

01:30:06.000 Cash has been talking about it for some time.

01:30:08.000 And there's concerns about the Senate saying no. 0.88

01:30:11.000 And I think that's ridiculous.

01:30:12.000 I think it would be a confirmed position.

01:30:14.000 That's probably why they're trying to do deputy. 0.98

01:30:16.000 Deputy's not confirmed?

01:30:17.000 No, no, no.

01:30:18.000 I think they're trying to put him as deputy because it would be hard to have him be at the top.

01:30:21.000 But doesn't Deputy have to be confirmed as well or no?

01:30:24.000 Yeah, Deputy would have to be confirmed.

01:30:25.000 But it's not a senior position.

01:30:27.000 Yeah, it's a senior.

01:30:28.000 And then it's going to restrict what he can do.

01:30:30.000 And you're going to get Mike Rogers who's going to be like, well, let's not rock the boat too much.

01:30:34.000 Look, I'm not going to be surprised if this is what happens.

01:30:37.000 We got RFK Jr. in HHS. I hope he gets in because that is still a nuclear bomb on the beltway and in the industries of this country as it pertains to food, preservatives, and all that stuff.

01:30:47.000 It's still great.

01:30:47.000 Tulsi's DNI is great.

01:30:49.000 I think it's fair to say we want to win everything, but the reality would be, I suppose if we get a handful in, I'll take what I can get.

01:31:01.000 I still think it's a tremendous gain.

01:31:03.000 What I'm saying is it should be cash.

01:31:05.000 Go for cash.

01:31:06.000 Make them vote.

01:31:07.000 Do it.

01:31:08.000 Make the Senate do its job.

01:31:09.000 If they say no, then appoint somebody else.

01:31:11.000 But do cash, dude.

01:31:12.000 Appoint...

01:31:13.000 Matt Gaetz.

01:31:14.000 Make them do their job.

01:31:16.000 Make them say no.

01:31:18.000 Put them on record.

01:31:18.000 The reason that they don't want to go through the confirmation process if they know they're not going to get in is that it just wastes time in the Trump administration.

01:31:25.000 So, you know, their first 18 months is when you actually get to do stuff because the midterms are already around the corner.

01:31:30.000 So if you're not in the first three months, if you're only acting as the acting AG or what have you, you're not going to be able to really affect as much change than you'd be able to do if you were confirmed quickly.

01:31:42.000 Moreover, once you're done with confirmation, Senate could start confirming judges and get onto other business.

01:31:47.000 If they're stymied and stuck on these confirmation hearings that aren't going anywhere, it's just wasting Congress's time.

01:31:53.000 Yep.

01:31:54.000 The counter, or you're actually right.

01:31:56.000 You're taking the non-purist view, which is probably the right way in politics. 1.00

01:31:59.000 The other idea is appointing the wrong guy is a waste of time.

01:32:01.000 But I think you're right.

01:32:04.000 Just like he said, 18 months is all they've got.

01:32:08.000 And there's a lot of stuff that they want to get done in the first...

01:32:12.000 And they can do it if they get people in place that are going to do the job.

01:32:16.000 They can do significant damage to the bureaucracy.

01:32:21.000 If he was to appoint a guy, Mike Rogers or whatever, and then wasn't happy with the way he was doing it, can he remove him and then appoint somebody?

01:32:27.000 That happens in the first round all the time.

01:32:30.000 Yeah.

01:32:30.000 Trump, all of these guys will likely get fired.

01:32:33.000 They're not going to serve all four years in the cabinet.

01:32:35.000 Nobody usually makes it all the way through.

01:32:38.000 And then it would be the same process?

01:32:39.000 Would he remove Mike Rogers?

01:32:41.000 There would be an acting?

01:32:43.000 He might have someone lined up right away.

01:32:45.000 And then they have to go to confirmation, and that could take, what, a month, two weeks?

01:32:50.000 Do they go right into the Senate, like a week later, five, the next day?

01:32:53.000 It depends on what the Senate has planned on their slate, if they're going through other things, you know.

01:32:57.000 God willing, Trump might get another Supreme Court appointment in this term.

01:33:03.000 What, Sotomayor's got like diabetes or something?

01:33:04.000 Yeah, Sotomayor allegedly.

01:33:06.000 There was something going on with her.

01:33:07.000 And a lot of libs were hoping that she didn't pull another RGB where she would die. 1.00

01:33:12.000 I think she's only in her 70s, but she apparently has some health issues. 0.94

01:33:15.000 Apparently, I don't know for sure.

01:33:16.000 I don't want her to die, but it'd be nice if she stepped down.

01:33:19.000 During Trump's, that's nice.

01:33:21.000 That's nice.

01:33:21.000 What about age limits?

01:33:23.000 This is a whole other conversation.

01:33:24.000 Age limits?

01:33:25.000 Or just term limits?

01:33:26.000 Well, term limits he talked about.

01:33:27.000 No, no, no.

01:33:28.000 The point of not having term limits is so that way they're not political.

01:33:32.000 They get appointed for life, so that way you don't have people step out and then you have political appointments.

01:33:41.000 Do you think they're not political?

01:33:43.000 They are to a degree.

01:33:44.000 They don't need to be to the whims of the public.

01:33:47.000 They don't need to worry about, oh, I need to...

01:33:49.000 They won't be political in deciding their cases because they don't need to worry about their political future.

01:33:53.000 I'm going to be in office forever.

01:33:55.000 What if it was just one long-term per justice?

01:33:57.000 Eight years.

01:33:58.000 That's what life is.

01:33:59.000 I think it could be 20 years, but I guess the idea is to have it be long-term.

01:34:03.000 And if you want to have change, go to the House of Reps.

01:34:05.000 You want to keep the judiciary as far removed from the executive and legislative as possible.

01:34:10.000 It is political under a particular administration.

01:34:13.000 What's the problem is when one president appoints half of the Supreme Court?

01:34:16.000 No, that's not a problem.

01:34:17.000 That is a big problem.

01:34:18.000 Why?

01:34:18.000 Because it biases the court towards the whims of the president.

01:34:21.000 The president picks who they want.

01:34:22.000 No, it doesn't bias to the whims.

01:34:25.000 The court is not supposed to have politics.

01:34:29.000 But no, they do.

01:34:30.000 No, but to be fair, if it's a Republican president, they're going to pick more right-of-center judges. 0.73

01:34:35.000 Yeah, but then they need to get the president elected, then they need to go to the Senate, and they need to get it confirmed in the Senate as well.

01:34:39.000 They're going to pick constitutionalists. 0.99

01:34:41.000 Constitutionalists.

01:34:42.000 And that's what they're supposed to be.

01:34:44.000 Listen, the court is not supposed to make law from the bench.

01:34:48.000 They're supposed to read the law and say, this is what the law says.

01:34:54.000 That's the whole point.

01:34:55.000 So all the people that are like, oh, well, the Constitution needs to be interpreted.

01:34:59.000 No, the hell it doesn't.

01:35:02.000 Right, so the issue is, the Democrats go, it says a well-regulated militia.

01:35:07.000 Well, as we know, regulated means government control.

01:35:09.000 And then the originalists say, no, regulated back then meant well-equipped, like your guns are working and are in proper order.

01:35:17.000 And they're the same throughout.

01:35:18.000 This is a philosophical disagreement, right?

01:35:20.000 Right.

01:35:21.000 Living, breathing document?

01:35:23.000 No, it's not philosophical.

01:35:25.000 I think it's equal people lying for power.

01:35:26.000 The best argument against a living document is in the Constitution itself.

01:35:31.000 The fact that there is a stringent and rigorous amendment process indicates strongly that it was not intended to be interpreted.

01:35:40.000 If it was intended to be interpreted, they wouldn't have put an amendment process in there at all.

01:35:45.000 And the fact that it's so stringent indicates that they wanted it to be very hard.

01:35:49.000 They knew that it would be interpreted, which is why the Second Amendment doesn't.

01:35:52.000 So Second Amendment, easy argument.

01:35:54.000 Anybody just read the original article on what they were intending and it's all written there.

01:35:58.000 And the founding fathers wrote the intentions.

01:36:00.000 They wanted people to own guns.

01:36:02.000 That's it.

01:36:02.000 There's a variety of reasons why they should.

01:36:04.000 It's not just about government tyranny.

01:36:05.000 It's about foreign invasion, foreign and domestic. 0.95

01:36:08.000 The idea is, OK, if a government becomes tyrannical to these ends and people are being abused, citizenry need to be able to defend themselves.

01:36:13.000 Most importantly, however, if we are invaded, militia is a strong portion of our defense.

01:36:18.000 The regular citizens need to be able to defend their homes and rise up if they're conscripted.

01:36:22.000 Then they said, well, let's put in there then that you don't need to be conscripted to have a gun because we want everybody to have guns.

01:36:28.000 So they originally did.

01:36:29.000 Then they were like, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

01:36:30.000 If we include this portion that says it is not a requirement to serve in order to bear arms, people will argue that the intention of the amendment was to make it so that people could dodge conscription.

01:36:41.000 People have to be conscripted.

01:36:43.000 Okay, let's take that out.

01:36:45.000 Now it's vague, but they knew interpretation was likely.

01:36:47.000 That was the best they came up with.

01:36:49.000 Because all the articles from the original, I believe it was 17, were incredibly wordy.

01:36:53.000 And funny enough, the salary apportionment and the size of Congress, I think were the first two.

01:37:01.000 And I think the first article didn't get amended until like the 90s or something.

01:37:07.000 Something on salaries.

01:37:09.000 It's kind of funny, actually.

01:37:11.000 Talking about constitutional interpretation, I was watching the show last night, people were talking about whether or not the U.S. Constitution was insinuating that the U.S. was a Christian nation.

01:37:20.000 We talked about that.

01:37:22.000 Oh yeah, it was this show.

01:37:23.000 Yes.

01:37:23.000 That was a good argument.

01:37:24.000 And the answer is that it is.

01:37:25.000 Well, we'll go deeper on that.

01:37:27.000 I wanted to fact check real quick.

01:37:28.000 Earlier I said the Deputy Director of the FBI did need Senate confirmation.

01:37:32.000 I believe they don't actually need Senate confirmation.

01:37:35.000 For a deputy.

01:37:36.000 That's why he's trying to make sure cash can get into some capacity.

01:37:38.000 Wanted to get that right so we don't get sued by...

01:37:40.000 I'll make one quick point on the discussion that we were having yesterday on the U.S. as a Christian nation to clarify, because a lot of people don't understand.

01:37:46.000 The Founding Fathers did not intend for the United States to be a theocratic government.

01:37:51.000 That's what I was watching.

01:37:52.000 Right.

01:37:52.000 And what people keep saying is, is it a Christian nation?

01:37:55.000 The Democrats take the most direct and single-ordered thinking imaginable by saying a Christian nation is a theocratic government where the church has say in government.

01:38:05.000 No, they want a separation of church and state.

01:38:06.000 Okay, guys.

01:38:07.000 A Christian nation, what they meant was it was founded upon morals and teachings in the Christian faith.

01:38:13.000 Jefferson may have been a deist, but his morals were largely built upon Christian faith.

01:38:17.000 You know, my take was that they understood that religions evolve and that we may in the future have a religion that is even more moral than Christianity, and that the country will still function as long as there is a moral religion behind it.

01:38:31.000 I mean, I think they're pretty wise.

01:38:32.000 So, very simply put, Hinduism was a religion they knew about at the time, and it did not have a right to a jury trial or a belief in the protection of the innocent.

01:38:40.000 So when they said a moral and religious country, they weren't referring to any religion.

01:38:45.000 No, but I think the difference, what I was confused about watching last night was there was like the idea that it's been informed by religious principles is different than Milo was saying that it's being prescribed to specific groups and only those groups.

01:38:59.000 Like it's for Christians rather than the principles themselves being animated and informed by and influenced by Christian principles, which is different.

01:39:07.000 And then the separation of church and state.

01:39:09.000 In other words, we do not have an enforceable religion that everyone has to subscribe to.

01:39:12.000 There is no formal separation of church and state.

01:39:14.000 What do you mean?

01:39:15.000 The separation of church and state is a written intent.

01:39:18.000 It's not in any documents or anything like that.

01:39:21.000 Okay.

01:39:21.000 But the principle of a separation of a church and state, that we don't have an official church of the United States that people have to pay to...

01:39:27.000 Correct me if I'm wrong.

01:39:28.000 I'm fairly certain they did not write down, we hereby separate church and state.

01:39:32.000 I think it is written down.

01:39:33.000 I don't know.

01:39:34.000 I could be wrong.

01:39:35.000 It was a letter.

01:39:36.000 There's no official thing.

01:39:37.000 That principle is a healthy one because it allows for peaceful...

01:39:40.000 Religions to exist under a bedrock of principles that are informed by Judeo-Christian values.

01:39:46.000 So the point that Milo made, which I agree with, is that when you have a set of values that are rooted in Christian moral teachings that 99.9% of the country follows, and you say these rules are for a moral and religious people, they're not talking about Buddhism.

01:40:00.000 They're not talking about Hinduism.

01:40:02.000 They're not beefing with them, but they're saying the idea of the right to avoid self-incrimination, a speedy trial, to jury lawsuits, to the sovereignty of states, these are rooted in the Christian moral tradition.

01:40:13.000 And it all stems back, obviously, because of the structure of the European government and how it came to the United States, and it was very much informed by Christianity.

01:40:21.000 So my point was, while Milo may be saying it's prescribed for Christians— Which to me sounded exclusionary, which was awesome. 0.87

01:40:29.000 Perhaps it's too much, but I think his point is correct, that when you apply these things to people who have no moral virtue and do not abide by these, they're postmodernists of a different ideology, they weaponize them against good moral people.

01:40:41.000 I think a lot of people would have said that our founding fathers were.

01:40:47.000 Like, these guys didn't accept Jesus Christ.

01:40:49.000 A lot of modern-day Christians wouldn't. 0.98

01:40:50.000 George Washington?

01:40:51.000 Thomas Jefferson?

01:40:52.000 George Washington, our founding father, first president of the country.

01:40:55.000 He didn't believe that Jesus Christ was a messiah.

01:40:58.000 But they were deists.

01:40:59.000 The distinction was they didn't believe God was intervening in governmental affairs like many other countries did when they thought the heads of state were appointed by God.

01:41:07.000 They still believed in the Christian moral teachings.

01:41:09.000 That's why Benjamin Franklin expanded upon Blackstone's formulation, which is rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

01:41:14.000 Are any of our modern-day Christians calling George Washington...

01:41:17.000 A Christian, but he didn't accept Jesus Christ.

01:41:20.000 He wasn't a Christian. 0.87

01:41:21.000 We're really talking about where do individual rights and the concept of sovereign individual rights come from?

01:41:27.000 A Christian that's informed by Judeo-Christian, as you could say. 0.74

01:41:30.000 But it is factually correct to say it was a Christian God.

01:41:33.000 They said that we have rights bestowed to us, they are unalienable, by God.

01:41:37.000 I think the Christians backpacked off of the Jewish God. 0.97

01:41:40.000 It's a monotheistic God.

01:41:42.000 I think it's about monotheism.

01:41:45.000 More than anything is, one God is what's important here.

01:41:48.000 It's because the country was 99.9% Christian.

01:41:51.000 And the moral tradition...

01:41:52.000 Are you a Christian if you don't accept Jesus Christ?

01:41:53.000 No.

01:41:54.000 Okay, so I don't think 99.9% of the country was Christian.

01:41:58.000 Literally, just look it up.

01:41:59.000 It's true.

01:41:59.000 We're talking a little bit about semantics here.

01:42:00.000 No, but they called George Washington...

01:42:02.000 The deism, this idea of like...

01:42:03.000 I'm not including deists as Christian. 0.75

01:42:04.000 A small handful of founding fathers were deists does not negate that the entire country was Christian.

01:42:08.000 I don't think it was 99.9%.

01:42:09.000 I think a lot of the...

01:42:10.000 Google it right now.

01:42:11.000 And so the issue that I'm pointing out is they are saying, here's a list of rights that we believe are unalienable that God has given us.

01:42:19.000 They're not talking about Krishna or something or Shiva.

01:42:24.000 They're talking about the Christian God.

01:42:29.000 What is a Christian God? 0.86

01:42:32.000 Do the Muslims have a different God than the Christian God? 0.70

01:42:34.000 No, because I think it's about monotheism here.

01:42:35.000 They believe in the one God.

01:42:38.000 Muslims have a different directive than Christians do. 1.00

01:42:41.000 I don't think that the Founding Fathers were entertaining a religion that instructed its people to kill Jews. 0.58

01:42:47.000 Do you think that the Founding Fathers were like a good moral and religious person who would follow the words of the Hadith and attack Jews? 0.99

01:42:52.000 That's what they were referring to?

01:42:53.000 No.

01:42:54.000 I don't think so either.

01:42:55.000 Muslims would say that it's a different God too because they say that the Christians are – they say that they're polytheists.

01:43:00.000 They say that because they believe Christ and the Holy Spirit and God.

01:43:03.000 They say the Christians believe it's a trinity.

01:43:06.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:43:40.000 I'm not trying to, you know...

01:43:42.000 And they were in a Volvo commercial.

01:43:43.000 Not in a Volvo commercial, but we've had, I think, more than a few people who joined the Discord and ended up meeting up and getting married.

01:43:49.000 So that's very cool.

01:43:51.000 That's very cool.

01:43:51.000 So TimCast.com, but we'll grab your Super Chats right now.

01:43:54.000 AlphaTurkey says, Mike Lawler, say goodbye to Congress.

01:43:58.000 Well, put a tack in that note because we can't forget.

01:44:01.000 We got two years.

01:44:02.000 Mike Lawler is gloating over Matt Gaetz stepping down.

01:44:05.000 And Elon Musk said, anybody who's disrupted Trump's agenda, you get the primary.

01:44:11.000 Can I say a tidbit on Mike Lawler?

01:44:14.000 I think he's a sophomore now in Congress from, I believe, what was it?

01:44:19.000 The 17th District of New York.

01:44:21.000 He's so revered by the establishment right now because he won in the New York 17th District against, who was this?

01:44:28.000 Sean Patrick Maloney, who was like a 10-time or 7 or 8-time elected congressman in this seat.

01:44:36.000 He turned to a blue seat, red.

01:44:37.000 And this was kind of the idea of a future type of Republican in the sort of Northeast blue-purple areas that could really change the game moving forward.

01:44:47.000 So I don't know if any sort of MAGA candidate would be able to win in this district, is kind of what I'm getting at.

01:44:52.000 Jason Dixon says, Hey Tim, please shout out the Discord. 0.98

01:44:54.000 Can you please point out the Discord is not a freedom of speech platform, and no one is free to jeopardize the community because they want to say stupid-ish.

01:45:01.000 The Discord is a community.

01:45:03.000 The community has rules, and those rules exist because we want to preserve and sustain this community so people can meet up.

01:45:08.000 The Founding Fathers met in bars and pubs.

01:45:10.000 That's how they were able to come to these ideas and these conclusions that ultimately birthed this now great nation.

01:45:15.000 I was going to say once because we're going to make it great again, but I want to correct myself and say it is great, it's been great, and it's going to be greater than it's ever been before.

01:45:22.000 And that was because of the meetings the Finding Fathers had.

01:45:25.000 So we've got the Discord server.

01:45:28.000 For those that don't know what that is, it's a chat room.

01:45:30.000 You download an app, you sign up, and you're in this chat room with live shows, pre-shows, meetups.

01:45:35.000 And there's actively right now, I think, 21,000 active people who are in it.

01:45:39.000 So it's massive.

01:45:40.000 And you're probably going to find friends in your local area.

01:45:42.000 I think it's very important that we link up, we make friends, we stay involved, and that's how we build these cultural bonds.

01:45:48.000 Let's grab some more.

01:45:50.000 IsThisDom says, Bondi is a Kushner hire.

01:45:52.000 She's from the AFPI, which is run by Brooks Rollins, Kushner's pal, and Linda McMahon.

01:45:57.000 Makes sense.

01:45:59.000 AFPI, America First Policy Institute?

01:46:01.000 Wow, sounds horrendous.

01:46:02.000 Yeah.

01:46:03.000 All right.

01:46:04.000 Mike Moe says, nuclear war is bad for kittens. 0.89

01:46:07.000 Indeed it is.

01:46:08.000 It is.

01:46:09.000 We have Seamus 3 on the property.

01:46:11.000 Maybe Ian should capture him.

01:46:13.000 Seamus, sir.

01:46:14.000 Well, you know, because we named the cat Seamus, you know, he's Seamus 1 and the cartoonist is Seamus 2. We just don't have names for any other cat.

01:46:22.000 So another cat popped up on the property and we just call him Seamus.

01:46:25.000 So now he's Seamus 3. Oh my God.

01:46:27.000 Seamus, the cartoonist, can keep number 2. I do like cats.

01:46:30.000 Maybe Ian should capture number three.

01:46:32.000 That's a lot of responsibility for a guy.

01:46:33.000 Eating the dogs.

01:46:34.000 Eating the cats.

01:46:35.000 You've got to be careful.

01:46:37.000 You do indeed.

01:46:38.000 All right, let's see.

01:46:39.000 What do we got?

01:46:39.000 Jacob Hawley says, Pam Bondi is a never-Trumper.

01:46:42.000 The lady was on Fox a year ago saying the party should do anything to stop Trump.

01:46:45.000 She was also the AG of Florida that pushed Epstein stuff under the rug and let a lot of the crime limitations lapse. 0.96

01:46:51.000 She's a deep neocon.

01:46:53.000 She also served on his first impeachment as his defense attorney.

01:46:57.000 I did read something about her being a lobbyist for Qatar in between servings in office.

01:47:04.000 Is that the AG nomination?

01:47:05.000 Yeah.

01:47:06.000 The shoo-in for AG. Lobbyist for Qatar?

01:47:09.000 Lobbies for Qatar.

01:47:10.000 Early days gigs, you know?

01:47:11.000 You gotta take some money.

01:47:12.000 I've never lobbied for Qatar, but who says I wouldn't take the money?

01:47:16.000 Surge, my agent over here, maybe he could...

01:47:18.000 Hey, any Qataris want to reach out to Surge?

01:47:20.000 What do you think about Qatar?

01:47:21.000 Qatar is an Islamic nation.

01:47:23.000 No, I think it's bad.

01:47:24.000 I think it's bad that any of our politicians are taking money from Qatar.

01:47:28.000 I think it's bad to be in bed with them.

01:47:29.000 I think they hosted the recent FIFA World Cup.

01:47:31.000 Nobody cares about any of the human rights abuses of anybody in the Middle East.

01:47:35.000 It's really swept under the rug.

01:47:36.000 I want to point this out. 0.96

01:47:38.000 There is a difficult contradiction for platforms like YouTube in their hate speech policies in that the Islamic faith following the Hadith, the Hadith literally says that they have to kill Jews. 0.98

01:47:49.000 That's insane. 0.74

01:47:50.000 I'm sorry, I'm not going to...

01:47:53.000 What's the context?

01:47:54.000 I'm just kidding.

01:47:54.000 You know, I assume.

01:47:57.000 It says that the end will not come until the rocks cry out, there is a Jew hiding behind me. 1.00

01:48:03.000 It's in the Hamas Charter, Article 7. Exactly.

01:48:05.000 If there is a Jew behind them, oh, come and kill him. 1.00

01:48:07.000 How do you reconcile this like, oh, you can't disparage a religion when the religion calls for death and murder of another religion? 0.99

01:48:14.000 I mean, I got no beef with any of the individuals, but that in and of itself is dangerous and it's crazy.

01:48:21.000 I think Qatar is a very bad actor on the world stage. 1.00

01:48:23.000 Well, that's fine.

01:48:23.000 My point is, that writing that was in the Hamas Charter, that is in the Hadith, that targets a religious group for death and destruction is not good.

01:48:32.000 And the contradiction is...

01:48:33.000 It's not great.

01:48:35.000 How is YouTube supposed to handle this, like, don't disparage a religion when the religion instructs its people to kill other people?

01:48:42.000 If someone went on YouTube who was Muslim and read that charter from Hamas, and they read that line from the Hadith, what's YouTube's reaction?

01:48:51.000 Are they going to be like, oh, it's a religion, we can't do anything about it? 0.99

01:48:54.000 I don't think they give a crap. 0.99

01:48:55.000 You never see any of the right-wing watch ever going after Muslims or any of their extreme rhetoric. 0.99

01:49:00.000 No, they're left-wing.

01:49:01.000 You meant the left-wing watch.

01:49:04.000 Right-wing watch?

01:49:05.000 Right-wing watch, never goes after otherwise misogynistic, transphobic.

01:49:09.000 But this is my point.

01:49:10.000 These right-wing watch groups and leftist groups consider Muslims left-wing, despite the fact they're religious fundamentalists.

01:49:16.000 Anyway, anyway, we'll talk about this in the members.

01:49:18.000 One more thing on Qatar, though.

01:49:20.000 We need to keep our eyes on Qatar, especially with their mass media project, Al Jazeera.

01:49:24.000 They have a ton of influence, and they're using it to undermine our values here in the West.

01:49:28.000 I think that's just something to keep an eye on.

01:49:30.000 They employ media.

01:49:31.000 They'll hold us to double standards.

01:49:32.000 AJ's class will talk about our human rights violations.

01:49:35.000 Won't mention Qatar.

01:49:36.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:49:37.000 We've got Craig Charlton says Bondi should appoint Matt Gaetz as special counsel.

01:49:42.000 That's a good idea, and maybe that happens.

01:49:45.000 With Cash potentially being deputy director, so he doesn't need to be confirmed for that?

01:49:50.000 Is that what it is?

01:49:51.000 Yes.

01:49:52.000 Then Mike Rogers might be a figurehead, and then Cash actually gets to run the show.

01:49:57.000 I mean, maybe.

01:49:58.000 I think Trump wants Cash.

01:50:01.000 And I think the reason he's weighed is because he's like, they're going to launch attacks against them.

01:50:06.000 How do we do this?

01:50:06.000 Maybe that's the play.

01:50:07.000 Maybe they let Rogers in the seat for a year or so.

01:50:11.000 Trump eventually gets rid of him.

01:50:13.000 And it looked like, oh, the deputy now.

01:50:14.000 He's been serving for over a year.

01:50:15.000 Is it time to promote him?

01:50:17.000 He'll be acting director.

01:50:18.000 We love cash.

01:50:19.000 We got cash.

01:50:20.000 And non-remotely inflammatory.

01:50:22.000 That guy, I don't see any problem with him being...

01:50:25.000 I think the left paints him as a guy who would go after, like a retribution type character is how he's viewed on the left.

01:50:32.000 All right, let's go.

01:50:34.000 Saravia says, DJT can draft invaders for war in Ukraine, asserting jurisdiction over them.

01:50:40.000 Invaders will self-deport.

01:50:41.000 Donald J. Trump will get sued.

01:50:42.000 SCOTUS will rule invaders and their children are not under U.S. jurisdiction.

01:50:47.000 Mega.

01:50:47.000 Is he speaking about illegals, that is?

01:50:49.000 Yeah, illegal.

01:50:50.000 So, I mean, Democrats want that.

01:50:52.000 Democrats have been saying we should conscript undocumented migrants as a path to citizenship.

01:51:00.000 In the fall of too many empires, man.

01:51:02.000 Yep! 0.80

01:51:02.000 Through military service. 0.80

01:51:03.000 It's the story of Rome.

01:51:05.000 It's such a way to grow your empire, but once your empire is established, it's kind of like asserting your downfall.

01:51:11.000 Bringing in foreigners and then elevating them to position of citizenship without assimilation through generations.

01:51:18.000 Alright, Death Magnet says, on the topic of college educated, just because you're educated doesn't mean you're intelligent.

01:51:22.000 There's a viral clip going around where this woman is like, She was saying something like, all of the liberal areas are from people who have college degrees. 0.98

01:51:31.000 And she's like, did it ever occur to them?

01:51:33.000 It's because people with degrees are smarter, and so that's why they're voting that way or whatever.

01:51:38.000 And it's like, dude, listen, I gotta tell you.

01:51:40.000 If you took out $40,000 to $80,000 in loans to get a degree that's not gonna get you a job, and you can't pay them back, and 25 years later you're still in debt, I'm not gonna call you intelligent or educated.

01:51:51.000 I'm gonna say you were a rube.

01:51:56.000 They are very low-interest loans, though.

01:51:58.000 They're like 3% interest.

01:52:00.000 So if you need 20 grand and you're in college, it's way better to take out a student loan. 1.00

01:52:03.000 Yes, my point is, it's a very stupid thing to do. 0.66

01:52:06.000 How are they low-interest loans, and at the same time, people are saying that they'll pay back their entire principal and still owe more? 0.99

01:52:13.000 It's because they're paying the minimums.

01:52:15.000 Yeah.

01:52:16.000 Are they really only like 3%?

01:52:18.000 I believe, yeah.

01:52:19.000 They're dirt cheap loans.

01:52:21.000 But dirt cheap.

01:52:21.000 The problem is, you take out, let's say 50k in loans, you get out, you can't find a job, you go work at Starbucks, you're like, well, I gotta defer my loans again, and it keeps racking up and racking up.

01:52:31.000 That's why these people, look, if you can't afford to go to college, you shouldn't.

01:52:34.000 Intelligence is different than wisdom.

01:52:36.000 So I'll tell you what I did.

01:52:38.000 Hey, let's talk about this.

01:52:39.000 When I was 14, I stopped going to conventional high school and started getting homeschooled.

01:52:43.000 I completed the entire high school course.

01:52:46.000 We were doing two weeks of high school courses in one day.

01:52:51.000 And it was a waste of my time.

01:52:52.000 I completed all of my credits, submitted them, and then they said, if you would like to get your diploma and formally graduate high school, they said, submit a letter, writing it out for your final.

01:53:02.000 I said, nah, not interested.

01:53:04.000 And my dad got mad at me for not doing it, but I was like, what do I need? 1.00

01:53:07.000 This is stupid. 0.99

01:53:08.000 And then I went to a community college because you don't need a high school diploma to do it. 1.00

01:53:11.000 And then I had some college on all of my applications, and I did.

01:53:14.000 I had like two credits or something.

01:53:16.000 And what happened was, when I turned 18, I started looking at the math.

01:53:21.000 And I said, okay, how much is it going to cost me to go to college?

01:53:24.000 What do I need?

01:53:25.000 And my dad was like, you definitely got to go to college.

01:53:27.000 My mom said you got to go to college.

01:53:28.000 And then I said, wow, if I go get a job right now, I ended up reading this article from an economist who worked in the Bush administration who said, if you go to any investor...

01:53:38.000 And say, make an investment over four years, and when you leave, you will owe me $40,000 with, you know, 3% or 4% interest. 0.99

01:53:47.000 They would laugh in your face, since it's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

01:53:49.000 So what you should do is, at 18, is get any job you can, and work there for two to four years, and save up as much money as you can, and then consider if you want to advance. 0.98

01:54:00.000 But the reality is, if you took a job at McDonald's at 18 and worked for four years, four years later, on average, I can't remember the math at the time, but it was like...

01:54:08.000 And this is 20-something years ago, 20 years ago, actually.

01:54:10.000 And it was like you'd be making $24,000, $25,000 a year.

01:54:13.000 You are leaving.

01:54:14.000 At 22, you are going to have $20,000 in savings at this rate.

01:54:19.000 You are going to be an assistant manager making $2 more with an opportunity for moving up in other companies.

01:54:24.000 You could reapply somewhere else, get training in advance.

01:54:26.000 If you leave college at 22, you're $40,000 in debt.

01:54:30.000 With no work history, no experience, you're only going to be able to get an entry-level job somewhere, most likely.

01:54:36.000 If you can, your salary prospects will likely be lower, and it'll take you an average of 10 years to climb out of that debt, where the person who worked at McDonald's is going to be net worth positive the moment they take the job.

01:54:49.000 On average, and this was a few years ago we talked about on the show, the average net worth of a 30-year-old in this country is $1,000.

01:54:56.000 It is the first time in the life of a millennial that they actually had a positive net worth.

01:55:01.000 So these women who are like, this lady's like, I'm gonna go to college because I'm smart. 1.00

01:55:05.000 And you got these stats where it's like men aren't graduating college and women are.

01:55:09.000 Because men are doing the math. 0.99

01:55:10.000 You know what looks really promising is the Peterson Academy, the Jordan Peterson.

01:55:14.000 Ha! 0.89

01:55:14.000 Well, you know, yes. 0.89

01:55:15.000 Sign up!

01:55:16.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:55:17.000 That's what I would say.

01:55:18.000 Michael Malice.

01:55:18.000 Step into the abyss.

01:55:19.000 There he is!

01:55:21.000 Malice did a course on the history of communism, I think, just recently.

01:55:24.000 That's super cheap.

01:55:26.000 So what is Peterson Academy?

01:55:27.000 It's like a...

01:55:28.000 I wish I could sell it.

01:55:29.000 It's cheaper version.

01:55:30.000 It's an online school, basically.

01:55:32.000 It's not accredited, but it gives you everything you need to get a college education, and it's cheap.

01:55:38.000 And it's through legitimate people like Jordan Peterson, Michael Malice.

01:55:42.000 Or were you going to say something, too, Phil, about it?

01:55:43.000 I just said that Michael Malice is on the Soviet Union.

01:55:46.000 On the Soviet Union.

01:55:47.000 It's probably like Masterclass, but in the world of various subjects.

01:55:51.000 Look, if you've ever seen the Tom Morello Masterclass, Jordan Peterson is not selling anything like that.

01:55:56.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:55:56.000 I mean, the idea is like an online university that actually teaches you how to think and not what to think.

01:56:01.000 It gives you stuff you won't get at the...

01:56:05.000 Neo-Marxist post-modernist universities, you know?

01:56:07.000 But does he believe in dragons?

01:56:08.000 Oh, I hope so.

01:56:09.000 Of course.

01:56:10.000 But mythologically speaking.

01:56:11.000 Yeah, those that challenge your father.

01:56:13.000 Mythological truth is just as valuable to the West.

01:56:14.000 I met Jordan a few weeks ago, and we talked about him coming on the show.

01:56:19.000 He did briefly join us when we were on election night, but I said we do Tim Castiorello, The Culture War.

01:56:25.000 IRL is topical news stories.

01:56:26.000 Culture War is long, free-form discussion.

01:56:28.000 He goes, The Culture War seems like it's the good idea. 1.00

01:56:30.000 And I've been in it, you know, so it's not simple.

01:56:33.000 It's not, you know, and...

01:56:34.000 But he was basically saying, like, he and I having a philosophical conversation on how we see the world, and then, you know, I think he could teach me a lot of things and throw a lot of things at me, which would be really interesting.

01:56:46.000 And I was like, that sounds like a really great picture.

01:56:48.000 Yeah, we gotta have Ian there for sure, because I think Jordan Peterson might get flustered and confused, and Ian might win.

01:56:54.000 I'll calm him down.

01:56:56.000 Yeah.

01:56:56.000 Well, I don't mean, I'm not saying when, as in, like, Ian will come up with a more cohesive sense of reality.

01:57:01.000 It's that Jordan Peterson will not understand how to navigate the ideas Ian's throwing at him.

01:57:06.000 Ian will break Jordan Peterson.

01:57:08.000 He had such a good time on election night.

01:57:09.000 Ian, you broke Dr. Peterson.

01:57:11.000 What's going on?

01:57:12.000 I'm glitching, you know, Ian.

01:57:14.000 I don't know how to answer that.

01:57:15.000 He's really one of my favorite people on earth.

01:57:17.000 He's such an amazing, inspirational dude, man.

01:57:20.000 I'll tell you the amazing thing.

01:57:20.000 He's done well for me, too.

01:57:22.000 There are a lot of people that I've met who I don't know if they're politics, and it's like some people I know, and then they say they're huge fans of Jordan Peterson, and I'm like, oh, okay.

01:57:30.000 You know, we're cool.

01:57:31.000 They listen to the guy, they understand what he's trying to say, and the left has been trying to smear the guy relentlessly.

01:57:35.000 And he wears banging suits.

01:57:36.000 Oh, yes.

01:57:37.000 Yeah, when I met him, he had the dual color.

01:57:39.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:39.000 You know, they're made for me.

01:57:40.000 Half red.

01:57:41.000 You know, it's for the fine line between order and chaos.

01:57:44.000 When I saw him live in Miami, by the way, the thing I noticed the most was the lines out the door and every kind of person you can imagine going to see Jordan Peterson.

01:57:52.000 As much as you buy into this narrative that it's, you know, lonely, incel, white man, you know, it's actually everybody, all ages, it's like the most diverse crowd I've ever seen.

01:58:02.000 It's absolutely wild now.

01:58:03.000 It's pretty inspiring.

01:58:04.000 How powerful that voice is and how clarifying it is for so many people.

01:58:08.000 It's deeply impressive.

01:58:09.000 Let's read this.

01:58:10.000 We've got Mary Evans says, Cash FBI, Bongino Secret Service, Brandon Herrera, ATF Director, Ken Paxton AG, great attention to the Trump Justice League.

01:58:19.000 Well, likely not Ken Paxton, but that would be a good idea.

01:58:22.000 I do not see a reality where Dan Bongino takes Secret Service Director.

01:58:26.000 I've heard rumors already.

01:58:27.000 Dan Bongino has the biggest live show in...

01:58:31.000 I... I think he has the biggest live show, period.

01:58:34.000 You got half a million live viewers during the election?

01:58:37.000 Half a million?

01:58:38.000 Yeah, he regularly does like 170,000 concurrent viewers on his show.

01:58:43.000 I don't know that, and so you can only estimate the amount of money he's making.

01:58:48.000 I mean, IRL, we had, you know, 56, 57,000 tonight.

01:58:51.000 We've been averaging around 60 or so, and people have a general idea of what we do.

01:58:56.000 Bongino's doing triple that.

01:58:58.000 I don't know how he gives that up for a $300,000, $400,000 a year.

01:59:03.000 Not even that.

01:59:03.000 It's probably a $280,000 a year government job.

01:59:05.000 He has a bigger political impact in media using the bully pulpit than he would have as a Secret Service guy.

01:59:12.000 But I could see him advising Secret Service for sure.

01:59:14.000 Sure.

01:59:15.000 I think I could see him advising something higher up the chain.

01:59:17.000 Secret Service is important too, though.

01:59:19.000 He obviously served as a Secret Service.

01:59:21.000 George Washington was a Christian.

01:59:23.000 Eric.

01:59:24.000 But he didn't believe in the, what is it, of Jesus Christ?

01:59:28.000 The divinity?

01:59:29.000 The divinity of Jesus Christ.

01:59:29.000 He wouldn't be a Christian.

01:59:30.000 So it's like, maybe Matt Walsh could do what is a Christian next. 1.00

01:59:33.000 Oh, that's a good idea.

01:59:35.000 What is a Christian?

01:59:36.000 I didn't want to say what is a Jew.
